Make Welcome

You should check out this awesome craft cooperative started by these awesome people in Charlotte: www.makewelcome.org

Okay, they all happen to be friends of mine.  All bias aside, though, it really is a great group of people meeting a felt need in this community, and showing so much love in the process.  I get asked by students and neighbors all the time whether they can join the group, which now has a waiting list due to space and sewing-machine-access limitations.

Pray that it continues to grow into whatever God wants it to be...

Photos - Fall and San Diego

A couple weeks back, it was one of those amazing autumn Saturdays that begged to be photographed.  It wasn't hard, fortunately--all of these photos were taken on the walk between my house and my Saturday coffee shop haunt.

Then last week I was down in San Diego, visiting one of my dear friends. I got to put my feet in the Pacific (sorry, the Atlantic just isn't the same), hang out in an unexpectedly spectacular cactus garden, and soak in the contrasts of sea and stone and trees all along the coast. Probably a hundred times I found myself wishing I had my real camera with me, but I tried to get at least a few decent shots with the camera on my phone.

The rest of the shots from both sets are on my flickr site.

(And yes, I do plan to write blog posts again, I promise!)
