Needlepoint!

This past weekend I did my first needlepoint project. I am constantly redirecting my crafty pursuits, and I tell myself that I should just focus on one thing if I ever want to get really good at it. I just like trying out all kinds of crafts! Just to give you a taste of the different crafts I like- I learned how to crochet last weekend, I love all types of paper crafts, especially scrapbooking and card making, I like to sew, and I have been wanting to make a quilt for some time now. I just can't narrow it down! Needlepoint has my attention this week. I got interested in it when I read Cath Kidston's catalog, which reads much more like a magazine. If you don't know who Cath Kidston is, then you must check out her site and catalogue. I love getting it in the mail because it is soo inspiring! I really want to get her new book called "Stitch!"You can only get the book on the UK amazon, and it comes to about $25 US currency. If it weren't for the price tag, I would definitely own it! Plus, the book comes with everything to make that little purse on the cover. The needlepoint I did over the weekend was a little patch with the same flower motif on the cover of the book.

Along with doing some stitching over the weekend, I got to explore Nashville while Jordan was at a conference. I went to some cute vintage clothing stores and an amazing antique book store. I found so many great old books that I wanted. Nashville has soo many things to do, I really want to go back and visit again soon.

Jeremy Larson



This is a video from a project Jeremy Larson is doing called Fort Christmas. I have just recently discovered him, and I will definitely be buying his new EP when it comes out. This is the sweetest love song. It's about a couple getting to know each other for the first time on New Years Eve. It is so close to my heart since I got married on New Years Eve. My favorite line is towards the end. He says, "This is the beginning of the best years of our life, the first years of our lives, starting now." Hope you enjoy!
