It looks like that vision is ever so slowly becoming a reality, and I thought I would give a little update on how her quilt is coming along.  Things go slowly when you&#8217;re working around two little ones, but progress is progress.</p><p>Here&#8217;s the original picture that I sat down and put together on the computer one night shortly before Abby was born.  Next to it is the revised color scheme I decided on to make it more girly.</p><p><a

We sat down together one night and tried to calculate the smallest amount of fabric I would need for the inner border and binding if I was to cut the fabric on a diagonal instead of straight across.  The good part is, after all that calculating, we ended up just buying the amount I needed to cut it straight across.  It just wasn&#8217;t worth the risk for the few pennies or dollars that would have been saved.  The better part is, we accidentally did all of our calculating based on the shorter end of the quilt (my fault) and I had to cut it all on the diagonal anyway to get it long enough for the longer sides of the quilt.  So I guess our mistake saved us a few pennies after all.</p><p><a

I was afraid to cut into the fabric from my embroidery work.  What if I made a mistake?  That was six months of work I was cutting into!</p><p><a

href="http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/justeeni/media/Projects/Lydiainquilt_zpscb96c4b7.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img

href="http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/justeeni/media/Projects/corners_zpsda9545bc.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img
src="http://mitaylorfamily.com/wp-content/uploads/pb/Projects/corners_zpsda9545bc.jpg?189db0" border="0" alt=" photo corners_zpsda9545bc.jpg" /></a></p><p>Then, for the hardest part of the quilt so far&#8230;I cut out the hills and sky.  I laid it all out once more to see how the colors looked and if everything was cut well enough.  Looks like it might work!</p><p><a
href="http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/justeeni/media/Projects/end_zps2b7f639c.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img

I still don&#8217;t know if those curves are going to work out, because shortly after that last picture was taken we had to pack up and move.  Half of the quilting supplies made it to our new place but half got put away in storage.</p><p>I&#8217;m keeping busy around here, learning piano and cross-stitching a birthday card for Lydia, but as day after day passes I get a little gloomy thinking about this on-hold project.  I had hoped to have it done by Abby&#8217;s first birthday but now that&#8217;s only three months away I&#8217;m re-hoping for an eighteen-month gift.</p><p>This week we put in an offer on a house.  If it&#8217;s accepted I may just wait it out to get back to my quilting.  If someone else gets this house, I&#8217;ll probably ask Dan if we can dig through our storage to get my supplies.  For now, I&#8217;ll just post this update so I can look back on it and be encouraged that this little vision has come so far.  For someone who has never quilted before (except for a rag quilt for my nephew), I think it&#8217;s turning out pretty nicely.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://mitaylorfamily.com/2014/05/22/quilting-away/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>One Year of Thankful</title><link>http://mitaylorfamily.com/2014/04/10/one-year-of-thankful/</link> <comments>http://mitaylorfamily.com/2014/04/10/one-year-of-thankful/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:41:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[justeeni]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[One Year of Thankful]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Abigail]]></category> <category><![CDATA[birthday]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blessing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lydia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[memories]]></category> <category><![CDATA[resolutions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[thanks]]></category><guid

Reflective person that I am, birthdays always cause me to think back over the past year and notice any blessings, hardships, lessons, or changes in my life.  So this year, as I took some time to reflect, I came to a conclusion.</p><p><strong>My twenty-sixth year was the hardest one yet.</strong></p><p>From moves to job changes to NICU trauma, the year was full of hard things, harder things than I&#8217;ve ever gone through before.  I started to wonder&#8230;was it a particularly hard year?  Or is life just hard and I&#8217;m noticing it for the first time?  It was a depressing thought, but I really was wondering if being a grown up is just plain old hard and I need to get used to it.</p><p>Whether it was a hard year or this is a hard life, I decided that I need to work a little more at thoroughly soaking up and enjoying my blessings, and thanking God for them.  So I made a resolution.  For my twenty-seventh year I want to be more purposefully thankful, deeply thankful.</p><p>This is nothing new, I know.  But for this year I&#8217;m going to try to record one thing for which I am thankful every day.  And, since I&#8217;m a visual person, I&#8217;m going to take a picture for each day, so I can easily look back and literally <em>see</em> some of my favorite blessings.  I&#8217;m not sure how often I&#8217;ll share these on this blog, but I thought I could at least share a few to start.</p><p>God is good, all the time, whether life is hard or not.  But God has also been so good as to fill my life with blessings.  So call them gifts, or <a
href="http://mitaylorfamily.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/gathering-the-edelweiss-of-god/" target="_blank">Edelweiss</a>, or blessings, or silver linings, or <a
href="http://mitaylorfamily.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/woodchips-and-flowers/" target="_blank">woodchips or flowers</a>&#8230;but here we go.</p><p>Day 1 &#8211; A fresh new year ahead to walk with the Lord</p><p><a

He sympathizes with the challenges of my job and helps me prioritize.  Then he is pleased with the things I do and doesn&#8217;t care about the things I don&#8217;t get done.</p><p><a
