Our garage is a hammering workshop:
Our kitchen table is a beading hub for friends, family and neighbors (love you guys!):
We have become an unlikely jewelry shop:
We have some VERY EXCITING! NEWS concerning the jewelry we make to benefit The Mercy House.
Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
P.S. See my cute headband in the photo? It’s called a Mercy Band-for days when your hair could use a little mercy. I will have 50 of them (all different prints) for sale at the Relevant Conference for $10 each!! I altered the pattern for our Mercy Bands from Tacky headbands. If you want to buy one online, you can here from Because Every Mother Matters. 100% of their profit goes to moms all over the world.
(This is a perfect excuse to ask you to shop mercy).
That is so awesome. Seriously. We’d probably drop by to lend a hand if we were closer!
I can’t wait for our order to get here. I just KNOW the necklace we got for my husband will start some conversations at his work. And the necklace I got for me will too when I’m out and about. Can’t wait!
I LOVE that headband!!!
Whoa. First commenter?! I’m NEVER first on here!! There’s almost always at least a hundred comments before I get on to read the post. ROCK ON LOL
i love it! i remember when my kitchen table was my studio!! so awesome to see….and all for such an amazing cause!
Can’t wait to hear the news!!!
It looks like you are having fun and that’s GREAT!
The headband is super cute! Wish I had enough hair to wear one.
Your jewelry shop looks like quite a bit of fun!
I LOVE the Mercy Bands and I’m so sad that I’m not going to be able to go to Relevant 10. Any chances that you might have some for sale for those of us who aren’t able to go?? 
AWESOME!! and looks like your house is a lot of fun
Love it!
Love seeing all of those helping hands around your table! If I lived closer, I’d be there too! Can’t wait to see you at Relevant!
I’ll be buying a headband at Relevant! I can’t wait to meet you in person and thank you for being so real on your blog!
I’m excited to hear your news!
I think your unlikely jewelry shop is just perfect!
Can’t wait to see you and all of the products at Relevant! EEEK 6 days!
I absolutely love having another Christian woman to follow in the blog world! and I love the jewelry!
Awesome!!!~
hmm…my guess would be it’s getting featured somewhere prominent? But really I have no idea! Can’t wait to hear
It’s going to be specially highlighted on Etsy’s front page???
Oh, how I love the necklaces. My guess is that you’ll be in an Etsy Treasury?
I’m liking your jewelry. It’s beautiful hanging in the window with the light shining through. I guess that your jewelry is going to be manufactured someday, maybe soon, may be later. The headband is adorable.
So cool!!! You are an inspiration.
can’t wait to hear the news!! Would love to win a the mercy band!
That is so great! What a awesome way to spend time with friends and family!!
Did someone offer to donate all your supplies??? (my guess)
Love the headband, maybe someone is donating the supplies so that you guys can keep all profits for the Mercy House.
if I lived closer I would be there at your table.
love all of this!
i love hand stamping!
You got a corporate sponsor?
(we pray for BIG things, right?!)
I have a guess… can’t wait to see if I’m right!
First guess, DaySpring is going to start selling/marketing your necklaces
Oh.my.gosh. I received my news my beautiful necklace today. It is GORGEOUS. Thank you so much!!
My guess is? You’re pregnant with quintuplets.
: P: 
That photo of you laughing is wonderful!
26 comments and only 9 guesses? I hope that means only 9 others in the drawing so far! My GUESS is that MERCY HOUSE IS FULLY FUNDED!!! I pray I am right, although if Dayspring (or any other sponsor) would feature you and/or fund your project(s), then GREAT!!
I’m guessing that Dayspring is going to sell them. Or the inCourage shop.
I LOVE these and the work that you and your family and friends are doing for these precious ladies!! I so wish that I lived close enough to come and help!!! I hope the big news is that MERCY HOUSE is fully funded too!! God Bless You and your vision!!
Those bands are ADORABLE!!!
Hey, how about a girls’ night out beading party?!?!
Love your jewelry and those bands! Very cute!!!
My guess is that the jewelry making/selling is going very well and is able to fund The Mercy House. You have to share soon…the suspense is rough!
My guess is that you’re going to Africa. Although it’d be awesome (and crazy) if that quintuplets guess is right!
My guess is the same as many you guys are heading to Africa!
I know, I know:) … And man you have some good guessers!!!:) Can’t wait for the next bead party! Your family brings out the crafty in me!
Guessing you are another step closer to bringing Bethie home…
Still waiting for the news, I am sure it is big:)
