showing a finish

handmade shawl/pattern by Michele DuNaier

I have been working on a crochet shawl in May, and it is now finished and blocked....

 the lace/eyelet edging is done in two layers....

there has been a lot going on ....all is well..and at the same time, depending on God every moment of every day, is something that is a learning process, no?

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: philippians 1:6

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. hebrews 13:21-22

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 thessalonians 2:16-17

just think of it - Our Lord Jesus HIMSELF! and God even our Father! has given us everlasting consolation AND good hope through grace AND shall comfort our hearts AND establish us in every good word and work!  AND hath loved us...He loves us

Ornaments! Advent and Christmas

it has a been a while since my last post, but I have time to publish a few ornaments I recently made ~

perhaps one will inspire you to make some too :)


For this ornament, I cut 2 hexagons (approx. 4 inches wide); one of gingerbread colored felt, and the other a bit larger (to include seams) of small red and white gingham  -

embellishing the felt top with beads, lace, ribbon, a bit of embroidery -



then, started to sew it all up with pearl cotton and beads...stuffing with wool as I went, and sewing in some ribbon at the top for hanging...and added little mulberry paper roses at the top.


Luke 1:4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed.
