The Mittens Have Arrived!

We are thoroughly enjoying winter in our family! Over the last few days I have hand-sewn our little lamb his own really warm winter mittens and hat. Of course, they don't match at all but that's all the more reason for another hat and another set of mittens :-) The are super-duper easy, even sewing by hand. Definitely a good idea if you are in a cold climate and want some nice mittens at a reasonable price.

You may recognise the print in the background of the hat photo as being the same pattern as one of the blocks on

Manny's quilt...but this time it's not cotton, it's flannelet. I was blown away when I saw it as I was looking for flannel sheets for Manny and I was in a different fabric shop than normal just by chance. It was one of those sweet little things God does to remind me that He cares about the small, everyday parts of life, and His way of reassuring me that He will always provide.
