Yarn Along ~ Simple knit and a profound read

Doing some cream coloured wash clothes.
As I transition slowly but quickly into fall
(funny how transitions are!)
I have a lot of things that need tending...
so simple wash clothes is my go to knit for now!

I have begun the article in the latest Road to Emmaus:



I began the longer essay
A Feeling for Beauty: The Aesthetic Ground
of Orthodox Ethics 
when we were newly living in this home, before
my three weeks of kids-in-the-house
and then we had my wonderful visit of my parents-in-law and then
PEI and then Ottawa...
Meanwhile Mr. Husband was overseas for business and took
the journal with him and read this essay and began re-reading it,
he, like I, found it so very good.
It's astounding actually.
So good that we are thinking of getting extra copies
to share...

New Home, Same Sunshine Blanket

Whew! 

A week ago we moved into our new home! 

I am so glad to be back into 

the yarn along Wednesdays! 

Flowers from a now nearby friend!

I am reading the latest issue of Road to Emmaus.

Loving it as always.

I made a fun kids book nook!

We have a 6 year old niece visiting in just a few weeks!

Yay!!! 

I have many more squares for my sunshine blanket done

and ready to have ends weaved in and then hand sewing!

I love this part!

It still fits (with a second secret project in also!)

in the wonderful drawstring bag that Wanda made!

Bread Houses and Pink Blanket Progress in the best week of the year

 The Lovie blanket is progressing. 

I am decreasing now.

{Mr. Husband says this is the St. John the Baptist section,

as in I must decrease and He increase :) } 

I am reading right now about

Bread Houses that 

Nadezhda Savova began.

Mr. Husband just finished reading this article in 

the fall 2013 issue of Road to Emmaus

and was telling me all about these Red Houses

and I was like, Red Houses?

and he corrected me, no:

Bread Houses

that are connecting people from different ages, ethnicity, religion, 

helping orphans and elderly, bringing peace.

I am thinking of getting her book also.

FYI, she is the 2012 National Geographic 

traveler of the year.

It all began when she was on Pilgrimage and learned that

Bethlehem means House of Bread

and then her Grandmother's house (which was now hers) roof fell in...

and suddenly she began the first Bread House 

as soon as the roof was restored...

you can read about it in print here.

Excited to join Ginny's Yarn Along!

Even more excited that it is Holy Week!

Mr. Husband and I DV will be at the Wednesday night 

matins and unction service tonight!

Blessed Holy Week and Easter/Pascha to all!
