☆"Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars,
The One who leads forth their host by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is missing."
{Isaiah 40:26}☆
"He who counts the stars and calls them by their names,
is in no danger of forgetting His own children."
{Charles Spurgeon}
I'm so excited to show you all one of my latest crochet projects -
this star bunting!
I made the original as a gift for a dear friend's birthday.
I'm now offering them for sale in my Etsy shop as well!
It looks so "4th of July" with our cheery red gingham kitchen curtains.
I want to make myself some in pastels for my bedroom.
Wouldn't they just be the sweetest thing in a nursery though?
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?"
{Psalm 8:3+4}
The star theme brought to mind these precious verses as well as this beautiful song from the Getty's newest album.
I also just finished this patriotic star shaped doily for my Momma.
It may look like I'm practicing some sort of voodoo, but rest assured,
I am not.
I'm just starching & stretching this doily so it will stay in its crisp shape
& not be all wiggly-woggly.
Oh, by the way, if you do bop over to my Etsy shop be sure to check out the cute vintage patterns I've been listing. Perhaps there's something there you just *need*. ;)
What do you think of my star garland?
Have you been working on anything that you're excited about lately?
Much love,
Miss Michelle ^_^
I think your star garland is positively delightful, my friend. AndI simply loved the way you tied in God's word as well as precious quotes. Your post was lovely!
