Butterfly Hat

Hello all, 

I wanted to share this hat I made with last week. It is a super cute hat that has a subtle vintage style. 

It took me about three hours to make using a Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn in a cranberry red color, and a K hook. I found the pattern HERE. The original pattern is for a child size hat, but because I used a larger weight yarn and bigger hook mine came out to fit my head perfectly. This hat is very easily modified to whatever suites personal taste. I am in love with this hat!! 

Please make one!!! 

One Year!

This past Thursday was Tony and I shared our 1st year anniversary of being together!

This year has been the best year of my life. I am so excited for the future God has prepared for me with this man! I am also so excited for the ministry God has placed on both our hearts! I am so blessed to have such a man after God's heart who is so encouraging and loving to anyone who is placed in his life.

This weekend we got all dressed up, went to see a movie and have dinner. The date was absolutely perfect! Our gifts to each other were made in secret and somehow we ended up both making the other a photo album of our first year together.  I am so endlessly amazed and grateful how God has orchestrated mine and Tony's relationship. 

Sweetheart, I love you! 

Home stretch!!

In 5 days I will be traveling home for the first time this semester, and I am soo excited! I am beyond ready to see my family and be in my home town for a few days! My reason for going home is to play violin in a friends wedding. I have a feeling that the weekend will be an emotional whirlwind. I am also excited because my boyfriend is coming to visit and attend the wedding with me.
Once the weekend comes and go then there is fall break, then thanksgiving and Christmas!! I am so thrilled this semester is racing by! I am ready to be done with the current chapter of life I presently am in.
