Everything Crochet/ A Homemade life

I've been crocheting quite a bit lately and thought I would share some of the things I've completed. I found all of the patterns on this website. It is my favorite place to find free patterns.

This is the sweater I made for Hailey. I used the same pattern as I used for Ethan's sweater and it fits her perfectly.
(Ethan's hood is stretched out because he hangs it up by the hood and has had his sweater for about a year now)


This is a hat that my niece requested. It was a fun and quick project:


This is a pumpkin keychain that I made for a group of moms that I talk with, we all had babies in October, hence, the pumpkin theme: (I added the small tag with a note for when I mailed them)
So that is a bit of what I've been busy with; I'm looking for a new project to start now. Any ideas for me?

"God is in Every Tomorrow"

I found this poem in a magazine I recently received. It was a great encouragement to me and now hangs on my fridge. I thought I would share it here also:

"God is in Every Tomorrow"

God is in every tomorrow,
Therefore I live for today,
Certain of finding at sunrise,
Guidance and strength for the day;
Power for each moment of weakness;
Hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort for every sorrow,
Sunshine and joy after rain.

God is in every tomorrow,
Planning for you and for me;
E'en in the dark will I follow,
Trust where my eyes cannot see.
Stilled by His promise of blessing,
Soothed by the touch of His hand,
Confident in His protection,
Knowing my life-path is planned.

God is in every tomorrow,
Life with its changes may come,
He is behind and before me,
While in the distance shines Home!
Home where no thoughts of tomorrow
Ever can shadow my brow,
Home in the presence of Jesus,
Through all eternity now!
