August Notes

We are now halfway through August already and it seems the year sure has been flying by.  So are the days of longer daytime hours ☀️ that will begin to dwindle more and more as time goes by.  🥲 😟😩
Kids are going back to school already too, where has the summer gone?  

​Our summer has been busy with some craft shows, a festival, inventory at the store in Elbow Lake, helping a friend and for Warren some fishing and working.

After a very long pause we actually have a music event coming up where we will have one hour set to play.  So I'm cramming and practicing!!  It's kinda scary when you try to play one of the songs you've written and you can't remember quite how it goes because it's been way too long....   However, it's coming together....

NOTESNBLING:
​

It's been an absolute honor to create some simple pearl necklaces for gifts for ladies who attended a ladies retreat in Fosston, MN, where I also had the opportunity to lead worship for the group.  It was such a fun and educational time.

Here are some items I've been working on:

White Beach Glass Beads on Knotted Leather with handmade closure & dragonfly charm
White Beach Glass beads on knotted leather with handmade closure and feather/bead/leather drop
Amazonite "Diffuser" bracelet with lava stone
"Aztec" Cat Charm Keychain with English Cut Czech Beads, Crystal & Rondelles.
"Aztec" Cat Charm Keychain with Czech English Cut Beads, Crystal and Rondelles
My beach glass knotted leather necklaces have always been a popular item for the last couple years or so.  This time I needed to re-stock some more neutral colors and chose white for the beach glass beads and a sandy grey brown leather representing the beach for the necklace part.  The hoops were I placed the dangle drops and charms on are handcrafted and hammered.
​The bracelet is one of many new Ammonite bracelets you can use with essential oil drops on the lava beads.  The bracelets are sturdy stretch cord.
Lastly the keychains are just too cute and the cat charms are a special buy I have found.  Once they are gone...they are gone and only those two shown above are left.
​
LASTLY:

So at the ladies retreat we learned biblical symbolisms and one of them was the pearl - hence the pearl necklaces I had created for everyone attending.
Pearls symbolize beauty and salvation.  Isaiah 61:10 - I delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
The pearl also symbolizes value and prosperity:  Matthew 13:45-46 - Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

MUSIC!
This coming Saturday should be a very nice day, so come on out to Wilson Park in St. Cloud and see us if you don't have any plans.  
Below is the poster for the lineup that day.  We are on fairly early from 10-11.

​Until next month... keep your eyes fixed steady upon the Lord to remain in peace in this crazy world.

In HIs grace,
​Sam

    Psalm 100 Scripture
    1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
    2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.
    3 Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
    4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
    5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
