Snow storm coming

It looks like I will have plenty of time to

work on cards for the next couple of

days. They are predicting appx 4-7”

between tonight and tomorrow night.

I can't tell you how much I'm NOT

looking forward to it. Here is the

third of the four Asian card set.

And there are the infernal birds.  Those are

so difficult!  They don't look difficult...

 I'm happy to report that B'Elanna is

back to herself, no sniffles or wheezing.

She's gotten me through some rough

times and I want only the best for her.

Lili, too, but it's hard to cuddle a

bird. Unless its a cockatoo. They are

called the “velcro bird” LOL. They

love to be petted and cuddled. They

also have lots of powder on their feathers

that you breathe in. And they are loud.

VERY LOUD!!!!!

 

Thessalonians 5:15

 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone,

but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Happy Friday!

Tranquil bridge

I could swear I've posted this one before, and

if I have, sorry. It's one of my favourites

and doesn't have the birds in it. I hate those

birds. When you look at it after the holes

are poked it is just a series of holes that make

no sense whatsoever. I always have trouble

stitching them. At least with most of the

patterns you can see the actual pattern in

the holes, but not the little birds!

 B'Elanna has been feeling a little under the weather

so I snapped this photo of her curled up under

the covers on the bed. I took her to the vet

and she just has a small cold, lungs clear, 

etc.  She's taking antibiotics for a week just

in case as she was wheezing yesterday.

James 1:5

 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all liberally and without reproach,

and it will be given to him. 

 

Happy Thursday

Asian inspired

Now for some Asian inspired designs. I do NOT

think these “things” on the bridge look like people

but that's what they are supposed to be. I love

the rest of the design, though.

 

I think they look much better in all one colour

so they rest of them will be that way too.  The same

way with the gardenscape cards.  Some just

look better in all one colour. 

 I am hearing bad weather reports. I

really wish these weather people would

stop using swear words on air. Hasn't

anyone told them that “snow” is a four

letter word? So for the weekend they

are predicting anywhere from 1-3 to 5-8

inches of snow depending on which channel

you are watching at the time. I have a

feeling that I'm not going to be able to

go to church Sunday...

Jeremiah 17:7

 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.

Happy Wednesday!

 

Last but not least

I had some trouble uploading pictures today

for some reason. This is probably my

favourite of the six except for one thing:

when I was about halfway done I noticed

that the card stock had some flaws in it

(the two dots in the center). Well, there

was no way I was starting again, LOL.

So don't look-now that I've pointed it

out to you!

The morning is not starting out well.  I woke at

3 am, finally got up at 4 am and now I'm tired

and the day has barely begun.  At least I have

lunch with Dianne to look forward to.  I'm

also going to see my mom, too, and take her

some banana bread I made.  It's got to

be better than what they feed her.  

Psalm 55:22

 Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Happy Thursday!

Where does the door lead?

I don't know where the door leads, but I love

this pattern. It was quick and easy and so

pretty.

I thought the snow was going to be a lot worse

than it was.  We got about an inch and half

and Auburn maybe a little more.  Most of

it went south and that was OK with me.  The

roads were nice and clear so I didn't have   any

trouble getting to church.

Isaiah 55:6-7

 Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
 Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

Happy Monday!

I heard it was cancelled, so you can all

go back to bed!

It could have been worse

We got about an inch and half of snow

yesterday. I could probably plow through

it with the car, but I am going to go out

and try to convince my snowblower

to start. Other people got a lot worse

from winter storm Gia, though, so I

am trying not to complain.

  Here is the fourth card of the gardenscape

series. I love how these are turning out!

And now I have to go get rid of snow.

But first...

Ephesians 3:17-18

 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;

that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

 may be able to comprehend with all the saints

what is the width and length and depth and height—

Happy Sunday!

Parked bicycle

I love this bicycle one, but I had to start

over again when I realised it would be

much easier to stitch the inside of the

wheels first instead of the mudflap. At

least I wasn't too far into it. I would have

taken the stitches out but it was more

trouble than it was worth to do that.

My son, Nathan, and his wife Crystal,

were going to come all the way from Grand

Rapids, MI to church tomorrow, but

because of the dicey weather predicted

we are going to postpone it until next

weekend. I'm bummed, but I think it's

the better decision. I'm really excited that

they want to come!

 

Samuel 16:7

 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance

or at his physical stature, because I have refused him.

For the Lord does not see as man sees;

for man looks at the outward appearance,

but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Happy Saturday!
