Early in October, I mentioned briefly that God was giving me direction for my crafting and TurtleStar. Today, I finally have some news to share. I opened my own online store. After some prayer regarding the busyness of our family, I felt that God was showing me that (1) selling online really isn’t something to […]

this, I like.
This evening I was googling my business name, TurtleStar. You never know if someone out there may be using the name. Nothing significant has turned up yet, except turtlestar is the name of an asteroid. More than that, I learned this: The Turtle Star Observatory, located in Mülheim/Ruhr, Germany, contributed follow-up observations for this object. […]
better.
The past month has been quite a drastic change. The beginning of a new school year is just as much work for me as it is for the kids. With all the things that are going on, (school events, Cub Scouts, packing lunches, shuttling from place to place, my womens’ bible study, appointments with people, […]
research.
September is here and October is coming soon. So what am I researching? Costumes. I bring it upon myself. I’ve been thinking about making them again this year. I won’t yet mention my top choices–in case I chicken out. I will tell you, however, that O still wants to be a jedi –for the third […]
end of summer
Well, Evan started school, the air is starting to turn crisp, the days are growing shorter and the tomato harvest is tapering off. AND today I noticed that the leaves are turning colors. Though my flip-flop-shod feet deny it, summer is over. I had to put up a picture of our tomatoes at peak harvest–just […]
ouch.
Well, today I managed to get the injury of the week: a burn. I’ve always heard that burns from steam were very bad. Now I know first hand it is true. I ran it under cool water immediately so it’s just red now. Still stings. Ow. Every time I get sick or hurt I remember […]
back with goodies
Hello. We just returned from a week in CA. It seemed like such a quick trip. It’s probably because we had something happening every day and we usually stay for more than a week. I posted some pictures. For all the things we did, there aren’t too many pictures to show for it. The kids […]
too much fun.
Whew. What a week. Fun but tiring. We had two waves of guests staying with us. The kids love having “uncles” and “aunties” around the house. And it also means eating more dessert, staying up a bit later and just fun in general. Of course so much fun comes with responsibility, like when you get […]
focus
“Focus!” I say that to one of my kids every so often. Lately, I’ve been finding myself saying that to myself. I could blame the weather or being home with the three boys. I have to accept that summer is a time of doing less with more people. Less shopping, less crafting and less “me” […]
turtlestar project, the sequel
Hi everyone, I’ve come to a decision and I’m excited to present my next workshop: how to hem pants. I have had to shorten most of my pants. I’ve learned some tricks from a lot of trial and error. Below are the details of my workshop. Feel free to invite anyone who might be interested–I’d […]
