Wise Words Wednesday # 4

I try my best to really take in the beauty around me as much as possible. 

Although sometimes it is just too easy to get caught up in daily mish-mash to stop and smell the proverbial roses.

The day I took this picture it had rained and stormed all day long 

Then in the even it started to clear up and amounted to such a beautiful golden sunset.

So, I thought that this verse from Luke would be really well-suited.

Awesome New {Albeit Unseasonable} Shop Items!

So, you saw the Maggie scarf the other day

Now it's time to reveal the rest of the goods I've been working on for a while!

I love all of these scarves but, Lord knows I don't need one right now, nor do I need seven!

Do you know how hot it gets down here in Southern GA?  Jeepers!

So, anywho, I have put them in my Etsy shop for you to partake if you should desire!

Yay!

So, first up we have...

Wise Words Wednesday #3

I took this picture myself out in the front yard, you may remember the post

A Little Girl and her Giant Dog

It was one of my favorite photography posts because it was unplanned and turned out amazing anyway.

Sometimes all it takes is just stepping outside with your camera and no plan at all to capture something truly beautiful.

Ok, stepping out of my deep hipster hole.

I Turned My Dog into a Scarf...

For those of you who follow me on Instagram you have seen your fair share of animal scarf pics (mostly foxes, because I have made several now)

A couple of weeks ago a fellow Irish Wolfhound owner started following me on IG and suggested I make an Irish Wolfhound scarf too!  

What a Brilliant Idea right?!  

So I went out and got some awesome yarn and got busy and this is how it turned out:

My son took these pictures and snapped this one while I was repositioning...  I look too ridiculous in this pic not to share it.  lol.

Wise Words Wednesday #2

I took this picture myself.  

These are my son, Tristan's hands holding a dirt clod.

you may recognize this picture from the visit to the park we took earlier this year where the boys were skipping these clods on the lake, 

If not you can check out all the pics here.

I wanted to emphasize the hands and how they were covered in dust, and so I chose this verse from Ecclesiastes.

Back-and-Forth and Back-Talk

You may remember from this post that my husband got a new job.

Just as an update, he really loves it.  There is a bit of a learning curve, just because they are WAY more together than his last job and they do a lot of things differently, but it has been a very enjoyable challenge so far.  Plus the schedule there is amazing!  

3 day weekend EVERY OTHER WEEKEND!  

Whowhat!?

"Ya can't beat that with a stick" as we say down south.

Anyway, with the job being an hour and a half away he has been going there and staying while he is working, and then he drives home and stays here on his off days.

Then he turns around and goes back

This is all just temporary until we find our home there.

But Lord knows we are all having some growing pains.  

Progression of an Irish Wolfhound

While putting off my math homework today

I went through some pictures on the computer of my sweet baby Maggie

Well....  She was a baby here:

I fell in love with her from this pic, look at the little outline of a heart on her chest!

Not so much anymore.  It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that she was this tiny.  

Now she is a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool monster of a dog...

with the gentle heart of an angel.

(Sounds cheesy and hokey, I know

But it's so true)

I decided to throw together a quick little photo montage of the progression of our Sweet Magma to show you just how much a year has changed her....

Enjoy!
