Dovetail Hoodie

I created this top with the idea of a funky, warm and comfortable coat with a hoodie, as a top layer over my other clothes.  At first it was so long that it touched the ground.  After one day of wearing it, I realised that I had to change the style.   Even though I did not mind the 'Muslim' inspired look, as that was where I got the idea to begin with, this one was not warm enough and I kept stepping on the seam.

Dancing for joy!

Psalm 149:3

'Sing to the Lord a new song.

Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.

O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.

PRAISE HIS NAME WITH DANCING,

ACCOMPANIED BY THE TAMBOURINE AND HARP.

For the Lord delights in his people;

he crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the faithful rejoice in his honor...'

The power of influence

While I was babysitting a little girl, I realised once again what influence we as adults have on children.  While we were playing, she wanted to do some colouring in.  First she showed me a picture that her other babysitter coloured in for her; then she wanted me to colour in a picture for her.  I do not mind colouring in at all, but something got me thinking.  Why is she asking everyone else to colour in her pictures, and why does she not try it for herself?  Fair enough she is only 3 years old, and can probably not colour in like I can, but I thought she should give it a go.
Only then did I realise why she did not want to do it.  She was scared of going over the lines.  As a 3 year old that would be inevitable.

Turns out her teacher is somewhat strict
