Today I woke up to this!
It's amazingly beautiful, yet I really long for Spring right now.  However, every day I wake up breathing is a blessing.  Jesus referred to Heaven as "Paradise" and I often wonder if it will be like earth at all because there are so many beautiful things about our earth that I will miss when I go.  But, maybe Heaven will be so gloriously wonderful that it won't matter anymore.

I participated in a Yarn Swap on Ravelry.com last month and the theme was Steam Punk!  First of all, Ravelry is an online community of people who knit, spin, crochet, and weave.  You can make friends, get free patterns on the site and you can even keep a record of all your projects!  That way, even when you gift it you have a nice record and picture of it!

The swap moderator matches people together for each swap so you don't know who you will be getting a package from.  Usually you have to include at least 1 skein of yarn and several hand made items based on the theme of the swap and then the rest is up to you.  There is always a dollar amount so that everything is pretty even with other swappers.  It is great fun and kinda like a Secret Santa!  Anyway, I found out that my partner received her swap in the mail the other day!  This is what I made and sent to her!!
Here are the items I made for her!



 The PB&J is a tiny pin I made with Polymer Clay!  I don't know who will be sending a package to me, but I will keep you posted when I do!

I have started weaving on my Rigid Heddle Loom and I will post some pics later this week!

Happy Crafting and God Bless!  OH,  Frankenstein says, "HI!"
