Will you ever look at clouds the same?

 

My son drew a picture in his spelling book... I noticed how the cloud looked like a heart with an extra 'bump' at the top.

Immediately, I knew.

When I look at the clouds, I can see our awesome Heavenly Father saying not just, "I love you," but instead, "I L O O O O O V E you!"

Or, "I love love love you!"

Each bump at the top of the cloud is another LOVE. How fitting for Valentine's Day coming up.

My sock knitting is going along nicely - I have finished one and I'm about half-way through the next. I can't wait to wear them. If you've ever wanted to try sock knitting, and you can knit at a beginner level, then please do give it a try!

We had a Ladies Night at our church last week and everyone was given a small bouquet to take home. Each piece had a meaning. There were two unusual flowers that caught my eye - one had rounded little ball-shaped petals. I watched over the next few days as each one opened up like a mini flower of its own. Each petal had it's own center in it. So pretty!


My Christmas cactus is flowering again, what a treat! There are several more flowers coming, too. The pic below is a cutting I took off either a philodendron lemon lime or a monstera adansonaii.


I dropped it in a glass of water and have watched it slowly grow, without any leaves. Now it has it's own leaf coming out! You can see I placed a few small stones in it to keep the leaf-end up. I'll keep you updated on how this one turns out.

I hope you have a lovely week!

Happy Valentine's Day! Know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and so loved by the King.

Practice makes bookmarks

I just realized I had left last week's post titled as 'NEXT POST.' That was an oops, haha! I changed it to 'Beauty for Ashes' to align with the artwork I shared. I'll try to pay more attention from here on. Have you ever used a dip pen? You know the kind that you dip in ink and write all fancy? I wanted to practice with my dip pens... and you know what happened? I got bookmarks! Sure, 'practice makes perfect' or 'practice makes better', but in this case, practice makes bookmarks. I added crochet string and cut round corners on some of them. It was a fun creative outlet. Did you notice that I've been posting consistently for four weeks? Thanks for following along! Check out my latest shop updates at www.roomtoflourish.bigcartel.com I have reduced the price of the 2021 scripture calendar and I've uploaded a BUNCH of original art - organized by size, which should also make them easier to view based on budget.

A Reading Log Sounds So Boring

Image
Do you have a reading log? A place to record all the books you've read in a month/year/decade? When presented with the idea of a 'reading log', all I could think of was a page with columns, and spaces for titles, authors etc. In a word: boring. After seeing some actually-interesting reading logs online, I decided to draw my own. I know this isn't the first bookshelf reading log, and it very likely won't be the last. By all means, draw your own! If you click on the link below , you'll be taken to google docs where the 8.5x11" pdf is available for FREE. Holly May B of Room to Flourish Reading Log It fits 28 titles, and I imagine the top banner to say something like, "Holly's Reading Log 2022," or "Holly's Book List Jan-Feb," or "Books Read ___/___/___ to ___/___/___," if one needs less commitment. I see that hand. You can use this, your kids can use it, your Grandma can use it... Enjoy reading! Please note: This reading l
