Crochet doily..

This is an unfinished small "doily" I am crocheting...
almost looks like a rose with wings.  It will look lacier once it is blocked and set; will post photos when it is finished.

The crochet pattern is free from BellaCrochet; I am using size 10 crochet thread.

This I know...

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. psalm 41:11

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. psalm 56:9

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 timothy 1:12

working on Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2016

Progress - of quilt block & more

Quiltmania/Colmar, quilt block 1 nearly finished

I have been working on the first quilt block via Quiltmania's youtube videos (colmar mystery quilt),
and have been learning and practicing appliqué, trapunto, embroidery embellishment and more..

some flower bud embellishment

and it all begun ( as projects do)  very humbly, as I pieced together fabrics...determined to use fabric which I already had on hand....

not knowing how it would look - or whether I had chosen properly...

but by just starting, and stepping out, and learning,  this  has become

this :)   life is like that, no? :)   

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  
philippians 3:12-14
