Just finished another shawl, the last one was a gift for a friend...this one might just be for me :)

the main color is called plaid blanket, and the contrast is a mix with blue 

the pattern is simple, yet elegant, and worked up quickly

and is versatile as well!  May you  have a lovely time working on your projects too!  and thank you for coming by and leaving a comment - they make me smile :)

He makes my hands and fingers to handiwork, all glory and honor to God ~ in Jesus Christ
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. 
ephesians 3:21-22

Cool Chèche

A Cool (summer weather, cool cotton/rayon) Shawl I crafted over the past two weeks!  It is a lovely pattern, easy to follow, available in the original French, and also an English translation.  The links may be found here on ravelry .

Big thank you to Katia64 for designing and sharing the pattern.

info on my version of the shawl is on ravelry as well

I was able to see someone very very special this week, that we had not seen for 12 years - I am so thankful to Almighty God for this wonderful blessing.  My heart is filled with love and joy, and though I miss this person so very terribly, these afflictions are so temporary, eternity is forever - which is why knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is more than a life or death question, it is a decision about where you have chosen to spend eternity....with Christ?...or with God's wrath....for eternity.

Please choose life in Christ! He and He alone paid for all your, my, the world's sins - 

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 john 5:11-13

Unique ~ the designer's hands

Faux Lapis Lazuli Trapezium Pendant by Laura Torster, LauraBijoux

Unique...made unique by the designer, Laura Torster of Laura Bijoux

This beautiful, unique piece is created by cutting and chopping shades of blue and transparent polymer clay, with small flecks of gold leaf.

Then, hand shaped, and on top of that, lots and lots of sanding and sanding to achieve the smoothness and shape, then polishing, and then varnishing...then carefully measured and pierced, so that the gentle silver bail fits exactly right.....

hands...in different hands, the same clay and materials, would not produce this. No amount of extra work, or care or time...could make this. Laura's hands did and do. Gifted hands.
just....right.

Whose hands are you in?

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me:
And I give to them eternal life: and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand
My Father, which gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.
I and my Father are one.
john chapter 10, verses 27-30
