I tried to get creative with the title, but as you can see, I just stuck to the basic Granny Square. Speaking of basics, do you know how to make a granny square? If you can chain and make a double crochet, you can make a granny square. The ladies in my local Knit and…
But joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 I was working on a doll that I was crocheting for my grandchild which was done in a way that had the clothes worked into the pattern. This means there will be color changes along the way. I was half way through the project, mindlessly making the…
Theologians tell us there are 400 years between Malachi 4:6 and Matthew 1:1. What was happening during that time? Was God trying to come up with a Plan B, C or even D? No, Gods plan of salvation was already in the works in Genesis 1. There is no Plan B. From Genesis to Malachi…
