Golden hearts

I found this pattern and thought it would

make a really pretty valentine. I'm kind of

disappointed, though, that the gold didn't

show up better. Next time I should not use

such a dark background, I guess.

It looks kind of goofy.

My internet has been sluggish the last two

days.  Yesterday  I finally gave up.  It was in and

out during the cold weather which was annoying,

but cold weather messes everything up, I guess.

My newest diamond painting:

From now on I'm going to make sure they are 

not square.It's not easy to find a square frame.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one,
    because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
    one can help the other up.

Happy Sunday!

Thawing out, finally

The last few days have been rough. I moved

Lili's cage into the house because the bird

room wouldn't stay warm enough in these

temps. I think she likes it there and I would

leave it except I get up in the night and it

disturbs her. So I'll be putting things back

to normal later today.

Here is the other card that I wouldn't have

anyone to send it to, LOL

It's a cute card, though.  These are three puzzle

pieces I made for a swap.  I had a hard time

deciding what to do and then they just

happened.  I love it when that happens.

Today is my mom's birthday. It's sad. I'm not

sure she will even know.

Jeremiah 29:11

 For I know the plans I have for you,”

declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

Happy Friday!

Going a-flutter

This card and one other are two cards that I

don't have a clue to send them to, LOL.

I mean, there isn't anyone in my life (and I

plan to keep it that way) that causes my

heart to go a-flutter. But the card is cute!

B'Elanna was feeling a little off last night

and I was a little worried, but she seems fine

today.  It ended up keeping both of us up

until 3 am.  It's very cold today, but the

 furnace is keeping up at 68 so far.  I'm sleeping

in the spare room tonight as it will be warmer.

I brought Lili's cage in from the bird room

because that room will not stay warm enough.

Also, closing off the door will give the heater

less to contend with.  I'll be so glad when the

polar vortex goes back to the North pole where

it belongs!!

 

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel,

because it is the power of God that brings salvation

to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Happy Wednesday!

buzzing little bees

On to the Valentine cards! These little

bees are so darned cute! After I made the

little bee girl I realised that I had a bee

die that I could have used to make some bees

buzzing around her, so maybe I'll make that

again sometime, but these little guys are

special Valentine bees!

I didn't get out and measure, but we got between

4-5 inches of snow yesterday.  And about a half

inch last night.  I'm glad my snowblower is

working again.  Now comes the terrible cold.  I

am quite sure that I have never experienced anything 

below maybe -5 degrees so this will be scary.  I'm

not looking forward to it.

I finished my unicorn! 

It's very sparkly in real life but I couldn't

get that in a picture.

 

Matthew 18:20

 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Happy Tuesday!

Kimono time

You knew it was coming, right? Here is the

last of the Asian cards, a kimono. I have

a really beautiful kimono that my friend,

Karen's husband, Skip, brought me from

Japan years ago. Much prettier than this old thing:

This is my diamond painting so far.

I'm closer to finishing it now. I don't know if I'll

be able to find a frame, though, since it's square.

 

 Isn't it cool? 

It's snowing and blowing like crazy!  I'm

glad Larry was able to get my snowblower

going, but there's little point in the blowing snow.

Isaiah 54:10

 Though the mountains be shaken
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Happy Monday!

do you need light?

I don't know how much light this lantern

will actually give you, but it sure is pretty!

It has been snowing since last night.  We have

about three inches and I heard we are supposed

to have 6 inches, possibly.  I'm holding out that

it will quit.    I can't wait until summer!  Fingers

crossed that I can drive out because I don't

feel like shoveling.  It's fluffy snow again, but

I still don't want to do it.

Galatians 6:2

 Carry each other’s burdens,

and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Happy (snowy) Sunday!

Asian fan number two

The is the second style of Asian fan. I think

I like it better than the first one.

I spent a great deal of time yesterday working

on my diamond painting. It is so pretty and

sparkly. It's also quite addicting and I already

want to buy more. If you don't get a huge one

they really aren't much money. I like small

fiddly things-like the stitching and rubber

band bracelets so this is right up my alley!

 

Galatians 5:14

 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Happy Saturday!
