String Hobby!

 Just a sample of my favorite hobby....I love to take a string and create a garment....the definition of Crochet and Knit....for me is:  The art of creating fabric and garments from a string!  That is my personal application!
      My most loved hobby is creating garments for children!  I Love doing my own thing! Sometime I start with someone elses pattern , but I invarialby end up doing my own thing with it.

$50.00, 'Well Blow Me Down'

I am excited!  I am finally making my own pattern work.  A Christmas stocking customized with a name and a full-size Santa on the front. Yesterday, I looked on Itsy for knitted products, and I ran across a simple version of this Christmas stocking.  They have it priced at $50.00; I almost fainted.  I wonder......Can I do that?
I still have a lot of work to do on this pattern, but maybe......down the road!

Peace

I have learned that the only real and lasting peace comes from knowing Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Ghost.  When you can come to Him in complete distress and He can wrap His love around you like a the softest knitted afghan and bring peace to your troubled spirit. That is when you know that you have found real peace. 

          Knowing this truth has caused me to combine two of the most pleasurable things I know.   I knit and pray and thus my peace becomes complete!  These two things have carried me through some rough times in my life, and they have helped me find my way when trouble was on every hand.

          There is a course that flows like this,

                           "The only real peace that I have

                                     Dear Lord is in You 

                            
                             The only real peace that I have

                                                          
                                      Dear Lord is in You

                              Through all life's frustrations                 

                                       I need You and I know I do 
  
                               The only real peace that I have

         
                                       Dear Lord is in you"
