I'm beginning to understand why there are people who don't have a good view of Christians or even leave the faith. Not that I would ever condone such actions, nor do I have any plans of leaving Jesus, but I'm learning firsthand how Christians are not behaving in a manner that would make others...

Every one of us, as human beings, is of great value. We were all lovingly made in God's image, and therefore we have immense dignity. Each of us, at every age and stage of life, is unique and precious in His eyes. As Christians, we are called to see ourselves and everyone we encounter as such...

From what I've seen on CF over the years, it seems that we Christians are not exactly doing what we should. As Christians, aren't we supposed to preach the Gospel, spread the Good News, bring Christ's light to others, help them find Him, lift one another up, help those in need, and treat each...

2023 did not turn out as I expected. I expected it to be another year of anxiety, depression, and boredom...but I was pleasantly surprised! Now, of course I still had anxiety every day of the year, and I did get depressed and bored sometimes, but not as much as usual. It started out like a...

I pretty much have my own style of writing, which has changed over the years. When I first started writing for fun as a child, my writing style was basically simple. There were descriptions here and there, but a lot of things weren't detailed. Words and phrases may have been overused. At the...

We all, at some point, wonder why things happen in our lives. We regret our past decisions, and we might wonder "Why did you lead me down that path, Lord?" or "Why did you allow that to happen to me, Lord?" But we have to think about it: did God really lead us to make those mistakes? Or was it...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted in my blog, but I'm happy to announce that I have something new to share with you! As a tribute to all those busy, buzzing bees that pollinate our flowers and our food, I wanted to make a plush bee. But none of the free patterns I found online...

This month marks my fifth anniversary of being a plushie-maker! I don't remember the exact day, but it was in November when I began working on my first plushie. I'm still not that great with making patterns, but overall I think I've improved a lot and learned a lot over these five years. I'm...

What is right and wrong? In these troubled times, this question appears to be subjective, as in everyone has their own view of right and wrong. I've seen many different views on morals and actions among other Christians. Unfortunately, some of us are actually too far to one side: either...

I believe that while caring for other people and sharing God's Word should come first, we should also care for the earth and the creation that God has given us (but of course, we should do it the right way without violating Christian morals and values). I have heard other Christians claim that...

Sometimes I look back on how much I've improved over the years, especially in drawing and sewing. I remember the days when I did not understand a lot of things in those areas, when I frequently asked for advice on them, when I was working hard to improve...I remember when my drawings were much...

We all have callings in our lives, things we are made to do. God leads us to the paths He meant for us to take. But the proper path isn't always right there in front of us; sometimes we have to look for it. My callings are something I've been thinking about for a while. I believe that celibacy...

Here are answers to some questions you might have about my plushie-making hobby, as well as some that should be useful to anyone who owns a plushie I made. I hope you find them helpful and if you have a question that's not listed here, feel free to ask and maybe I'll add it to this post! ;)

August 29, 2018 Update: I made a few more edits to the pattern and updated the tutorial so that the puppies will be easier to make and will have some more options. Hey guys! I finally decided to try making my first ever shared plushie pattern, and this is the result of that attempt. I call this...
