Where God Tests the Weather

Chicago is the place where God tests the weather.
Last week in my beloved city we had 80 degrees, 70 degrees, 30 degrees with snow on the ground and a frost advisory. All in the  same week. An angel comes up to God and says, “I have an idea for a new cloud formation.” God says, “Fly it over Chicago.” I’m sure that’s how the conversation goes.

It was cold in the yarn room and instead of turning on my heater, I opened the window. Who knew that would make it warmer? But it did.  The downside is we live on a busy street and every place across the street is a business and we’re less than a mile from the railroad crossing. So there’s noise. On this side of the street are residences; a mixture of apartments and condos with houses. Lots of people with lots of dogs. (There’s an animal hospital two doors down.) Noise of all kinds. We also live street level. I’ve walked by when the shades were up. Can see straight through.
But it’s love. It’s a crazy kind of love  But love it is. And through it all – there was knitting.

The headbands are here. Some of them have made it into the shop. There are more to come. More to be created and more that are created and need to be listed. The cool thing is I finally put them up!

I also added a new pattern to my Ravelry page. And, of course, the stickers in Abbey and Lincoln. I am also working on a new blanket for the Go Imagine shop. In case you missed it, I added something to the yarn review page. More to come with that along with a new page on hooks and needle reviews.

Hey, I’m warming up with the weather. Hopefully, my heat spell will last longer!

Come and See

 

Come and see, y’all! My digital sticker pack, The Word, is now available at Abbey and Lincoln.

The pack is built around passages I ran across during my Bible study class and when I did other bible reading.

I like using the stickers for a pop of color and to make an emphasis of something that’s worth remembering.

I can scroll through the notes and see what stickers I placed and I know if I was in a moment of gratitude, a moment of praise, even a moment of repetence. They really do enhance my experience.

 

 

 

Also find SVGs. Use SVGs to print on mugs, tshrits, tote bags, etc. Create some cool looking merch. 

 

 

 

Designed for digital use but there’s nothing stopping you from printing them onto the right kind of paper and using them in your scrapbook, hard copy Bible or wherever else you want to place a sticker.

There are more than 100 stickers – with backgrounds and without – so they really can be used anywhere the program or app allows png files. I use Zinnia journal and I have to admit, I like my stickers more than the ones I can get inside the app.

Go and take a look. Would love for you to see it. I would love it even more if you purchase it. The pack is $2.50.

Also, don’t forget the headbands are coming and they will start going up today or tomorrow. All the orders are out so the runway is clear for the new stuff!
