It’s an Update

6 / 26 / 156 / 26 / 15
By Nancy Ann | Filed under Family Stuff

Hello dear readers of Femina. I feel that an explanation for our long absence is in order, but I’m afraid it is not a very glamorous one! We have been busy. That’s it. Period. Just like all the rest of you. So I am not going to make an announcement that we are “back” just yet. Bekah has been keeping this place afloat with the last couple posts, so I don’t need to explain her absence; Rachel is looking beautiful with numero seven on the way (keeping her street cred); and I have no excuse to offer other than full days and lots of hay on my fork. However, I have been thinking of ideas for blog posts, so you’ll be seeing one from me shortly. No promises from Rachel. But, here’s some good news: in her free time (does it exist?) she is working on a new book.

Life-cycle of a lantern

lanterns

Here’s a little tale of moral uplift for you. I shall start by saying that the above pic is from my booth at market years ago when my first fabric collection debuted. I had designed the lanterns as a way of showcasing the fabric, but also because the company I was designing for wanted me to market some sewing patterns as well. So I made up a little sewing pattern and I hung the sample lanterns in  my booth.

Fast forward. Along with a number of other random props from the booth, the lanterns ended up in my attic. And you know how attics are. They accumulate sedimentary layers of random, cast-off possessions that you don’t want to look at anymore but for some all-mysterious reason you don’t just burn down or throw away. Read More

Thanks for Coming!

To celebrate the arrival of our new blog look, I came down with a bug that kept me in bed all week. But I now I peek out from under the covers to say hello and especially to extend a belated thank you to all of you who came to the Grace Agenda conference. We enjoyed getting to visit with old friends and meet many who were new to us. And of course we couldn’t do it at all without the many friends from our church community here who attend, help, and encourage us so much. Each year we are blessed and surprised to see how many come from across the country to obscure little  Moscow for our conference. So thank you!

If you didn’t make it this year, and you’d like to listen to the audio tapes of the Grace Agenda conference, the church leaders’ seminar, or the Femina Girls’ talks, you can now find them all for free on the Christ Church website.

Here Comes Halloween

Bel Halloween

Once upon a time when we were living in England, I kept hearing this one particular song everywhere I went. I think it was around Christmas, so I was out shopping a lot – and the song was everywhere. It had a great vibe and I liked it, so I downloaded it and added it to the mix. My dad had taught me early on that you should always read the lyrics so that you know what you’re singing along to . . . and that’s a habit that has stuck with me to this day. As an aside, that habit is especially important as a parent – who wants to find out later that your kids have all memorized something filthy that you’ve been playing around the house every day? Anyway, I remember that I had looked up the lyrics to this song and they were completely nonsensical and poetically unimpressive, but there wasn’t anything problematic about it in that way. And it was a great song to cook to. I always love it when the music is turned up and everyone is in the kitchen helping, and like I said, this song had a great vibe. So it was definitely having a presence around the homefront as well as in the Christmas sales around Oxford.

After a week or so, apropos of nothing, I looked up the band. It wasn’t a group that I was familiar with, and so in a moment of curiosity I googled them. Read More

Online Study!

8 / 27 / 148 / 27 / 14
By lizziejank | Filed under Family Stuff, Marriage, Mothering | Tags: Domesticity, From (Rachel) Lizzie

Hi ladies! This fall I will be doing an online webinar study. It will be a topical room by room through the house study, with a focus on purpose and joy.

The fine people at Canon Press have set it up so that you can register as a group, if that appeals, or as an individual. It will be a live webinar,  but the talks will be recorded and each registrant will have 6 months of access to the recordings.

I am looking forward to it, and would love to have you join us! You can register and find out more here.
