"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."
Jane Brocket from The Gentle Art of Domesticity p. 189 UK edition

Seasonal Hitches and Stitches





We had a snow shower today...thunder yesterday and rain showers in between.  Seasonal hitches!

From time to time I am still doing some proofreading for a friend who is translating Scripture from an early Greek manuscript.  Last year he completed the four Gospels and then launched into the other books of the New Testament.  It is still fascinating to me to look at a word for word translation of the Greek to English and then see how someone forms that into English sentences that make sense.  God gives me encouragements and challenges as I ponder what I am reading.

After I gathered with some ladies at church yesterday to share our faith in Christ while we  finished studying one of Graham Cooke's books, we drove to one of the leader's homes for lunch with some of their little ones buzzing around to keep us hopping.  

When I got home, I worked on Miss Maggie Rabbit.  She requires a lot of blanket stitches which I am really enjoying!  Somehow blanket stitches seem to make my irregular stitches  not so horrible.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

If you have not visited Betsy Queen at her blog, I encourage you to do so!  She is a talented, interesting Christ follower who loves to knit and crochet...FAST...and beautifully and she is generously having a giveaway to thank one of over 50 friends who have introduced themselves to her on her blog.

Do you have a hitch or stitch you want to tell me about?
