I also posted a few aprons I've made in my Etsy Shop, mostly children's aprons. They are ready to be purchased and sent. These are by far one of my favorite things I have made. I have some other fun ideas for little boy aprons floating through my head, a few of them have made it to paper and a few are still in my head. I can't wait to get started on them. This week I must finish the projects I've already started though. I can't wait to show you the fabric flower hair accessories I've been busy making for the last several weeks! As always if you have an idea for something you would like made, I'd be glad to help you out.
Also I'm so excited to do some craft shows this fall. I just got an email today with info for one the beginning of October here in Wichita. It looks like my evenings will be busy sewing away!
I have seriously considered getting a part time job. We didn't plan being here these extra months and Marvin wasn't able to get very many hours last winter and since half of the people Marvin works with were laid off last week we are thinking it would be a good time to build up that savings account. We haven't quite decided how to go about this. If I find a job during the day then we'll need childcare and that plays a big factor in our decision. If I find a job working at night then I'll won't hardly see Marvin. AGHHHH, this isn't fun. Our best option is doing childcare, so if you know of anyone in Wichita looking for childcare! I'm your girl. I can watch no more than 2 kids, since we don't have transportation that can take more than 2. I seriously think I'm going to be exhausted come March.
Anyway keep praying for us. We've had some great family time recently and keep clinging to Jesus during this time of unknowns. I guess we are really being stretched in how much we trust Father for our provision right now.

Erica put a listing on craigslist! Anyone who knows you, knows you would be an excellent caregiver, but you certainly also have the background qualifications for it. I honestly think you'd really, really enjoy watching another child. I did. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hey there lady! I am just now getting caught up on your last few posts.
I am so sorry you are having to wait until March to leave. :( You are so wise to see the lesson in dying to yourself daily in this- a lesson that we all need to be reminded of. I will certainly keep you in my prayers.
I know what you mean about disciplining- wow, its rough!! Much harder when its your own child (and 24 hours a day!) Marvin is wonderful for seeing your need for a break. I know you guys are doing an amazing job with Calvin.
I signed up for the apron- its ADORABLE!! I really need to get one (or hopefully I will just win one!)
I have thought about watching other kids at home too. There are a lot of benefits, like the opportunity for Calvin to have playmates and opportunities to share and gain all those wonderful social skills. Maybe that is what God has for you right now? A child or a family that need to know him? You could really make a difference in a child/family's life in those few short months you are waiting to go. Keep your chin up, you will be back before you know it! Love you!!
