Events late in 2017 led me to practice surrendering my will to God's with trust and hope in 2018. It's been a journey of growing faith, personal victory, stronger faith, joy, peace, surrender, steadfast faith, perseverance, building of character, strength - so many blessings from one mere trial! Additionally, unbeknowest to me, God worked through 2018 to strenghthen me for 2019 as my dad, who has been both mother and father to me, has sudden, new health issues.
God's Word stands true and steadfast!
Let's remember:
Slow Stitching Sunday
For the foreseeable feature, I'm planning on working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden. It's about halfway put together. Maybe this will be the year it graduates from pieces to a flimsy!
Here is my dinosaur that was gifted to my grandson....his daddy had fun trying to work out this brainteaser pull-apart ball! It goes from this
to this!
(The pattern was found in this book.)
Here's a few more dishcloths that were given out this Christmas!
Sunday Stats
Progress
Even though I lost track of stats when I became ill, I'm still linking up to the Stash Report at Quilt, Paint, Create just to say, "Hello there!" I'll start keeping track of fiber used with the New Year!

Happy New Year, My Dears!

I will continue to pray for your health in 2019. I love the dinosaur! So cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm learning to take care of myself. I realize now that I have to meet God halfway. I'm praying Dad will recover or at least be comfortable. Yes, I'm pleased with how the dinosaur came out! Even my son-in-law enjoyed playing with him!
DeleteCute dinosaur! Your quilt is coming along, it just takes time to put all those little pieces together.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! For now, this will be my Slow Stitching Sunday project. I can hardly wait to sleep under it. I'm considering hand quilting it, but the task seems daunting. Hmmm...one day at a time.
DeleteLove the dinosaur! Have a very happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Once I sit down and start crocheting them, I so enjoy it! Have a happy and blessed new year :-)
DeleteHealing prayers and a blessed New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Blessings to you as well!
DeleteSurrender is harder as we get older. Kudos to you for letting Him through and I hope your health and your father's health improve in 2019. Your dinosaur is so cute! I saw it on the linkup, but thought I had already commented on your stuffed animal, so didn't click on it again. But it's a different one, and it is such a neat puzzle. I don't think I could put it together or take it apart. And of course I love your GFG. I hope you get it to the flimsy stage this year too.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about that, but you are so right! My own health is steadily improving as time passes away from chemo/radiation. I am grateful for the prayers and well wishes from lovely people such as yourself! Thank you! Daddy has had a very healthy 87 years for which I am grateful. I would love to see him fully recovered and back to his old self. Thank you for clicking on my dinosaur! He was fun to make - once I sat down to work on him. I am so eager to sleep under my GFG!
DeleteThat passage from Romans 5 is one of my favorites. I love being reminded of the hope that does not disappoint!
ReplyDeleteYes....this verse has blessed me over the years....hope does not disappoint..... :) Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteLove the dinosaur and your flower garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karrin! Happy New Year!
DeleteThat dinosaur looks super fun! I love how your GFG is looking. I'm with you--let's move into 2019 with the Lord's faith, joy and hope!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Little Dino was fun to play with! Thank you! I'm eager to finish this GFG! I usually say, "This is the year!" Hopefully, this IS the year it will be a flimsy! Blessings!
DeleteAmazing dinosaur! I don't think I could have figured it out. Sorry to hear about your father, faith will see you through.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin! You have spoken truth and strength today! Blessings!
