7 Quick Takes Friday

-
With "Catching Fire" coming to theaters this months I made these computer backgrounds :) The first background is my favorite :)




In case you forgot today starts NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month :) It technically started at midnight but what ever ;) As the month and my story progresses I shall do my best to keep you updated on how the writing is going and I might even share a couple procrastination questions that I will be filling out when I get bored :)
I finally started knitting the blanket that I had mentioned here a couple times. Here is the link to the pattern, though I am not following the pattern exactly. When I have more of it done I'll post a picture or two of the work in progress. Here is a refresher on what the colors that I am using look like :)

Since I am on the subject of making blankets, I have been working on the blanket that I started making out of old t-shirts and flannel sheets. I have three rows left to sew on. Though, if you want to get technical, it's two and a half because I ran out of bobbin thread while I was sewing one of the rows on to the rest of the blanket and the new thread doesn't want to get pulled up under the needle so I have to work on that some more before I can finish sewing it :) When it's complete I'll post a picture or two on here :)
Happy All Saints Day :)

Father, All-Powerful and ever-living God,
today we rejoice in the holy men and women
of every time and place.
May their prayers bring us your forgiveness and love
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Prayer for All Souls Day taken from the Liturgy of the Hours)

 (It is also know as All Hallows, Solemnity of All Saints, or The Feast of All Saints)
Sunday I was taking a couple pictures of flowers and I took thins one and I really like how it turned out :)


I had found this a while ago on the internet and I was going to use it for something but I forgot what it was that I was going to use it for.

Your blanket looks like a lot of fun to make - I love making huge, squishy afghans, too.

The Other Side of Modesty

-

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
