the first peonie to open!
here is the updated picture of the
XS project. Not much got done this
week. I was more interested in
knitting hats!
Here is one of them!
Just using up some scraps.
This service that you perform
is not only supplying the needs of God's people
but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
2 Cor. 9:12

Bernat Galaxy

This yarn is kind of hard to work with because of
all the 'bumps', but it does make for some
cute looking hats!

This yarn is so beautiful and fun to work with!
Not real sure how warm it will be, but it is
certainly bright and colorful!
And God is able to make all grace abound to you,
so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.

anything for Jesus,
but of being a perfect delight
to Him.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.

this little guy was out enjoying an evening
stroll at the same time I was!
Update on the XS.
I will try to give weekly updates on this project.
Just because that will help keep me motivated to work
on it! It has been put to the side the last three
days. But I just HAD to do some knitting!!
Time to get busy on this again!
Therefore, we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Cor. 4:16

a wasp on the peonie bud.
Mitered Square Afghan.
Most of it is worked with 1 strand of Bernat Softee
in white and 1 strand Lang Yarns Bebe Color Superwash.
Finished size is 36X36.
This started out as my 'grab & go' project nearly 2 yrs ago.
I finally decided that it just needed to be finished and a new
project started for my 'ready to go' bag!
Now the Lord is the Spirit,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom.

and the power of sin is the law.

wild geranium
I had a bit of unexpected free time early this morning.
Of course I used it to work on the XS project!
But, as I was working, this little fellow scampered past the house.
Then he saw the cats! And took off up the tree!
Do not be misled:
'Bad company corrupts good character'

Columbine
My daughter brought this to me yesterday.
She has knitted this wonderful basketweave piece,
and asked me to do something with it to make
it large enough for a baby blanket.
Of course I said I'd love to!
But it will have to be put on hold for just a little
while until I finish my own current projects!
But I have some great ideas of what to do
with it!
When we are judged by the Lord,
we are being disciplined
so that we will not be condemned with the world.
1 Cor. 11:32

A beautiful weed!
This is the progress I have made so far on the
counted cross stitch project that I have been asked to do.
For those of you who check my blog regularly for charity knitting,
I may not have a daily hat to show for a little while.
I have a commitment to do this XS picture.
I also have a knitted child's afghan (for charity) on the needles
that I am working on. So for the time being, 'large' projects
are taking up my time instead of so many 'smaller' items!
Nobody should seek his own good,
but the good of others.
1 Cor. 10:24

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.
And God is faithful;
He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
But when you are tempted,
He will also provide a way out
so that you can stand up under it.
1 Cor. 10:24

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Hate what is evil;
cling to what is good.

Honor one another above yourselves.

My daughter and I have finished our Central Park Hoodies!!
I am so very proud of her! She just learned to knit last summer
and this is her first sweater! She did an amazing job! I have admired this
pattern for a quite a while and was thrilled when she asked me to do
it with her!
Her's is worked with RedHeart Fiesta and mine is worked with
RedHeart SuperSaver.
We started these sweaters months ago, but we both kept getting
side-tracked with our charity knitting projects!
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-
His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

The lilacs are in full bloom!
The requested baby set is finished!
This set is exactly like the one I did a couple months ago:
logcabin style blanket-36X38, a raglan, top-down sweater,
a hat and a pair of booties.
This set was worked with RedHeart Super Saver
in Baby Print.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him,
so that you may overflow
with hope by the power or the Holy Spirit.

hat worked on the loom
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of sonship.
And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

Those who live according to the sinful nature
have their minds set on what that nature desires;
but those who live in accordance with the Spirit
have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

This beautiful, tiny little flower is an invasive weed.
I hate to say it stinks, but it does have it's own odor!
hat worked on the loom.
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law,
but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Therefore, there is now now condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus
the law of the Spirit
of life set me free
from the law of sin and death.
Romans 7:25-8:2
