Hey there! I’m Kira and I’m so glad you could stop by! I am a 17 year old Christian, homeschooled senior in highschool, and welcome to my blog. Here is where I write about my various passions and interests as well as my love for the Gospel and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My hope is that you will see Christ in me, and that God be glorified through this little ole blog of mine. May you be encouraged in your visit here, and hopefully you will stop back again soon!

Here’s some random, simple fall decorating projects I found a while ago. I think they’re kinda cute. Framed Pressed Leaves - this would be a nice way to display all the pressed leaves I have from over the years. Candle nature glass - I did this, minus the acorns though.

Nothing can beat this… at least not presently. ;) Of course, I know diet pop isn’t good for you (nor are any!), but since I don’t have it all that often, my Diet Dr. Pepper is a must for me when I do!

I pulled down my basket of knitting/crocheting supplies from my closet last night, and it occurred to me how long it’s been since I’ve started another project! Too long I’m afraid! One of the projects I plan on starting sometime (hopefully soon, depending on when I head out to the craft store) is this trendy little [...]

Sewing is a great skill to know, and I’ve been really wanting to get into it more, and learn how to make some skirts. So, my grandma came over a couple days ago and we spent some of the morning working on making a wrap skirt for me! Here are a couple pictures… It was really fun. We were able [...]
