Good Morning
Exodus 32: 21-35
21 And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?"
22 So Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 "For they said to me, 'Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become him.'
24 And I said to them, "Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.' So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out."
25 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies),
26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on the Lord's side-come to me!" And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them, "Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.' ''
28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
29 Then Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother."
30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, ''You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
31 Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, "Oh these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold!
32 "Yet now, if You will forgive their sin- but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written."
33 And the Lord said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
34 '' Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin."
35 So the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.
Have A Bless Day!

Dec 2024 WIP (Work in Progress) 'Show and Tell'
Hello everyone! It's hard for me to believe that December is here, it seems that just a couple of weeks ago it wasn't quite yet Halloween. Where does the time go, I often wonder?!
It's the beginning of the month and time to share our new or ongoing WIPs, or recent finishes. Share a photo and brief description (pattern name and designer or publisher) to show us what you've been up to! If you've been working on other crafts/hobbies -- knitting, crochet, quilting, or such -- feel free to share those projects, we enjoy seeing them all!
Take care, all!

For Our Canadian Customers...
Hi there everyone! Currently, we are unable to ship orders out to Canada. I am linking the statement from our USPS website on here but it basically states that starting on Nov 29th, USPS has temporarily suspended international mail acceptance to Canada due to the foreign postal operator indicating that they are unable to process or deliver international mail or services as a result of the ongoing national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
We aren't sure how long this will be in effect but we will be monitoring any updates given to us by USPS regarding this.
I am starting an Heirloom Christmas stocking (Holiday Kitchen pattern) for my new daughter in law. I hope to have it finished for NEXT Christmas (haha). I'm having trouble seeing the tiny fabric holes in the mushroom laguna 25 count linen fabric which is stitched over two threads/holes. My question: Would it be okay to use 14 count AIDA beige/tan color instead of the 25 linen over two? Everyone in our family has stockings made by my MIL so I'd like the stockings I make to be similar to the rest of the family's. Thank You!

GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind MONDAY
Good Monday morning everyone. I hope everyone had an enjoyable, relaxing Thanksgiving. This is one Monday I'm glad I'm retired because I would have dreaded going to work after the holiday. Plus, it's very cold outside at 9 degrees with the wind chill. Today, we have to pick up Daisy's ashes and run a few small errands. Other than that it will hopefully be an ordinary day and an ordinary week. Have a good week! P.S. Love this month's Scandanavian Snowflake freebie pattern! It's next in the line up for stitching.

GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind SUNDAY
Good Sunday morning everyone. Today is putting up the tree day and chili in the crock pot. Yesterday I swapped the fall/Thanksgiving pieces and hung up the winter projects. With the light snow yesterday, it seemed like the time to do that. I'll be doing my last "Sheep Virtue" today for stitching. I want to clear some of my WIP's and what I have going is the Betsy Ross piece. Happy first of December.
