I had to make up some time with my OHW (one hour wonder) sweater yesterday. And look, I got a sleeve done!

The Lord redeems His servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him.
Ps. 34:22

Hubby needed a new hat.
Used two strands together. One of WW weight and one Lion Brand TLC Amore.


A geranium from last summer.


If you are not getting insight into God's Word, then start praying for your friends.

Yesterday we had a few of these 'snow squall's! In between them was bright blue sky and lots of fabulous sunshine! Crazy! But we are expecting them again today and tomorrow.


Hat and mitten set knitted with Lion Brand Jiffy yarn. It is a heavier weight, mohair type acrylic yarn. Oh so soft and fluffy! I really enjoyed making this set!


How great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You, which You bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in You.
Ps. 31:19

Just watching the birds!


A knitted hat (with cables!!) and a loomed hat.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself because you who pass judgement do the same things.
Ro. 2:1

A hat and mitten set. I just love working with bright orange! So happy and cheery!


Look what the snow plow did to our mailbox yesterday! What a bummer! Now it will be daily trips to the post office for awhile. Good thing the post office is so close! This time, we will need to buy a whole new box. I am sad. I really liked this one.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged. And with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Matt. 7:1-2

Knitted mittens.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Ps. 19:1

Hats worked on the loom. As you can probably figure out, I've been on the bike more again the last couple of days!
I'll be working on mittens today I think.


Woke up to more snow this morning. It was so beautiful and peaceful when I went out this morning. But it didn't take long for the wind to pick up.

Jesus is not just beginning to save us-He has already saved us completely. It is an accomlished fact....the continual inner-searching we do in an effort to see if we are what we ought to be generates a self-centered, sickly type of Christianity, not the vigorous and simple life of a child of God. Until we get into this right and proper relationship with God, it is simply a case of our "hanging on by the skin of our teeth," although we say, "what a wonderful victory I have!"

Natalie's sweater.
I am so happy with the way it came out! Every sweater I do seems to be a bit more challenging than the one before. So every time I say 'this is the most challenging thing I've ever done'. I really mean it!


Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.
Ps. 25:4-5

We woke up to some snow this morning! Here is our 'sparrow tree'!!
Actually, it is just the trumpet vine. A good place for the birds to hang out when the cats get too close to the feeder!


Baby hats made on the loom.

The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!
Ps. 18:46

Here is a progress report on Natalie's sweater. I am finished with the back and each of the front panels. I am SO happy with the cables! I think I can honestly say that these are my favorite looking cables. I know that I am putting cables on the sweater that I am making for myself, but I like the looks of these cables so much better! Just wait, I will probably be putting cables on everything now!


And this is our weather today. Dark, gray, chilly.
Guess that means I'll just have to knit!!

The Lord confides in those who fear Him;
He makes His covenant known to them.
Ps. 25:14

Hats worked on the loom while riding bike!


A honeysuckle from this past summer.

Salvation is easy for us, because it cost God so much. But the exhibiting of salvation in my life is difficult.
(O. Chambers)

I have been asked to knit a sweater for my second cousin. This is the pattern I have decided on. It is from WorkBasket magazine Aug. 1972.


And here is the yarn I will be using!

He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Ps. 18:19

Another wonderful, generous yarn donation! From my Aunt! And this is so perfect because green was a color that I really didn't have alot of! This will make so many wonderful hats and mittens!!
THANK YOU, KATIE!!


A sweater update. I finished the front yesterday. Today I have to do the ribbing on the first sleeve. (I need the needles for another project!) I am doing real well with my 'one hour each day'. Well, ok, if I'm going to be totally honest, I'm not really doing all that great! I don't work on it for a day or so, but then I do make up the time all in one day! And look what is happening!! I'm really getting it done!! And the cables are inspiring me to make more cables on more things!


For the word of God is living and active... it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Heb. 4:12-13

Hats.


This hawk landed in the tree and sat there just checking things out the entire time Hubby and I were at the table eating supper last night!

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.
Ps. 18:30

I spent the entire day yesterday playing with some cables.
LOL! Ok, I'm still laughing at my HUGE 'oops'! So I guess I will confess. After spending about 5 hrs just on mittens, I realized I had two right handed mittens!!! LOLOL!!! So I had to go back and make a leftie!
But, at the end of the day, here is what I had! (oh, yeah, and an extra righty!)


We got just a bit of snow yesterday. This morning the cardinal showed up! I am so excited! I haven't seen him in months!


If I do my duty, not for duty's sake but because I believe God is engineering my circumstances, then at the very point of my obedience all the magnificent grace of God is mine through the glorious atonement by the Cross of Christ.
O. Chambers

Another hat and mitten set.


Butterfly on a mallow this past summer.

Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Prov. 19:21

Knitted slippers using cotton yarn.


Our Blue Jay showed up this morning for breakfast! It was good to see him again.


Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family.
Heb. 2:11

My geranium is in full bloom in the house right now. And probably will be until I take it back outside for the summer.

My parents had planted 3 of these in their garden. A year and a half ago in the fall, my dad dug them each up and put them in pots to take in the house. There was a red one, a pink one and a white one. When he brought them in, he cut them all back and forgot to mark which one was what color. So when he asked if I wanted one, I had no idea what color I was getting. I'm awful glad I got the white one! To be honest, it was in the largest pot and they didn't want it sitting around their place! Last summer I set it out on the back deck and pretty much forgot about it. Too much other stuff going on. This fall when I brought it in, I gave it just a bit of TLC and here it is in all it's glory!! It stinks and makes a mess on the floor, but I sure do enjoy this plant!

A man's wisdom gives him patience,
it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
Prov. 19:11

Knitted child's mittens.


Kalanchoe beginning to bloom.

...the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone He wishes.
Dan. 5:21

The last of the baby hats for a while. Only because I was told that the hospital has enough on hand for the next month or so. That's ok with me. I have plenty of other things to keep me busy!!

This week, well ok, most all the time!, this is my favorite past time: eating and knitting!!!! LOL!

For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Col. 1: 13-14
