“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Wow, 71 degrees, Farenheit ! I read that that is 21.6 C. degrees (Celsius)

Earlier post edited by request. 

I took these photos of the sock I've been working on..........I don't love it, and I feel, at this point, that I don't want to put so much time and effort into handmade socks unless I LOVE them. 
So, I think I'm going to frog it tonight, and choose another design.  I don't regret it at all.  I needed something to work on at the nursing home, and enjoyed the knitting, so it's all good.  

I also took a couple of photos of this little heart-shaped dish that I found at a garage-sale yesterday..........YAY, GARAGE SALES ARE STARTING AGAIN !     It only cost me a dollar and looks so pretty on my bedside stand, holding my watch at the end of the day.  Can you see the pretty raised nature of the design in the white area? 

 So pretty.......it even has a pretty backside !

    Keep him busy and he will do all that much better!

    As for the sock, life is too short to do something you don't love, like you said.

    Enjoy the day and tonight when you lay your watch in your beautiful dish, remember...He loves you!
