Restful Day But Productive As Well

I try to keep Sunday at rest for the most part but I did manage a few little things which made me happy. Made 1/2 gallon of milk for the fridge and  made 3 days' worth of coffee.

A few days ago, I realized my personal stash of "faith items" was down to almost zero. I try to keep several types of crosses and/or angels in my purse and in my stash at home. I love to pass them out when someone needs a lift. The crosses, I make 2 kinds of plastic canvas ones (one with satin ribbon and one is a "pocket" cross) and several crochet types. And I make at least 2 kinds of wee angels.

This morning, I finally found my working container for the pocket crosses. I love those (see photo of earlier ones I've made) and the verse that is printed and folded into the pocket in each. Jane first began making these, I just printed the poems the way we found them online. Then I began making them as well. But it always bothered me that such a beautiful verse gave no credit the writer. Eventually, after many searches, I found the author's name and now all the verses I print have the author's name as well.

Anyhow, I made half a dozen of those today. For me, they work up very quickly. I had found the plastic canvas forms I'd cut quite a while back, so now I only need to add the yarn trim. It's also a great way for me to use up very small amounts of yarn.

Other than that, it was a nice quiet day - we all need some of those along the way. We never know when we'll hit a bump on life's road so we need to appreciate the smooth times. Boring, some might call them, but I call them blessed!

Rolling along...
