Armadillo, fox, porcupine, jackrabbit, and deer are leading the critter parade. The twelve napkins will include the most common, the most interesting, and the most unusual animals that visit our backyard here in Texas Hill Country. The white-tailed deer are the most common, by far.
This white-tailed buck is one that Steve photographed on our property. I use Affinity Designer on my computer to turn a photo into a silhouette that I can use for my drawloom chart. It is a thrill to see the image emerge in the threads on the loom. From animal in our yard, to photo, to graphic chart, to threads on the loom! The common is made extraordinary.
Even more extraordinary is what our Lord Jesus does with a common human like you or me who puts faith in him. As you look at the threads on his loom, you begin to see that it is his image being woven in you.
May your days be extraordinary.
Happy New Year,
Karen
It is exciting to follow the process. Half way now? Heard a poem once that told about how God weaves the light and dark parts in our lives, but it is when the cloth finally is taken from the loom that we see the whole picture.
Take care.

Hi Ida! One more, and we’ll be half way.
The poem you mention (or one like it) was written in the back pages of a Bible someone gave me when I became a follower of Jesus in 1972. That was long before I had any hint of weaving in my life. I’ve always remembered the significance of the poem, that God knows what He is doing even when we don’t see it.
Thank you,
Karen
