great design, not so great colour!

This card didn't come out like I hoped.

I don't like the colour of the card stock.

But it's still a great design.

maybe I'll make it again in a different card stock.

I took Lili to the vet yesterday and she

lost her balance and grabbed my arm

-with her beak, naturally, since she doesn't

have arms. She got me good, unfortunately.

It's really sore and might be infected.

 

Isaiah 40:31

but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

Happy Tuesday!

Graduation day!

My grandson, Ethan, is now a graduate of Waldron

high school. I'm so proud of him! Here's pictures

of him, then him, Nathan, and Crystal.

He's a good looking kid if I don't say so myself!

As soon as I get the go-ahead from the physical

therapist and my doctor (who already gave me

his permission and will look at me funny if

I ask him again) I can be put back on the schedule

in June!  Yay!

Lili is going to the vet today and will be an

unhappy camper, but hey, she will be much easier

to handle without feeling like I'm holding a

handful of needles!

1 Peter 4:10

Each of you should use whatever gift

you have received to serve others,

as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 

 

I have a list of verses I like and just go down

the list one by one. I'm pretty sure God is

out to get me the last two days, LOL!

Happy Monday!

One sheet wonder

This one sheet of paper was supposed to make

six cards. One of them completely disappeared.

Maybe I accidentally threw it away or something.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find it, but

five cards is good, too. A couple of them don't

look quite right and I might have to tweak

them, but overall, I like how they came out.

 

 I think the ones at the top right and left need

a butterfly or something.  They look too plain.  So

I'll probably work on that.

Today is my grandson, Ethan's, graduation!  I

can't believe he is old enough to graduate 

already!  They grow so quickly.  And I get

older and older....

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body,

I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave himself for me.

Happy Sunday!

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body,

I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave himself for me.

Happy Sunday!

Mushroom faerie

I love how this came out! So pretty!

I found this mushroom pattern a while

back but wasn't sure what to do with it.  Then

I remembered the faerie pictures so I went through

them and wouldn't you know, I had one with a

mushroom!  Just adorable!

It's a bit chilly out this morning, but I think

it's supposed to warm up.  We had quite a 

rain last night, but no thunder  or lightening.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a storm again.

Naturally.  My grandson, Ethan, is graduating.

 

Romans 12:2

Do not conform 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.

Happy Saturday!

purple on purple

I was super happy with how this turned out.

I love the stitching pattern. Now that I

can stitch again, I'm finishing up some of

the patterns that I had ordered before I

had my surgery. I also have some really

great images that I can use with other patterns.

What I'd like to do is combine patterns

into new, different patterns. This is not

one of those!

We had an awesome thunderstorm last night!

It lasted almost two hours when all was said

and done.  I love the thunder, but one thunder

clap was so loud it made me jump and even

B'Elanna jumped up from her nap!

Romans 10:8-9

But what does it say? “The word is near you

in your mouth and in your heart”

(that is, the word of faith which we preach):

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus

and believe in your heart that God has raised Him

from the dead, you will be saved.

Happy Friday!!

New fun fold

This is such an easy peasy fold that I'll

probably do more-not to mention I love

how it turned out! I didn't take a picture of

the inside, but the top folds up and the bottom

forms a pocket. There is a card inside that

can be removed and a message can be

written there, or stamped or whatever.

I went to the store yesterday and saw a

snow cone machine. This one you press

the top and it spins it and crushes the

ice. I had one when I was a kid that was

a snowman and it had a hollow belly

that was like a grater. You had to turn

the handle and it would crush the ice as

it came through. It was so much fun. Of

course, the handle turning stuff doesn't

do much for me now. But this is so much fun

and you can even get the cones-which I won't

use again because they are a pain in the rear.

I'll just put it in a glass. I got cotton candy

flavouring because there was only about

three and I didn't like the others. It's a

nice refreshing snack.

 

Isaiah 55:6

Seek the Lord while he may be found;
    call on him while he is near.

Happy Thursday!

Bluebirds

I'm not happy with how this photographed,

but I couldn't get it to photograph right with

the flash so I had to take it off. The card is

actually purple, but it looks pretty washed

out in the picture. Other than that, I like it.

I love the stitching pattern!

I went to the Dr. yesterday and got a clean

bill of health.  That's always good to hear. 

He was impressed with my range of motion.

I've been working really hard at it.

John 16:33

“I have told you these things,

so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Happy Wednesday!
