We all have so much to be thankful for. While in town this morning I saw a small band of actors dressed in Bible times clothing, The one playing Jesus had a white robe and carried a cross. He fell and someone lashed out at him with a rope. It was very impressive to see that on a busy street.<br />
I am posting these cut angel earrings I made. You can see more pictures on my etsy site or facebook page, CraftedWithStyle. Thanks for stopping by. I would love to read a comment.<br />

Just a tiny piece of orange I saved and so glad I did. I hate to throw away any bit of scrapes I have left over. They always come in handy someday. I made the eyes out of black sequins and the air bubbles out of tiny pearl beads, which you can see better in the close up photo below. <br />

I got this cute pattern for a pin cushion, from Craft nThings magazine. You can go to their website craftnthings.com and get the free pattern. Just click on the February 2011 magazine, then free pattern , Lovely Ladybug. I modified the pattern to suit my taste, and ease of construction such as using felt instead of fabric. I left one piece of the pattern out, because I could not figure out where it went, LOL<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

Can even be used on coffee mugs. It only takes a few minutes to make and they make much appreciated hostess gifts.<br />
<br />
All thats needed, are a small pair of plyers with a cutting edge and round on the end, as shown in photo above, 4 inch piece of memory wire, 8-7mm beads and a charms of your choice. I chose a small leaf for mine,<br />
<br />
Step 1. Cut a four inch piece of memory wire. Using your plyers, make a small round turn on one end of the wire. This keeps your beads from fall off.<br />

</div>Step 2. Place 4 beads on the wire, then place your charm. This will be the center of the ring as shown below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mHnojs14fIxMOMXhZ0pGUof2bMrSMIRDfJ6iuN2K_fGtd32fwouWpzLTVqlKmk3zaWjqLt1F6Fs1TjxuzNh6zjbh4ipJBf8qO_sIsY4-Rl1vrodB1Lnl8z9XYAwFUxaQ-9IgjZfN3bc/s1600/Etsy3+069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mHnojs14fIxMOMXhZ0pGUof2bMrSMIRDfJ6iuN2K_fGtd32fwouWpzLTVqlKmk3zaWjqLt1F6Fs1TjxuzNh6zjbh4ipJBf8qO_sIsY4-Rl1vrodB1Lnl8z9XYAwFUxaQ-9IgjZfN3bc/s320/Etsy3+069.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Step 4. Place remaining 4 beads on the wire. Next, take your plyers as before, and make a small turn on the wire to hold your beads in place. <br />
Step 5. With your fingers manipulate the wire into a round circle and, wala... you now have a charm that eaisly slips onto the glass stem.<br />

CLEOME FLOWER<br />
<br />
This beautuful flower is know to have grown on the plantation of Thomas Jefferson. It is also know as, Spider Flower. It is a delicate lavender, pink and white in color. It can grow up to 5 foot, but mine usually grows about 4 feet and is in part shade. You can winter sow them or plant in early spring. Once you get a start, you can let them self sow. They bloom for a long time in the summer.. <br />
<br />
I have already collected some seed and would like to share them with other gardeners. I am offering them for $1.00, plus a stamped, self addressed envelope. You will get about 100 seeds. Supplies are limited, so please email me first.<br />

Use 2 ply tissues and the color of your choice. I used white here because that's the color I had on hand. They look pretty alone, but you can use an opitional felt leaf glued to the back. Your imagination can go wild making these things but they are so much fun, and make quick flowers for any room of the house.<br />
<br />
<br />

Some materials you will need<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>You will need 2 ply facial tissue, thin wire, floral stem, floral tape, glue gun, sicissors and Opitional green felt for leaves if you decide to use them. <br />
<br />
Step one: Take a tissue and fold it acordian style.<br />
<br />
<br />

Step 2 Fold the folded tissue in half.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7OIwKSZkturzTjEtPScfhDchCcOe_l3KeMSeeBtkk5OeI4v1I1KUSAztQ2JtpQOjnIhAVxEIBkGipeAp8q6y-Z2BBHLLm5b-_FwpDQ2RQx5plGAOzE9A7BuZeGgA5A3mT1_sNpaVtVV8/s1600/KlexHafFlo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7OIwKSZkturzTjEtPScfhDchCcOe_l3KeMSeeBtkk5OeI4v1I1KUSAztQ2JtpQOjnIhAVxEIBkGipeAp8q6y-Z2BBHLLm5b-_FwpDQ2RQx5plGAOzE9A7BuZeGgA5A3mT1_sNpaVtVV8/s320/KlexHafFlo3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Step 3, Cut half folded tissue in a V shape on each side, being careful not to cut all the way through the tissue fold.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpyVY12wCBHyXA5Y9LuS-nTrjIflMzkz60vs41664X8s_em2iwTR63AJSnonjwTraByVKMJNsNUSFxJckKgmKNVkGTuuJie-7mKyZpIf5KPFkdceci1Dllgl8PZPlLkjnjcXBrsk0FB0E/s1600/KlexVee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpyVY12wCBHyXA5Y9LuS-nTrjIflMzkz60vs41664X8s_em2iwTR63AJSnonjwTraByVKMJNsNUSFxJckKgmKNVkGTuuJie-7mKyZpIf5KPFkdceci1Dllgl8PZPlLkjnjcXBrsk0FB0E/s320/KlexVee.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Step 4, Cut a piece of thin wire, and wrap tightly around the V cut. Leave a long tail on the wire to wrap around the floral stem later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0D2KaFUo-ZcrpjBRzDfkm2wsARwpvi6Wkr5p_BFdDg0E9bwmZDUScR5lh_Ag09Zy911LJCJxv0aFIlGGQ9ZjbE7Ahq0pg4rcdgowAIZ4hoDpTAQx76o6Wg9F1yeon9xkK5BFCECAr8I/s1600/KlexWireWrp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0D2KaFUo-ZcrpjBRzDfkm2wsARwpvi6Wkr5p_BFdDg0E9bwmZDUScR5lh_Ag09Zy911LJCJxv0aFIlGGQ9ZjbE7Ahq0pg4rcdgowAIZ4hoDpTAQx76o6Wg9F1yeon9xkK5BFCECAr8I/s320/KlexWireWrp.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Step 5, Next, cut the other end of the tissue in order to seperate the petals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDdIIwohyphenhyphenRJ53X0DXIUudklyPo_u1wdwnpuXN8WN2cbz7SPYhR6EMqYNnA6Q1clhj6ooLgCOqlhz6Xwo0oMJZxg8M1t8OStwReFom74m35FHuqibSIlLSTheGR_-N2WPTGsl13klJkjhU/s1600/KlexWirCut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDdIIwohyphenhyphenRJ53X0DXIUudklyPo_u1wdwnpuXN8WN2cbz7SPYhR6EMqYNnA6Q1clhj6ooLgCOqlhz6Xwo0oMJZxg8M1t8OStwReFom74m35FHuqibSIlLSTheGR_-N2WPTGsl13klJkjhU/s320/KlexWirCut.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Step 6, Now, gently pull the tissue plies apart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMPN0EfJe89lCxsytMxago03DToo7seXurx85DdXJVYOTHau2szHmrQROn8s1Q9Wyf3t0A8wiQXWabJ-sgT7gFQszabybtoVIjuVguWDlKOgRkGBT4Dv1l8jtrz14Tnf29f2Xzot7UIe8/s1600/KLexPull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMPN0EfJe89lCxsytMxago03DToo7seXurx85DdXJVYOTHau2szHmrQROn8s1Q9Wyf3t0A8wiQXWabJ-sgT7gFQszabybtoVIjuVguWDlKOgRkGBT4Dv1l8jtrz14Tnf29f2Xzot7UIe8/s320/KLexPull.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Step 7, After you gently pull apart all the tissue, fluff gently upward, and presto! Your flower is now ready to attach to the floral stem. You can now glue the opitional green felt leaf to the flower, or proceed to wrap the thin wire around the floral stem. Make a loop on the end of the floral stem after you wrap the thin wire to it. This helps the flower to stay in place. Then continue to wrap wire around the stem. You can cover the thin wire and floral stem with floral tape for a uniform look.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>You can add two or three flowers together to make a pretty arrangement. <br />
<br />

Step 8, Place flower arrangement into a pretty vase. I set mine on my bedroom night stand.<br />

These pickled peppers are quick and easy to make. They will be ready to eat in about 3 weeks. They are fantastic to serve with Mexican food, over greens, or pasta.<br />
<br />
You will need the following ingredients: 1 and 3/4 cups of vinagar, 3/4 cups of water, 1 teaspoon pickling salt, several green peppers and one red pepper for color.. You can grow your own peppers or buy them in the supermarket. You will need a measuring cup, sauce pan, teaspoon, clean quart mason glass jar with lid or a washed, glass pickle or jelly jar will do.<br />
<br />

Add teaspoon of pickling salt in the top of the jar. Do not use table salt, because the iodine in the salt will darken the peppers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Pour the heated vinagar and water mixture over the peppers into the jar. Then screw the lid tightly on the jar. Turn upside down a couple of times to distribute the salt.<br />

Just a little something to remember me by. Its a good way to recycle old greeting cards. You will also need, blank paper, ribbon, glue gun, stapler, paper cutter, ruler and some short prayers of your choice, for this project.<br />

<div>This picture was taken in Juliet, Georgia, home of the movie "Fried Green Tomato's,"<br />
<br />
It's a very good movie and if you haven't already saw it, I encourage you to do so.<br />
<br />
The theme of the movie and the thoughts of the movie goes well with this picture and the verses below.<br />
<br />
<br />
Looking at the vase of wilted roses, I think of friends of bygone days. They were my beautiful roses in life. Where have they wandered to? Have they gone astray, the ones I knew so long ago? Why did they go? Was it something I said or something I left undone or none of the above? Was it just a time for change, a time to try out new wings, new places, new scenes? Was it God’s time to show them something new? God may have saw something I did not see….Thier leaving may have been best for me, maybe thier hearts carried secret dark, evil thoughts toward me and hated me for the good I did for them. Maybe they did not deserve the love I lavished on them</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

<div>We are back in Myrtle Beach for the whole month of November. Hurricane Ida caused rain and blustery waves and wind a couple of days this week. It looks like the clouds are beginning to move out today.<br />
When you visit you want to make sure you visit the Egyptian Sphnix right outside the Hard Rock Cafe. Inside you can see full size statues of Pharohs, guitars and boots of famous people. <br />

Myrtle Beach has lots of consignment shops and a hugh flea market with mostly new things.<br />
A good place for all you can eat seafood is, The Big Crab, for only $20.00. It has everything you can think of and more, like prime rib and deserts out of this world. Look for the 3-5 dollar off coupons in the visitors guide, for an even better deal. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

My daughter gave me the neatest gift, a bobbin winder. It's fast and winds a bobbin in seconds without the use of a sewing machine.<br />
<br />
I bought several bobbins and filled them with my most used thread colors.<br />

<div>The picture above is of a live oak tree near Myrtle Beach, SC. I thought it was interesting that the tree looks very old and is growing along the ground as if it is crawling. It's dripping with grey Spanish Moss. </div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
Another place of interest was out in a deserted place, deep in the woods near the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Wacamaw</span> River. We had to take a jeep over rough <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">terrain</span> to get there. It was the old rice plantation site where Gov. Joseph Alston and his wife Theodosia Burr lived. She was the only daughter of Aaron Burr, vice president of the USA. </div><div><br />
The family cemetery was still on the property, in remarkable good shape. It was surrounded by a brick wall and black iron gate , built by the slaves. Gov. Alston and his eleven year old son are buried there with several other family members. Towering, Live Oaks Trees, surround the site. </div><div><br />
Our guide related the sad story about the Alston family. Theodosia and Joseph had only one son. When he was eleven years old he took sick and died with swamp fever, known now as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Malaria</span> fever. They were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">grief</span> stricken and Theodosia wanted to go grieve with her father in New York. Joseph figured the ocean would give her the safest passage since a war was going ,on land. </div><div><br />
Sadly her ship was lost at sea. They never knew what happened to Theodosia or the ship. Strangely, a hand painted color portrait of Theodosia washed up on the beach of Nags Head, SC. Where it came from, no one knows. Joseph died four years later in Charleston, SC. , they say of a broken heart. <br />
<br />
Someone wrote her biography. I read it and it is a very interesting read. You can purchase it online.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

<div>I thought this building was interesting. It's made of rusted tin. It's the famous, House of Blues Restaurant in Myrtle Beach, SC. I was surprised when I saw it, I was expecting some elaborate building from the way it was advertized. It has interesting shops to spend your money in.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">

With the recent outbreak of the Swine flue it is in our best interest to practice good hygiene. The notion was given hundreds of year ago in a book we call the Bible.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtXIe8ENB_AgiqDaaFS6VsrmYjpmbSDEg9Ng7pQbG4KOvgNrwLG1Q7WdztI693PGkN_gS1wQJIywU7HKvQWDIKwTcPc1ZU14xaRiYvKPmqlNQCYCfukA5_u81avlY9D8omiNqPUW2ipc/s1600-h/AlaskaRiver.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366287487336387842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxtXIe8ENB_AgiqDaaFS6VsrmYjpmbSDEg9Ng7pQbG4KOvgNrwLG1Q7WdztI693PGkN_gS1wQJIywU7HKvQWDIKwTcPc1ZU14xaRiYvKPmqlNQCYCfukA5_u81avlY9D8omiNqPUW2ipc/s320/AlaskaRiver.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 242px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
<br />
This photography of a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pristine</span> stream atop a mountain in Alaska seems to me to be so cold and sterile. I thought it would go well with this article.<br />
<br />
When the Black Plague was killing much of Europe prior the to Renaissance, desperate nations returned to the Old Testament laws of Moses and principles for dealing with diseases like leprosy, handling of the dead, and waste disposal. Quarantine is well understood today as a control of infectious disease, but it was given in the days of Moses as a command that had to be obeyed without people knowing why. It was poor waste disposal practices that led to the spread of the Black Plague but in about 1500 B.C., God’s law provided instruction regarding the burying of human waste. Even basic principles of sterilization, through burning and washing, were offered in the Biblical books of Numbers and Leviticus, but not formally recognized by the scientific community until the mid-1860s!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript">
