Meet my other friends Monday

Welcome to this weeks addition of Meet my other friends Monday. The friends that are featured in this post appear in no particular order. I've started with those bloggers who have visible email addresses. Once I work through all of those then I'll start contacting others through the comment section. You could be next

This week we are visiting with Ginny from Let your light shine. I met Ginny through Sandra's blog Mad Snapper. What a treat her blog is too. She finds the most interesting things to share. Her blog header states "how I see God in my everyday life" and I always find it quite amazing how she can connect a bible phrase with the simplest of things. She also shares her sweet granddaughter and other family members from time to time. Lets just turn this over to Ginny now because I know you'll love her.

1. How long have you been blogging and what made you start?

4 years. I wanted something to actually DO something with all my photos, and also it is somewhat of a journal.

2. What is one piece of advice that you would give to new bloggers.

Include photos if possible and keep it as short as you can...always read over and edit. Many of us have dozens of blogs to read and do not have time to read blogs that are very long. At best we can only skim them.

3. Do you have any hobbies or special talents?

I love to photograph, and I seem to be good at supporting and uplifting others. I also manage our church prayer line...I have always been good at communications and information.

4. Of course you love all the blogs you visit but share a link to one of those and tell us why we should check it out.

No, I just cannot single out any one blog, I hate making the others not feel special!!

5. What is the one things that totally makes you crazy?

People who won’t follow up on what they have said they will do. They tell you they will do something and then they never do.

6. Give one random thought.

I am so blessed, and thankful for so many things, including my blogging friends!

Who's is who's and which is which

Well I did it. I not only bought the yarn I needed to finish that watermelon pot holder but I actually finished it.

Can you tell which is the one my friend bought for me and which is the one I made?

If you guess that mine is the one on the bottom or to the right then you're right. This one actually came out slightly smaller but not by much. I wasn't sure if it's because of the size hook I used or because I tend to crochet a bit on the tight side.

I thought I would try another one with a larger hook.
And then there were three.

The larger hook did the trick. It came out exactly the same size as the original one.

Weekend weather report

It's going to do a whole lot of this.

So we are going to do a whole lot of hibernating. You think Phil is going to see his shadow today? I googled Punxsutawney Phil and found an article about how accurate he is. I didn't actually read it but if your curious go ahead and see what they have to say about how accurate Phil is

Readers, not just for reading

One of the worst things about getting older has been that my eyes just aren't what they used to be. I can still read ok without glasses so long as the print isn't extremely small but no way can I possibly thread a needle anymore without glasses.

I had to buy one of those cords for my glasses because I kept putting them down and forgetting where I laid them. I spent more time hunting for my glasses than I did on the projects I was working on.

Right now I'm stitching another candle mat. I've made this one before but I had given it to a friend for Christmas so I thought I would make another one.
