Heb. 4:12

For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12

NOT a hobby!">Crochet is NOT a hobby!

It’s a skill!

I was watch­ing an old episode of Knit & Cro­chet Today and there was an inter­view with Nikki Epstein.  She made the com­ment, “Knit­ting isn’t a hobby; it’s a skill!”

That rang bells for me.  It’s true.  Cro­chet­ing (and knit­ting) are skills.  You have to really work to hone those skills.  The more you hone, the […]

One to teach how to read and fol­low a sewing pat­tern

My sweet friend and I

I am ever so thank­ful to Martha, my fab­ric sup­plier, and Elaine, my sewing Yoda, for their help in allow­ing me to […]

The Great Sunflower Project

I had signed up for this project back in April, and thought I’d missed the chance to par­tic­i­pate this year, but my seeds arrived today!

Enclosed were some instruc­tions and a data sheet to keep up with how many bees our sun­flow­ers attract.

This is so great!  I have just decided to estab­lish a small gar­den ‘spot’ […]

Stone Soup, Anyone?

A friend of mine, who works at our local library, is read­ing the book, Stone Soup, to a group of small chil­dren.
She said she’d love to have props on hand as she read the story, so my son and I cro­cheted her some veg­eta­bles for her Stone Soup.

We made:
tomato
peas
green beans
radish
red bell pep­per (not pic­tured)
car­rot
gar­lic
egg­plant
cab­bage
turnip (not pictured)
