  • 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.

What are you working on now?

I'm crocheting a baby blanket for a friend's daughter who is due in March and knitting a pair of socks for myself. I've also got a knit shawl on needles, but I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would, so I may rip it out and use the yarn for something else.

How did the baby blanket and the socks turn out? Did you rip out the shawl and did you start something else?

I know Sunshine. Im a little older than you and Im finding I have to rest my eyes and have excellent light, preferably natural. I used to love to do petit point and small work. I do know we wont have eye strain in heaven. And you know God will let us create. At least I believe He will. :)

Recently finished tatting 165 bookmarks for the women at church for Mother's Day. I had enough made that many were able to take their mothers/daughters/grandmothers and various other female relatives and friends a bookmark.

Now I am working on a special order of additional bookmarks as well as getting my Christmas tatting started. Snowflakes, Crosses, Angels, Stockings, Trees, and Candles for gifts, cards, and Ornaments.
