An Explanation........

The reason for slow blogging :)  

Websites

Boy has this been a busy year so far!  Farmers' markets, sewing, websites, photography classes, baking, knitting, harp lessons, music recitals, guitar playing, candle dipping, soap making, birthday's...... we have done it all!  whew!  So many things to post about!  

Well, to start off I would like to mention that www.barefootseamstress.com is getting a makeover!  Elizabeth and I are making new additions faster than I can get pictures of them and then uploaded them on the site.  We are adding - funky, retro aprons, organic baby items including burpies, booties, hats and blankets, tea cozies, hand-dipped candles, homemade soaps, wonderful smelling lavender products, hand knit dishcloths, spa sets, and a bunch more that I can't think of at the moment!  ;-) 

A new addition to my list of "things that I love to do" is a photography business!  Yes www.imagesbylauraelizabeth.com is under construction!  Finally!!  :-)

Well, I will be posting our candle-dipping pictures as well as everything else that we have been up to very soon, so keep an eye out!

What can we say?

I know that "I'm sorry" really doesn't cut it this time. Our last break from blogging didn't have an excuse, but this time is different however. About 6 months ago we realized that Elizabeth had more food allergies than we could count. She and I also learned that we are gluten intolerant. All of this excess baking (and eating something that she was allergic to) really took a toll on Elizabeth and until recently she had been in and out of the doctor's office twice a week. Thank goodness she is doing better and is only going once every two weeks! We are now back to normal with a few additional activities that we can't wait to share! We have a lot of catching up to do, so hang around and see what has been going on around here. :-)

Got Raw Food?

Different people have asked about raw food. Since our blog is about so much more than food, Muddy has offered to have her own blog dedicated to gardening and raw food. Since she has almost no knowledge of working a computer, I will be her "computer secretary". She won't be able to post often but she'll try to get something on each week. We actually started it awhile back, but we're just now opening it.

So, the big question is -- "WHAT IS THIS?"



Check out her blog to find the answer.

My Two Best Friends ~~Laura

Meet Laura

These are a few of my favorite things...

She girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong.
Proverbs 31:17

I will give thanks to the Lord
with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name,
O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth does not know that I have decided to introduce her to everybody! Muddy and I put together 2 slide-shows of her when she was practicing her violin.

Let Us Introduce Ourselves

We are Laura (15) and Elizabeth (12), two sisters on a journey to becoming virtuous women. We have been studying Proverbs 31:10-31 and are excited about learning to be the women that God planned for us even before we were born. We are starting this blog in hopes of encouraging other young ladies and women to bring back some of the lost arts of homemaking and stepping "out of the box" and trying something new. We'll be sharing our successes and stumbles, ups and downs. We will be baking, sewing, knitting, playing instruments and singing. There will be service projects, poetry writing and new business adventures. We'll be trying all sorts of new things and stretching our limits with activities we've never tried before. We are praying for God to guide our hands, show us new opportunities, and lead us in the path he has prepared for us. Please join us as we explore the life of the woman whose worth is far above rubies.

We are daughters and homeschoolers and have priorities that must be met each day. We'll try to post a couple of times each week, but if we're absent at times, it's because we're busy being daughters and homeschoolers (or maybe working on a fun project). You might see several posts in the beginning of things we'd like to share up front, but it will taper off soon. Muddy (alias Mommy) may also pop in and share something with us. Please be patient with us as mistakes will surely happen with our blogging as this is all quite new to us.

Thanks and God Bless
