I’ve Been Carded meme

Captain's Log, Stardate 12.22.2007

Ronie Kendig altered this CARDED meme to include a Spiritual Wish list so we can know how to pray for each other, both spiritually and physically. Isn’t that a great idea?

THE RULES:

1. Each player starts with 5 gifts that they would want for Christmas.
2. People who are "CARDED" need to write their own Blog about their 5 things & post these rules.
3. At the end of your Blog, you need to choose 5 people to get "CARDED" and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a COMMENT telling them they're "CARDED", and to read your Blog.

My Materialistic Gift/Wish List:

1. Another contract or two
2. The Robotech DVD collection. I loved this series when I was growing up!
3. A recumbent exercise bike. My old one has a weird seat that angles forward, and it’s causing havoc on my back.
4. A drip water system for my plants
5. An Alphasmart Neo

My Spiritual Gift/Wish List:

1. Discipline to eat smaller portions, stop snacking so much, and exercise every day.
2. Spend more time in prayer
3. Writing discipline and not getting distracted from my daily word count.
4. Trust in God to provide for us financially
5. Peace, patience, love, and wisdom for the Genesis contest.

The people I have carded (in alphabetical order):

1. Ausjenny
2. Christina Berry (I hope her surgery went well!)
3. Mary Connealy
4. Pamela James
5. Cheryl Wyatt

Camy, color me clueless here, but is "carding" a meme the same as "tagging"? I've not seen this term before and my curious brain just had to ask.
Elysa said…
Oops...I just realized that for some reason the above comment which was really from ME got signed in as from my daughter. She will NOT be pleased to be portrayed as such a ditz on your blog. Oh well...

And after posting that I also realized that I guess its pretty obvious that "carded" and "tagged" are synonyms. Can I blame it on being out past midnight Christmas shopping last night and then being up late tonite doing laundry so my kids have the required clean clothes for tomorrow's (actually, by now TODAY'S) church Christmas prgm?

However I spread it, I'm just a scatterbrain at times and lack of sleep doesn't make that noggin work any better. Sigh...

Off to turn off the dryer and get in bed!

Merry Christmas, Camy! And I hope you get all those wishes this year. :)
I put it up! I wrote the post while on drugs so I hope it makes some sense.

:-)

I put mine up too and as i am still working out how to blog it was interesting there has got to be an easier way to post than what i did.
now to work out how to make it pretty and add things.

Your spiritual giftlist - I could have written it myself. All of the items.

Anyway, I already received the book you sent me. Thanks. I know it will be few years from now that I can really relate to it, but I'm glad that I have a guide on how to deal with a teenager.

At this very moment my mother is reading the book and she might have gotten a thing or two there - the funny thing is, everyone of us (her children) is past that "teen" years already.

Have a blessed New year, Camy!

Michael’s Scarf knitting pattern

Michael’s Gray and Brown Scarf I had just written a scene in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner where my character Michael gives the heroine a very significant scarf. When looking for a stitch pattern, I found the one used in “#31 Comfort either for a Lady or Gentleman” in The Lady's Assistant , volume 2 , published in 1842 by Mrs. Jane Gaugain, pages 125-126 (click on the link to view and/or download the free PDF of the digitally scanned book). When I did test swatches, it turned out to be a pretty eyelet pattern that looks like branches or vines winding upward. I tried the pattern as a parallelogram scarf and discovered that the pattern has a changeable orientation, looking vertical or diagonal depending on how you looked at it. So I decided to use this pattern, knitted as a parallelogram, as Michael’s scarf. I decided to use a smaller needle and add a slip stitch in the pattern to make the eyelets a bit more close and less lacy. When paired with a brown an

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Hosea 14:2

Lord Jesus, Thank You that we can freely come directly to You and pray to You. Thank You that You died for our sins on the cross and we can be forgiven. “Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips.” We praise and thank You, Lord, for how wonderful You are. We lift our hearts to You in praise today. Amen 主イエスよ、私たちが自由にあなたに直接近づき、あなたに祈ることができることを感謝します。あなたが十字架で私たちの罪のために死んでくださり、私たちが赦されることを感謝します。「私たちのすべての罪を赦し、私たちを慈しみ深く受け入れてください。」主よ、あなたがどんなに素晴らしい方であるかを賛美し、感謝します。私たちは今日、賛美のうちにあなたに心を捧げます。 アーメン

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th
