~ Instead of a yarn along post ~ our bedroom icon corner ~

I am working on one knitting project

that is a surprise so that's all I can say on that! :)

*

Sadly feedly is down, apparently attacked.

So if I usually read and comment on your blog,

know that I just don't know you wrote at present.

Nasty attack :(

*

So I thought I would show the making of my icon shelf/corner

in our new home.

I've used this shelf for a few places now,

so it's a little battered at the back...

It's a struggle every time to get the second 

smaller part in just right;

the shelf will slide onto the longer piece

and then goes over the second small wood strip

and has to be positioned accordingly.

*

It is a challenge and while I had it all level,

I had to change it a few times and

finally, once it's as good as it's going to get,

shove the shelf into place.

*

I think the corners are just not matching up to the 

corner shelf, so it's a bit uneven.

Not fully level but actually up and

I just called it good after many tries and prayers

(of desperation but real prayers of some sort!)

It was so good to see all the icons again!

They had been carefully wrapped in boxes and 

small suitcases... 

it's like having all your friends, but the best 

and most holy kind, come out to visit!

*

Of course the icon of our Saviour Jesus Christ came out first!

This was the second mounted icon I ever had

and was given to me by S. at my first church,

10 years ago now... 

This time it just happened that I was doing the long wall

first and it was all Man-Saints... so I just kept it that way!

His and Hers sections :)

*

Someday I would love to do posts on each individual icon

as they all have a story of how they came to be in my life

or how I was helped...

but for now I will just focus on making our house

a home where we can be reminded of our Lord Christ

and of the Great Cloud of Witnesses that surround us!
