The Eighth Day

We are living in this eighth day eternal world. We are always in the eighth day.


When we go to the Liturgy we are in eternity (and) heaven is on earth.


We’re already now with the Resurrected One. His eternity is present among us. His eternal life has broken into our world of time and is present and active among us.

Staying Honest with my yarn purchases

My stash rules:
Occasions for adding to stash: FO's, my birthday, and gifts. Big FO's get major purchases, little stash-busting FO's are only worth a couple balls. Books over $15-20 count as yarn purchases too, because I'm a sucker for books recommended by LYS owners. Swaps are neutral as long as I'm adding something equivalent to what I'm sending.

This year's record:
FO=Niece#2 blankie, clapotis. Yarn purchase=4 sk not-so-cheap sock yarn and a book in Madison.
Purchase: Handpaintedyarn.com Merino bulky (3 balls each of 2 colorways). FOs=Noro hat, tunic
Purchase: lots and lots of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift. Excuse=birthday.

Not good with accounting. Don't want to think about the specifics. I KNOW that my input exceeds output.

This so cute! I love this dress. Too bad that I'm looking for a project for a baby boy. I'd love to knit this one sometime.
