damp daff



My newest, requested project!
It's been a while since I have tackled a large
counted cross-stitch picture! But I have been
asked to do this, and I am really looking forward to it!
However, I must finish the knitted baby set first!


Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him
Romans 4:7-8 (Ps. 32:1-2)

Morning coffee.


my daughter gave me this yarn that she bought
at a garage sale last summer!
THANK YOU, CHRISTINA!
This will make some wonderful hats
on the looms!!

The righteousness from God
comes through faith in Jesus Christ
to all who believe.

There is no difference,
for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,

and are justified freely
by His grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:22-24

I got to sit outside and do some knitting yesterday!
I love summer!



then I had to put it down so I could go in and
make supper!
Maybe tonight we will have supper on the grill and
I can stay outside!


For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight,
but those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

I have been asked to knit another baby set.
Just like the set I did a couple months ago.
However, I couldn't find the same yarn.
So this is what I got for this set.
It's not the same at all, but it is very lovely!

God "will give to each person according to what he has done"
so those who by persistence in doing good
seek glory, honor and immorality,

He will give eternal life.
But for those who are self-seeking
and who reject the truth and follow evil,

there will be wrath and anger.
Romans 2:6-8

you are condemning yourself,
