3 Gifts Prepared - 30DaysThankful - 26

 

Preparing for music is tough sometime. But I'm always glad when we can put in the time to prepare for a performance.

 

There's not much that can prepare me for waking up to skies this color... :^)

 

I'm always excited to procure new craft supplies and know I'm prepared for a new order.

3 Gifts Ugly Beautiful - 30DaysThankful - 25

 

#1 - Stormy Skies.

 

#2 - That time you went and finally got to meet the 'famous' authors/speakers and get your picture with them and you forgot you left the camera on manual focus when you were trying something artsy-fartsy the night before [that didn't even work, just sayin'].

 

#3 - Arguments. Disagreements. Misunderstandings. Failings. Disappointments.

 

God uses it all.

 

Being used with you,

Kerry

These three make me humble...

 

3 Gifts Only In Christ - 30DaysThankful - 23

 

Only in Christ do we have the gift of knowing that no matter how cloudy and stormy the skies of life may get, we are secure in the One who commands the clouds, the Voice that even the winds and waves obey.

 

Only in Christ are the sins that try to clog the true Light of our life banished. They are swept away, to reveal the glorious life beyond past failings, living in the light of peace and joy.

 

Only in Christ can we find True peace, True calm, True Joy and lasting contentment.

 

Seeking Him with you,

Kerry

A Gift Grateful - 30DaysThankful - 22

 

I'm grateful for the gift of travel. And all the opportunities to travel to awesome places this year. With even awesomer people. 

Valentine

Yes, you read that right. Valentine. I set this as a draft one day when the pictures weren't cooperating and then completely forgot about it! Oh well, here it is now. My Valentines day project! A 'lovely' heart shaped pine cone wreath with a "Love" banner made from washi tape! Enjoy!

 

Happy Monday!

Kerry

Dear Knitting, How I've Missed You!

I've been so busy this summer with school and a new job [not to mention Etsy, family, friends; but you know how that is] that I haven't had much time for making much of anything. Just whipping out a little bag here and there, and making a pair of feed bag shorts [inside joke; will clue you in later if your interested!]. But I have not had time to sit and enjoy the process of 'knit one purl one' and watch with wonder as 'something' emerges.

I recently bought a pattern for button down fingerless mitts from knitter, designer and fellow Etsyian, Lynette McPherson, of Fern Wood Wool Works. The pattern has been fun; not quite a beginners pattern, but no doubt easily understood and well explained. She also designs knit socks, leg warmers and even baby mitts and leg warmers!

All I have left to do for this right hand mitt is pick out some buttons to sew on, weave in the loose ends and ...

... finish the ribbing on the thumb.

Then, on the the left mitt! I can't wait to get started and have these this fall and winter to keep my hands cozy at the drafty feed store I work at. I'll post photos of the completed pair when I have had time to finish them. Thanks Lynette, for the beautiful design!

Have a terrific Tuesday.

Kerry
