Mama's Nest

Inspired by the scripture in Matthew 10:21 that says, "You are more valuable to Him then many sparrows."  And after putting together odds and ends of creative ideas from friends and on-line crafters, my daughters and I have come up with a team effort fundraiser!  Mama's Nest Necklaces.




NEW 3/2014: Visit our Etsy Shop to see 
many more options and styles!  

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mamasnestjewelryart


These necklaces are handmade by the Vogtman girls.  Each nest is unique with minor differences than what you may see from these sample photos.  Yours will be lovely!

These nests are approximately 3/4" wide and contain 3 eggs, but you can specify if you'd like more (up to 5 with no additional charge) or less based on how many 'little ones' you care for in your Mama's nest.  The chain is a 16" adjustable length chain with a clasp closure.  The silver metals are sliver plated, and the bronze are antiqued bronze.  The beads are African Turquoise, American Turquoise, and Jasper (randomly chosen)



All the sales profit of this necklace sale go directly to our adoption funds to support the coming home of two precious children!  And to Erin's Spring 2014 missions trip to serve orphans in Haiti. 

We thank you!!

    I was so excited when I found your necklaces this morning at Wispering Pines in PA.
    We have a huge heart for adoption and Ethiopia ( I have a niece that was adopted form there! :).)
    We were so excited to be a little part of what the Lord is doing in our life and bringing your sweet babies home!

    Many Blessings,

Airplane Tray Table Cover for Travel!

In my part of the world, the popular sport of choice for this season is sewing.  Sewing?  Yes, well, it's a winter sport for me with its challenges, obstacles, and skills to be improved upon!  Not to mention that it hasn't been above 10 degrees Fahrenheit for near a month and with wind chills at -25 to -40 tonight, one just has to stay inside in the comfy cozy walls of home! Out comes the sewing machine and projects left behind from seasons past.  This time, I decided to tackle a new project that will be put to good use in the future: an Airplane Tray Table Cover for future traveling!  Thinking of sunny Ethiopia just brightens the mood from the winter blues too! After searching the web, and viewing images of other "airplane tray table covers" (search it, you'll find them), I decided to create my own.  This is pic is of my first attempt.  Overall, it turned out fine and I am happy with the end result.  To give you an idea, this would slip over the airplane tra

Details, Details, and What Can We Do?

It's a girl!  Thank you for the excitement and prayers of joy for us as we announced our next adoption! We have kept our finger on the pulse in the adoption world since bringing home our son, and all I can contribute finding out about this adoption is by the direction of God the Father.  He "places the lonely in families!" - Psalm 68:6  I know that everyone is anxious to know more details, trust me, I know it's part of the excitement to hear the scoop! What I can say is that she is 7 years old and very petite.  She has brown eyes, brown curly hair, and beautiful brown skin.  Her smile is contagious and her eyes show that she is spunky inside of that tiny frame.  She loves to laugh and eat pie! What I can't say is all of her story.  It's very complicated, emotionally complex, broken. And at her age of understanding all that is going on around her, well, it's her story and we want to respect that privacy for her.  While this is a time of joy and cele

Miserly Moms Recipes

After posting some ideas about tips for the family budget, I had many positive responses and am encouraged that many of you will be putting forth an effort to set a food budget and stay within that budget.  Take a visit here to view the previous post. Miserly Moms by Jonni McCoy is an excellent resource for money saving tips, menus, recipes, and family organization.  After looking it up on Amazon, apparently my copy is the "collectable" edition...oh geez, that makes me feel old.  There is a newer edition that Jonni has available in a Kindle version for $7.99 .  Note: Kindles weren't invented yet when I was starting out as a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom)  Ha.ha.laugh.   Here are some highlights from the book (the one made of paper) :   1. Don't Confuse Frugality with Depriving Yourself  2. Remove Little Wasters of Your Money 3. Don't Buy Everything at the Same Store 4. Make Your Own Whenever Possible 5. Eliminate Convenience Foods 6. Cut Back on Meats
