Ash Wednesday

I hope all of you are staying warm! I am grateful for our gas fireplace here at the Parsonage! Feels so nice on these cold, cold days! I guess Old Man Winter is gearing up for another bitter cold round of weather. But, days like this makes for some time in my sewing room! I have several things in the "working" stage. And, I signed up for several online wool stitch-a-longs, too. I can't wait to devote some much needed time on those. My problem is, I love to work with many textile mediums.... quilting, (which includes making hexies, too!), knitting, wool applique, card making, just to name a few. And, I have projects going in each one of them!! I need about 2 UNINTERRUPTED months to catch up!! And, you see the key word here is UNINTERRUPTED!! I know in reality it will NEVER happen that way, so I will be grateful and work with I get!

Today is Ash Wednesday. So, that means that life will get extremely busy in our churches with the extra Lenten Services, etc., while we prepare for Easter. May all who are reading this, prepare yourselves for this blessed event. In Advent, we prepared for the coming of the Christ Child. In Lent, we prepare for the sacrifice of what Christ did for us so that we would have life eternal.

God Bless you all!

  1. I love that you love different crafts, just like my sister, then you can hop about to whatever suits your fancy. I think that is why I have three to four knitting projects on the needles so I can hop about within the craft.
