AWAKEN AND RENEW

I remain confident in this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Psalms 27:13 NIV

TWEAK AND NOURISH

TWO -INGREDIENT AFTER DINNER TREAT: HEALTHY VS INDULGENT. I absolutely love having a stash of frozen dark cherries in the freezer for those moments when I crave something sweet! It's a rare sight to find ice cream in our freezer, unless there's a pie waiting to be topped. For Thanksgiving, we made sure to have vanilla ice cream ready for our pie. So, when my husband and I were pondering dessert options, he eagerly grabbed the vanilla ice cream and frozen cherries to whip up a homemade version of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. My twist was using vanilla yogurt with those delightful frozen cherries. I savored every single bite!

CREATE AND EVOLVE

A NEW PATTERN: SCRUB HAT FOR LONG HAIR. I'm thrilled to share that my friend, Kanokkul, crafted an amazing scrub hat pattern perfect for long hair! She generously shared this pattern with me just when I was on the hunt for a new scrub hat to sew for the incredible nurses who cared for me during my surgery. Not only did she give me the template, but she also patiently guided me with step-by-step instructions over the phone and video chat. She truly understands that following patterns in sewing isn't my strongest suit :)
