Sweater Finished!

I finished the sweater tonight!  I decided to add some color by using the flower buttons.  Buttons can make all the difference to a garment.  I hope the little one's mommy enjoys it! 

I think the next time I make one, I will not make so many buttonholes. I think two or three at the top might be enough.  What do you think?

Next time, I think I'll make it lacy too.  That might be fun, again, what do you think? 

It is fun to be creative and make these little sweaters.  I am toying with the idea of putting them in an Etsy shop.  Hope your evening is restful!  Good night!  Guten Nacht!

Pray for the Crisis in the World

While the rest of the world freezes, we here in Southern Arizona enjoyed an overcast mild day.  I imagine that those who are deep in snow would welcome an overcast day with no snow.  I have often wished I lived in a climate that had four seasons.  Do you ever wish you were someplace else? Why are humans so contrary and difficult to please.  It must be our sin nature wanting what we cannot have. My focus has been off a bit today. I watched the news about the trouble in the Ukraine.  I can't imagine  how difficult it must be for them.  The world appears headed for crisis.  Russia invades Ukraine,ISSIS takes over Iraq and torments people, and our American government seems to be so out of touch.  What can I do?  I can pray for the people of Ukraine and the Christians and Jews who are being persecuted for their faith. If leaders do not stand up against the evil, then my safe little corner of the world may not stay safe for long.

Resolutions

                               We make all kinds  of  resolutions at this time of year.  We plan on losing weight; we plan to exercise more; we even  plan to read our Bibles more, and yet statistics show that no matter how motivated we may be, only 8% of  us will keep the resolutions we make.  Only two out of  ten people  will actually follow through.  Yet the beginning of a new year brings a time for reflection.  We may look in the mirror and decide yes, we  do need to loose weight, or exercise.  We all should read  and  study our Bibles more and pray more.  Yet simply  put, we are sinners  and  we  fail, so what can we do? First, resolutions  are not wishes. We can hope that we make it through the light before it turns red.  We hope that someday  we can buy that new car.  A resolution i...

It's All a Matter of Perspective

Wow, it has been nearly a year since my last post, I think.  I am amazed to find a few of you have come to this blog to read it, and sorry to disappoint you by not having anything new to give you.  I have gone through a series of trials since that time and will share some of them down the road a bit. There is an old movie that I love called An Apartment for Peggy.  It stars William Holden and Jeanne Crain.  There are many good lessons learned in this movie without it being preachy, and it is done with humor.  One of the things I remember most is the character Peggy tries to reassure her husband that life in the attic of this house that belongs to a professor is only temporary and she is quite happy there.  She asks her husband for a fifty cent piece and she has him hold close to his face and she asks him what he sees.  He tells her he just sees the fifty cent piece.  Then she tells him to hold it farther out and so he extends his arm and sh...
