Thank God
Gabriel was born last night at 10:42 PM. I labored for most of the day, hopeful that it wasn't a false alarm. He wasn't born until the children were all tucked in bed asleep and Miss Moppet had finally conked out. What a considerate baby. He was born in the sac and I haven't yet … Continue reading Thank God
Yarn Along: Shroud for Gabriel
As most of you know, when I lost Innocent and Andrew I made blankets for them. I make blankets for all of my babies and it doesn't matter whether they're living or departed. Because Gabriel will be two weeks smaller and thus that much more fragile, I felt he needed to be (for the most … Continue reading Yarn Along: Shroud for Gabriel
Organizing the Hooks and Needles
I have needed to do something to organize and contain my various crochet hooks and knitting needles for some time. Remember my old case? I repurposed a cervical dilator kit to make it. It wasn't too bad when I was only crocheting, but then I took up knitting too, and got a lot of … Continue reading Organizing the Hooks and Needles

Sigh. I'm not one of THOSE bloggers. You know, the ones people speak of in hushed and reverent voices. The elite, set-apart crowd who eventually get publishing gigs. I don't go through life having the ability to pull together a painting, a photo of a flower, a conversation with a neighbor, a psalm verse and … Continue reading One of "those" bloggers

If we can't put forth the effort to overcome temptations to small things, how do we think we … Continue reading When the rubber hits the road
Throw-back Thursday
I don't have many words today. Just getting by one day at a time. I'm slowly working on some knitting projects and think I can finish the coat today, getting it mailed today or tomorrow. I still don't have any signs of impending labor; praying that it starts before too long. Thank you for all … Continue reading Throw-back Thursday
Yarn Along: Baby Coat
The baby coat is almost done. I have to block it then sew on the buttons. I hope to be able to mail it tomorrow or Friday. (The recipients don't read the blog so I'm not spoiling any surprises.) For the purpose of the photographs I just placed the buttons in their approximate positions. Ravelry … Continue reading Yarn Along: Baby Coat
You know you’re jealous…
How many of you have a front door key like this? We're really excited to have it! We've been here over four years and Father just found it in one of the sacristies. He brought it home to try it and it fits! 🙂
