How to BE in 2019

Don't you just love a fresh start?! This year I opted out of my normal goal setting "to do" list and instead wrote a list of "to be's" for myself.  It was a list mostly made up of adjectives, a lot of which already describe me, but that I want to intentionally turn up the volume.  

Obviously, creativity was near the top of the list, as was peace, simplicity, faith, self-discipline, and generosity.  I think by focusing on being these adjectives, I will be extra aware of what isn't fitting into this intentional lifestyle, things that can creep up without me realizing, things like fear, doubt, and laziness.  

This year it's all about who I want to BE, not what I want to DO.

Because I want to BE a more creative person, I'm already exploding with new project ideas, things to make, patterns to design and I can't wait to share them with you!

Obviously one of these new projects is going to involve this amazing Daisy Chain yarn from Knit Collage. Does it not just scream CREATIVITY!?

How do you like to mentally prepare for a new year? Leave me a comment, I’d love to know!

In the Garden with a Baby and her Bonnet

Fall outfits can be so complicated! You want to be all cozy in a sweater and boots, but the sun is shinning too bright, so you wear that t-shirt, but then later in the afternoon you wonder why you're so chilly! Where's that sweater? Where's that bonnet?  Little Addie here has is all figured out, onesie and bloomers on the bottom, cozy knit bonnet on the top, the perfect compromise!

Outfit details:  Bonnet from Blue Corduroy // Bloomers from Rhinestones and Tutus // Onesie from Mini and Meep // Rattle from Banner Toys // Lovey from Moon Child Co.
