I actually made some things today
it's good to know I didn't completely forget *how to art*....
Here's one of the things I made.
after I finished it I was like "hmmmm what am I going to do w/ it?" Then I had an idea...
I'll use it as a little prayer altar. I wrote the name of friends who need my prayers on little tags and hung them from the nails on the top. Now I can remember who needs a little help from above ;)
The weather has been so crazy. Last week we were enjoying spring--my Camilia bushes and Azaleas are in full bloom (the yard even needs mowing) and today it's been cold and windy. I decided to use up the last of the firewood and build a fire for the kids to enjoy...and when I stepped outside to get the wood it was SLEETING! Maybe we'll get lucky and get a few snow flurries-the kids would love that.
I hope all of you have a great weekend.
i really like this prayer piece, carla. it is such a wonderful touchstone to remind you to hold these people close to your heart throughout the day. and it's dang pretty, too!

This is absolutely wonderful and moving. I could actually "feel" it as I read about it.... I think everyone should have a prayer alter...
