musings- a stream of consciousness poem
I be like, “This thing you love now is gonna annoy the fuck out of you one day.” And they’re like, “Can you repeat that? I don’t understand what you mean.” And then I say, “this thing right now – a second ago- that you think is so cute and endearing (like me forgetting what I’m gonna say *while* I’m saying it). Right now, it happens and you giggle and you squeeze my hand tightly for a…

Gems.
I don’t feel safe sharing life updates yet. I will share once I know that I won’t have to suffer the recourse.
In the meantime, here are some gems that I’ve been thinking about:

Fear.
The thing with hope is that it often is shadowed by fear.

Hope.
For the first time in a very long time, I feel hopeful. I don’t know what will happen in my life…in my marriage…and I am okay. I know that I will always end up being okay. Even when it doesn’t feel like I’ll ever be okay again. We will all be okay.

Say nothing.
I’m sure I’ve talked before about how I used to always feel ugly. How I longed for people to tell me that I’m beautiful. There was a huge whole in my psyche that refused to allow “good” thoughts to filter in. It was a really big problem. And it was also confusing. Let me explain: (more…)

[makes] Bucket list.
Back in the day (3 years ago) when I started sewing, I could not imagine how quickly my skills would progress or how much joy I would get from sewing my own clothes. (more…)

Five star reads.
I’ve been a reader an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I am a person who thrives on getting lost in story. A lover of alllllllll the words. The images conjured. The small quotable portions of dialogue. The moment when the title of the book finallyappears within the text (my favorite part). I can’t remember how long I’ve enjoyed reading but I do remember some things. I remember loving a…

[sewing.] Mama and me.
I love the mama and me trend that I’ve seen going around where mamas and their littles dress in coordinating outfits or even the same outfit. I have a couple of patterns that are the same as Laila Grace and I always have these grand plans of sewing the two of us cute little outfits. But, let’s face it, my sewing plan is usually, “SQUIRREL!” I let myself get pulled this way and that way by the…

fundraiser: Black Lives Matter.
fundraiser: Black Lives Matter.
I am black. My husband is white. My daughter is half white. Nearly half of my extended family is white. I receive conflicting responses, or even silence, when I talk to about issues that matter to me such as systemic racism, Black Lives Matter, body positivity and reproductive rights. It may seem contradictory that I am a pro-choice, Jesus-following feminist. Aren’t some of those ideologies…

WhatSamMade. The shop (and a giveaway).
A lot of you have asked. I’ve thought about it for a while now. I’m finally going to do it. I’m going to do it. I’m going to “dare greatly” and put myself out there. Thanks to my friend Christine C. for digitizing my logo for me! (more…)

Kneel.
I admit that I am that annoying person on Facebook. I shout my POV from the rooftops. I post tons of articles hoping that people will read them. I sometimes engage when I really, really know better than to do it. I am a keyboard activist if you will. Have you heard of this term? It’s basically a term for someone who talks about a lot of issues but doesn’t really do anything other than talk.…

Ten.
Last year was easily the most difficult year of my life. I struggled with being controlling. I struggled with defining my importance based on Who I belong to instead of what I do (or what I don’t do). I struggled with accepting my extraordinary body. I realized I had post partum depression. I sought help. And here we are: nine months after I began treatment for PPD. Here we are embarking on our…

Sew ready for Fall: Sewing for my hubs.
Sew ready for Fall: Sewing for my hubs.
Well, more like “pestering my hubs to allow me to measure him so that I can make him a proper fitting garment.” Except he refused to let me measure him until yesterday. And my post for the tour is due on August 5. To say I’m a little annoyed about the situation would be a definite understatement. (more…)

Wow.
It’s awesome that God is showing me how to let Him love me. The bible has been “boring” to me for a while now. I’m still a Christian but I haven’t found pleasure in reading His words (the word He inspired the authors to write). (more…)

Understanding.
I felt alone. I didn’t seem as though many people legitimately cared about me or how I was doing. (more…)

Life lessons I've learned from my one year old.
Life lessons I’ve learned from my one year old.
Without getting too mushy- which is almost impossible when I start talking about my baby girl- I have been thinking about how fun it is having Elle around. She is a joy. She makes life fun. Her hugs can bring me to tears and when she says, “mama” I melt. I am so glad that she chose me to be her mama. (more…)
