A New Beginning

Hello world, I am starting a new venture.  you may be new to my blog or you may know me through digital scrapbooking.  I want a place to let the world know who I am and what i have to offer.  i want a place to freely share my faith, to post about my sewing projects and to just have fun.  I hope that you will start to follow me and learn something along the way.  Where are we without help from friends?  i may joke a lot and have fun, life is boring without a few mishaps, am I right? god knows, i have plenty of those.

Let me introduce myself, I am truly- Faith True. Born Faith and married into True. I am married to Jonathan and together we have a soon to be 8 year old boy, Arthur, and a pretty little toddler, Esther Rose, who is 15 months on the 21st of June. I love my life, my family and I am a nut for Jesus. You can call me crazy, but what I KNOW I know.

In 2006, I found a way to help assist my family financially and it was very unexpected.  I was a digital scrapbook designer and until recently, I still was.  I resigned to be a more attentive mother and to pursue other hobbies.  I may go back one day, who knows, but I am enjoying my break.

At this time, I am pursuing sewing as a hobby and a small means of income.  It allows me to spend less time and my daughter loves to sit in my lap while I sew.  I can also alter her clothing to have cute more wearable fashions. It may seem vain but it brings me joy. I think my favorite thing to make right now are refashioned shirts and bags!

Here is a picture of my family from February.  It's so rare that we get a family photo op that I don't even mind the smudged faces or the fact that my husband has closed eyes or even that my son wasn't wearing a shirt under his sweater and his tongue was sticking out. I don't even care that my daughter wasn't paying attention and she was not wearing clothes.  Why don't I care?  Because we look happy, because we look loved, and because we feel the peace of each others presence.  Isn't that what love and life is about?

I rarely get photos of my son, he's going on 8 and avoids my camera at all costs.  He also avoids words like please, thank you, and love.  We are working on that.Little do I get to photograph my husband willingly, either. However, I get a plethora of photos from Esther Rose. When I make her little outfit refashions, she lets me take photos but she is usually very busy.  This is what I got yesterday:

Doesn't it look like tearing out wipes from the box is a lot of fun?  Yeah, I thought so too.  "wink"

Ok, I think I gave you a good introduction, I'll be back as often as I can, I think I am boring the heck out of my facebook followers with my sewing projects so I need to post them here (which is about daily!).
