Stories come to life in all kinds of ways & yesterday when my sweet middlest boy had a birthday we celebrated Harold the bunny style just for him. The stories I’ve been writing were first inspired by him and watching him live them out in his own way, all dressed up like the little bunny boy I wrote was just the sweetest thing. Fill your pockets with all the good things, friends. All the things that make you come alive. ❤️🌲🐰 #haroldthebunnystories

Making + finding real life versions of things from the stories I’ve been writing has already become its own hobby and I might have just spent the whole morning at it. ✏️📕🐰 #haroldthebunnystories #katielewiswrites

The great irony, of course, is that, as my Instagram feed starts looking more shabby and scatterbrained, my personal work itself is gaining momentum and focus. These little squares, these windows into my personal endeavors, are so important for sharing and connecting, but they are not the work. The work is done inside the house, the heart. Which is all a very long-ish way of saying that today’s creative work was nothing show-worthy, but a small and important step nonetheless. ❤️ #katielewiswrites

Today’s creative project was finally committing to the placement for the next layer on this first block for my #planofsalvationquilt and starting to stitch it in place. This project means so much to me on so many levels and because of that I want to get it all just right. But as I’ve come back to remembering that it’s His plan that’s perfect, not necessarily my quilting work (which will change and improve over time), I’ve felt encouraged to keep moving forward. And if that’s not a metaphor for how we move through His plan every day of our lives then I don’t know what is. Keep going. ❤️ || Block 1 — The Council In Heaven (in progress) #katielewisquilts #katielewismakes #katielewisdailyshare

I’ve been reading “Big Dreams, Daily Joys” by @elisejoy & honestly loving every page. Yesterday I read the bit where she talks about what to do when you have too many/zero ideas & one of the things that resonated with me was to take a notebook & write an idea on each page, then expound on it. (I’m paraphrasing a lot, it’s better in the book.) Anyway, I’ve been dragging my feet & totally lacking solid direction on a children’s book I’ve been working for months, so for today’s creative project I sat down & wrote out chapter headings on these little notecards & added details on the back. It was so unimpressively easy, but also SO helpful. I’ve been mulling it all over for months & months and now after maybe 20 min of jotting down ideas I feel like I finally have a clear direction. Also excited about the fact that I can move the notecards around to put chapters in a preliminary working order. Also excited that it turns out I do, in fact, still have ideas. 🐰❤️📝 #katielewiswrites #haroldthebunnystories

Yesterday I learned how to make mini zines & today I made this one! 📓 It was so fast & easy & fun. (If you want to learn, just google “how to fold a mini zine. It’s super simple.) ✏️ I made copies of the original on our printer & then I had fun filling this one out for myself. I love that these little mini zines are so easy to make & so cheap to share! If you see me this week expect me to hand you one. 😜✌🏻 (Swipe all the way through to see how it’s all made from a single sheet of paper. 👉🏻) #katielewismakes
