Are you feeling under pressure lately? Perhaps work issues? family issues? emotional issues?
This song tells how God He can make diamonds out of dust - the dust of our pain. Jon Steingard does a great job of sharing the story behind this song.
All I know is that diamonds are created under pressure - immense pressure.
Pressure is something we are all familiar with. Guess what?
We've all survived begin under great pressure - heck - some of us have even thrived!
We're being made into diamonds dear readers - we're being made into beautiful, precious, valued diamonds.
Slow Stitching
It has been a lovely day with friends and family.  There's been a wee bit of time for slow stitching, though!
I was able to write up and embroider a bit on my Still Stitching project.  
My Spring Granny Square Afghan got  a bit of attention today!  Finally!  
Tonight I hope to add the blue flower with with borders to begin the second row of my Yo-Yo Quilt.
Stash Report
My daughter found some more flannel for me! This is great as it means more baby quilts for El Paso Children's Hospital!
You know, I have been so blessed this week by giving someone a dream! Part of her blessing was 14 yards of various types of fabric! Yea!

Thank you for taking time to comment!

Sounds like a good week.
ReplyDeleteYour blogger blog is the only one where I can comment. I wonder why that is?
What a wonderful blessing of flannel for the baby quilts. That's a song I like a lot, so thanks for having it here to listen to as I read your blog post. =) Your yo-yo is moving along, and I really like that blue one.
ReplyDeleteYes! I was able to deliver four quilts yesterday and am working on the 5th one! Yea! Yes, the yo-yo quilt is showing progress. I so love working on it! I'm glad you enjoyed the song!
