congratulations Joni!!! you are the winner

How about a giveaway from Sew Krafty. They have several great handcrafted items, modest nursing covers, washable nursing pads, diaper bags, wet bags, flannel wipes, cloth Sanitary pads, lined with waterproof PUL, cloth diaper covers and aprons.

Today’s giveaway is for one of these beautiful modest nursing covers, You can cover up and yet still SEE your sweet lil baby. That has always been my determining factor when buying nursing covers. I love items made by Amy, she is super meticulous, and pays lots of attention to details. Many of the items she makes are just the things many Mommy’s want but rarely seem to find the time to make.

This cover is the one we are giving away. Isn’t it pretty? My daughter says she loves this style of cover it because it doesn’t bunch up around the baby’s face, it’s open, the fabric breathable, and best of all you can see them.

These nursing covers are made with boning and an adjustable neck strap. Approx. 24″ x 36″. $14 free shipping. You may combine with any of my other items (diaper covers, wipes, nursing pads, sanitary pads) to save shipping. The more you order, the cheaper the shipping! Made by Amy

Ok, here we go, this will be very easy. US addresses only please.

Giveaway ends ~~Sunday the 24th~~ extended to Tuesday the 26th at midnight Smile

Simple Woman’s Daybook February 16

My Simple Woman’s Daybook For Today… February 16 , 2009

good morning dear April! who is now a new Momma, and has made me a Grandmomma!

Outside my Window… it is cold again, I wonder if something is blooming, we call these cold snaps “Dogwood Winter” or “Redbud Winter” according to what is blooming. There are about 5 extra “Winters”.

I am thinking… about my family, and how wonderful it is to have a big one, when I had babies I never really had anyone to come help, my extended family never understood the concept of that, all the women worked. It is so nice to be able to take all of April’s sisters to her house and for us to cook and clean for her and give her stress free baby bonding time. I believe that is God’s plan, for us to support one another. No wonder too many moms only have a couple children without a sense of community.

I am thankful for… my children, and grandchild

From the kitchen… I hear dishes being washed

From the learning rooms… we are learning about service, serving one another

I am wearing… navy knit pants and a pink tshirt with a button up corduroy shirt over it
I am reading… the book of Jeremiah

I am hoping… to have a peaceful week, and that all is productive and smooth

I am hearing… my children doing their chores
I am creating… new Creatively Simple “How to” books – “Sprouts In A Jar”, “Homemade Donuts”, and “Homemade Bread The Old Fashioned” way are the titles for this week. I am also working on one abut how to make bloomers. My “Butter in a Blender book will be given away free on Friday. Stay tuned here.
Around the house… things are very quiet still

One of my favorite things… my dear new grandbaby Zoe
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… lots of blogging, baby holding, and ebook writing, keep checking back at my front page

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you… Daffodils are to a Southerner like the Rainbow was to Noah. Our promise that winter won’t last forever.

sewing a baby quilt

February 10, 2009 · by Penny · 4 Comments

Well for my tackle it Tuesday task today, I am finishing a baby quilt for my soon to be born granddaughter. I had started one a couple week ago, but just wasn’t exactly pleased with the layout so I had been sitting on it for awhile. Yesterday I laid it all out different and I really like it so I am going to try and finish today. I also finished the dust ruffle yesterday. I also have one other crafty item I am making for April’s birthday but she often reads along here so I can’t say what it is. But I will take a pic and show you later in the week. It is very creative.

Other than sewing I am sending out my Front Porch Fellowship E-zine here in a little bit if you aren’t subscribed get in on it quick, you can subscribe at my bookstore.

I also need to rearrange my sidebars here, but now I m getting side tracked, first, sew, sew, sew.

So… here goes..
