Well that last entry was kind of a failure, so let's try again...
Here's a snowflake in metallic thread.

I'm not making this long as this was a trial, so bye for now!

Inspired by Debra's Blog

My friend Debra recently wrote a blog post about jars in her blog.  (If you're not a regular reader, I encourage you to read it as it is always thought-provoking).  Please read it  here .  In the post she spoke of several "jars" and what they might contain...  It got me thinking about my own "jars" and what I had put into them over the years, but also what they were FOR. Not Just for Show In the Tuesday Women's Bible study, we're studying the fruit of the Spirit.  One of the things we've talked about is that the "fruit" that we grow isn't so we can strut around showing off our beautiful fruit... mostly because it isn't ours anyway; it's fruit of the Spirit.  Rather this fruit that we grow is meant to be consumed.  People around us are starving for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. Back to the Jars Which got me thinking about Deb's post and the jars.  It's not enough...

So Much to Learn...

-
 I've been tatting awhile now, and I still have SOOOOOO much to learn!  I still suffer from the downfall of the newbie - wanting to learn it all at once and trying to run before I walk.  Someday, I shall be free from this downfall, but alas, then I fear I shall be dead. I've been working on my YouTube channel (Opposable Thumbs & Scissors), but have found a new downfall - too many ideas & not enough energy, talent, nor knowhow.  Most days I still feel like I'm slogging through thick mud - I'm heaving my body around and my head is full of fog.  I'm praying that it ends soon and try to push myself to do something.  I think I've allowed this to bring me down, and have struggled to tat even the very basic of patterns. I'm pressing onward, though!  Trying to remind myself that I can do all things through Christ!  And that I have the mind of Christ, and His mind isn't full of fog.  I want to be an encourager and leave people feeling better....

International Tatting Day 2022

-
 Happy International Tatting Day!!! In a world that's trying it's best to pull us all apart, it's wonderful to have an excuse to come together! And bonus points: you're supposed to eat chocolate today!  Score!  What a great day. Though I'm still struggling, personally, I am overjoyed looking at others' works.  Some have even been brave enough to post their failures, and that's also inspiring.  Some days, the devil just wants to hold you down and tell you you're defeated.  But thank God that God is such a BIG God.  Bigger than the lies of the devil.  Bigger than my feelings.  Bigger than the failures that threaten to keep me locked inside so no one sees. So much talent is lurking out there... shuttle designers, pattern designers, tatters, video makers, bloggers, vloggers, teachers.   I encourage you to look.  Just a YouTube search and you'll find a whole new world!  Join a Facebook group about tatting, there are so many goo...
