52 Week Blessing Challenge – Week 8 Crafts

Crafts are such a part of my life and I feel so blessed to be able to understand how to do a variety of them. While in the hospital with Emily I have plenty of time to work on my needle tatting.

I finished this cross a couple of days ago. I’m currently working on a cross with thinner thread. It’s a little more challenging because it is smaller, but the stitches are all the same so it shouldn’t take any longer to complete.

Other crafts I enjoy are

Weaving

Felting

And other needle arts such as this crochet edging I made on the bottom of a hand woven shawl I wove for my aunt.

I’m truly blessed to be able to make things from just a small piece of fabric or string.

I think I'd love to learn weaving!

Weaving isn't hard, just time consuming. Patience is required to get it threaded. On days when I don't want to do anything else I thread a loom....
