Spiritual Revolt of a Nation Isaiah 22:3-4 All your leaders have fled together; they have been captured without using the bow.

It’s Not Pointless, It’s Passion
And there is a reason we have passion! Today after work I was in kind of a blah mood. I have been wanting to find an escape of sorts.

Confessions of a Yarn Junkie
This is a picture of a “Baby Games” afghan I wanted to make for a friend of mine. Each circle design has not only a matching circle pattern, but an opposite as well. Ultimately, once the matching game is complete, I border the blanket with the child’s name and birth date. This baby wasn’t due… Continue reading Confessions of a Yarn Junkie
