Candle By Night?

I don't even know how many people have even read this blog, but I realize that someone might wonder why in the world I titled my blog "Candle By Night." Well...it is my "business." Sort of... Last year I made a lot of items for a local craft fair to sell. I was trying to come up with a name for my booth and my DH came up with "Candle By Night Creations" and that is what we went with. Last year was not a good year for craft fairs, but I will try again this year and maybe even some bigger ones. Anyway, I make crocheted dishcloths and washcloths, crocheted potholders, purses, doilies, bunting dolls (these are sooooo cute!), afghans, and I hope to make some bath salts, bath bombs, and soaps soon. So..In case you where wondering. That is why. I was selling some of my items through a lady in Amish Country, but I felt it was too much of a hassle for her to deal with my items, take care of her husband, and run her little shop. I hope to post some photos of things I make here soon.
I want to be the Proverbs 31 women in all aspects, but I would love to find something that I could do at home, involving my children, and make some money doing it. I just haven't figured out exactly how to go about it. I guess I should start looking after my household first and go clean the MB. It is a mess! I also need to start getting items together for our trip. We are going to my parents home in North Myrtle Beach over Labor Day weekend and there is a lot to get done. I don't like to ask my hubby for a lot of help because I know he is absolutely exhausted when he gets home from hanging insulation all day. May God Bless you all!

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
