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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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 who pass judgment on someone else,
for at whatever point you judge the other,
you are condemning yourself,
because you who pass judgment do the same things.
