Repost: King of My Heart

At 12 weeks, our son Jude showed physical abnormalities consistent with a condition called Trisomy 18. A condition deemed "incompatible with life" by doctors. A condition that meant I likely wouldn't meet my son alive, and if I did, it would perhaps be just for days, maybe only hours. So, much of my Advent was spent in an intense limbo between accepting suffering and fighting for hope.

All Things New

Rejoice with me, friends! I’m so so grateful to share that we’ve added another member to our family. Baby Wright will, God-willing, join us “on the outside” in May 2021. I am overjoyed and so curious to know what God has planned for us next. He truly does make all things new.

Trust

I’m sitting here on a beautiful fall day. The sun is shining, I’m nestled in a cozy blanket, my toddler is napping, it’s a peaceful moment. At least, it should be.

And yet I’m sitting here wishing for things to be just a little bit different (I wish some things were a lot different). I *just* want a life that is picturesque: a brightly-lit studio space, a consistent morning and evening routine, a home for my little family to call our own (our stuff is currently in storage across the country, but that’s a whole different story), a Zoom-worthy wardrobe that’s comfy and yet somehow put-together…my list could go on. Could yours?

Iris Series

In March, I announced to my studio newsletter friends that I’d begun working on my first collection. In the email I said,

“I'm not sure exactly how it will unfold. Visually, there will be many, many flowers. But behind those flowers are things you won't be able to see: exploration, bravery, play, and trust. My prayer is that the personal growth I inevitably will experience in the process of creating these pieces will spill over to you. To encourage and bless you, and to add beauty to your home and to your life.”

Craft with me: Bookmarks

A new month means a new craft project (or several) for me. This craft came a little bit by accident. I was just enjoying a little “momma alone time,” as Mark says, listening to a podcast and painting just for fun. I didn’t have an outcome in mind, and that made it especially relaxing. The result was loose florals on a few scraps of watercolor paper. After admiring them for a bit, I decided they’d make sweet little bookmarks.
