Here is a great Kumihimo Video that I found through you-tube.

A week of work ahead

I got my final grade from my last class of the quarter today. I got an A on my Final which brought my grade up to a B so I am happy. I plan on using my week off from school to set up my New Etsy Shop. I have been working on alot of products ready and I have not wanted to show them here until the shop opens.

I have handbags, tote bags, coasters, hair clips, pins, and more . . . I have been enjoying making these items and I hope that you all enjoy the items. I hope to have a little more time to work this this week and I have my screenprinting supplies set out and I am working on a couple of new designs to have on my handbags and maybe a few t-shirts. (The picture above is one of the screenprints that I am working on. Here is the blog that I created to showcase new items for my shop. Curiously Kate

I had to add this

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU JESUS?
As you read this think about what you would do!
"Excuse me, Are you Jesus?"
This is really powerful and makes one think!!!!
A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional
sales convention in Chicago .
They had assured their wives that they would be
home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In
their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen
inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of
apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking
back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their
nearly missed boarding.
ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in
touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of
compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been
overturned.
He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye,
told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their
home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then
he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the
terminal floor.
He was glad he did.
The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying,
tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at
the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the
crowd swirled about her, no one stopping and no one to care
for her plight.
The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples,
put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As
he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered
and bruised; these he set aside in another basket.
When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl,
"Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?"
She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we
didn't spoil your day too badly."
As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl
called out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back
into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"
He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he
made his way to catch the later flight with that question
burning and bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"
Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not?
To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the
difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to
His love, life and grace.
If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He
would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and
going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds
day to day.
You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been
bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit.
Please share this,,,,Sometimes we just take things for granted,
when we really need to be sharing what we know...Thanks
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
And may JESUS keep you safe through out the New Year!

I Want This Book

I want this book. I am drooling.

I found this one Kitty-Craft and I thought I would love to make a few of the items found inside, I really love the bag on the cover.

This book cover is just too cute.

And this bag would be a great knitting bag.
