Simon's home-made monster slippers
My blog has been floating around in the back of my mind for the past several weeks. I’ve even attempted to write a few posts during that time (still half-finished, maybe they’ll be completed one day.) But when I logged in again this morning I realized just how long it has been since my last post. Oops. I did not mean to go THAT long.
I guess these past weeks, my creative juices have been flowing in other directions. A few years ago, I went away on a girls weekend with my friend, Jenny. While we were away, she taught me how to knit! And last summer, my mother-in-law very patiently and lovingly taught me how to crochet. So, this winter, while I am pregnant with LaBaby #2 and seriously lacking energy, I’ve been doing a lot of both of those things. After all, it’s a great excuse to sit on the couch with my feet up. I’ve made hat’s, scarves, mittens, blankets and slippers for family and friends. (Right now, I’m just finishing up a pair of slippers for my dear husband.) Ironically, this has been one of our warmest winters ever here in Minnesota. But when the cold weather finally does come, we are prepared.
As I’ve been working on these projects my thoughts often go to Proverbs chapter 31 where it describes the wife of noble character. Verse 21 says,
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
Well, maybe I’ve not made all these things out of scarlet, but I do know they will be warm when it snows. It encourages me to know there is at least one way that I am living up to this ideal woman.
