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.

Some relatives of my dad have just adopted their daughter from China. Here is a link to the blog about their journey.

Felted slippers

My mom sews, my sister does needlework, and I knit. We found a shop to please us all, Always in Stitches in Noblesville, IN. Quilting seems to be their primary focus. The yarn department isn't as extensive as some LYSs, but there is a nice variety of better yarns and equipment--so much nicer and more pleasant than Big Box Crafts.
I needed some Cascade 220 and 10.5 wooden double points. The staff was patient when we walked in 5 minutes before closing. Next time I'm in town we'll plan ahead so we can stay longer and browse.

I used my yarn and needles to finish these slippers for my sister. I made these with the Fashionably Late KAL.
