• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Those look so cool! That's a good hobby to have. I tried making jewelry before and it was a lot of fun!

It is so fun! I mean most of it is. I do complain a bit if there's little beads involved, haha. But overall it's really fun, and can actually be relaxing and get your mind on things because you're so focused about what you want for whatever piece of jewelry you're making and the colors and style you want.

I don't do these kinds of arts and crafts myself, but a couple months ago I paid a guy a few dollars to make me one of these:



Each colored bead represents a different aspect for the Christian faith. I think they make good conversation starters.

It's really nice! I'd love to know what each color represents. You can PM me if you like, whatever works.

black = sin/separation from God
red = the blood of Christ to forgive us and bring us back to God
white = purity or cleansing of Jesus
blue = identification of our baptism with Christ
green = our Christian growth
yellow/gold = our home in Heaven

pretty nifty, huh?

I can mail you mine if you're interested. If not, I understand if you don't want to let other CFers know your address. And anthrax. Be very careful of that too.

Earlier this year I bought a 3-D printed figure from another site and painted it:




Here's a paint-by-number kit I did back in 2010, that I still have in my room. I like it a lot because it has two of my favorite Pokemon on it and the background contains my top two favorite colors (lavender and pink)!



And here's a clay model I made a couple years ago of a Hero Chao.

I may as well give an update on what I have planned here.

I'm going to start making a fabric Advent calendar pretty soon, I'll post a photo when it's done! I've never made one before so I hope it turns out right.

That's the only real plan I have for Christmas right now, but we'll see. Maybe I'll decide to sew some stuffed animals for Christmas too. It's been almost two months since I've sewn anything, so I'm ready to get my trusty sewing machine out and get back to work now!

make sure the gems you glue gun onto it have flat backs so they can be glued on and stay on the foam
