Baptism Banner Reflections
Over the past year, I’ve had several discussions with people about my method for making banners or wall hangings. Let me tell you, it’s not a one step process!

Mending, Making, and Motherhood
I go back and forth with whether to include photos of my kids (often just their extremities) on my Reclaimed for Good posts.
