Our sweaters!
My daughter and I are knitting the Central Park Hoodie together as a KAL.
I am using the RedHeart Super Saver in maroon that started out as the first
Honey Sweater. She is using the RedHeart Fiesta in meadow colorway.
This is such a fun pattern and I am loving that we are doing it together!


If you remain in Me and My words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

the Redwinged Blackbirds are back
and found the feeder!


I finally got my cotton squares together!
I used just whatever cotton yarn I had on hand.
#9 circular needles.
The squares seemed to take forever to do,
but it was well worth it when it all came together!

so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.

A houseplant that my daughter gave to me several years ago.
It was blooming at the time. After it died off, I kept it in the house and
continued to water it for another year, hoping it would come back.
But it never did. So it went out to the shed.
Last fall, when I was doing some cleaning out of the shed, I was getting
ready to just throw it away when I noticed that the bulb was still green.
So I brought it back in the house, watered it and kind of left it alone for awhile.
Now look what is happening!

"I have come into the world as a light,
so that no one who beleives in Me should stay in darkness."

Then you will know the truth,

I had the great pleasure to meet a 'new' friend yesterday!
You know, an internet friend that you get to finally meet in person!
And, as I have heard about many internet friendships, when first meeting
in person, it is as though you have been friends forever!
She brought gifts!
THANK YOU, CHRIS!!
