Handiwork, II
The Bible reading for today is Matt. 26; Mark 14.
Julie’s post for the weekend was a perfect summary of all the thoughts that have been running through my head as I’ve been following the readings these past few days–if you haven’t joined our Bible reading plan and are thinking now might be a good time, we’d love to have the network grow of ladies committed to reading through the Bible this year. If you need a schedule, let me know in the comments section and I’ll e-mail you one.
Our Handiwork gathering Friday night was absolutely delightful! If you’ve been hesitant to come because you’re not working on a project, follow Kathy’s example (and Charleen’s example the last time we met) and just come! You won’t be disappointed, and likely, you’ll be put to work. Jenny Jezek brought an armful of felt needing to be cut up for Sunday School, and soon, Kathy was wielding scissors (and asking things like, “Do you want numbers on the dry bones?”).
The scraps of felt piled up as the scissors did their work–many more hands could have joined in the fun :).
There was some knitting (two works completed, another started), some beautiful embroidery by Caroline, and some fabric selection for upcoming projects.
There was lots of laughter, good conversation ranging from theology, to missions, to the excitement of curbside finds. And one of those finds, served up the goodies that fueled the creating for the evening–behold the tea cart (does anyone have any ideas for what to put on the bottom shelf?).
Hope you’re able to join us when we meet next. And mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 1 at 7:30pm–I’m hosting a neighborhood Handmade Holiday Open House to showcase some of the creations of my neighbors and friends. It would be a great opportunity to purchase some unique gift items that feature handiwork and to be inspired by the creations of others.
