alsooo
my little crochet blog is sad and lonely. so it's having a giveaway!!! *cue cheers*

yes i am wearing my brothers hoodie but it was soooo comfy!!!

 {Joshua & Lilliana} these were around 12-23-17 or something :P

end of october when i took these <3

I feel like people won't really understand how much I miss this little guy or why, since we only had him for a couple days. I guess I just get really attached to people (babies especially <3) and then it's hard to 'let go.' For a little tiny bit of your life we were an important part- now you're growing up, little Theodore Jackson. <333 Miss you Theo. <3

So yes I would love to give all these different groups of pictures they're own little post...I wanted to finish posting 2017 pictures before 2018. Ya know? Idk, I guess I'm just a weird kind of person with stuff like that, but anyways. Here are lots of pictures, be prepared for some more!! There's tons of pictures of gingerbread houses, lots of object photography, and random everyday pictures. 

Life has been busy. I'm trying to finish school before the new year, finish other goals + making new ones. Got 4 orders just in this month, so that's awesome!! I feel like the Lord has been blessing me with these orders, of course it's work, but I'm raising the money I need for the baby bundles!!! Super excited xD We almost have the back porch completely turned into a living space. We need to figure a way to keep more heat in, but it's almost there! When it's finished we'll officially have, an extra 2-person room, more storage, a laundry room and pantry. Which will also open up our dining room. I can't wait for everything to be done :D 

sooooo, there's my little rant for the day. If you finished this post, then you should go get some ice cream. If you don't have ice cream then just eat homemade pizza. ;D 

see ya peoples!!!

So May was like busy, but relaxing, but not relaxing...
ok, not sure where I'm headed with this. :0

The start was just like, nice and a fun busy, but the last couple days here have been horrid! (well, mostly) Micah has been sick and miserable so he is crying nearly all the time. We'll get through it tho, it'll just be hard for a little while. :|
May was actually really, really hard for me. It always is. More on that in another post tho...
I'm going to post the few pics from camp and such. But for thus wrap up I'll put random stuff, no order, so y'all can see what my month looked like! (kinda :/ )
