Gentle Readers,
You may have noticed that effective today, I have changed the heading for my blog. "Light in the Making" will remain for the foreseeable future.
Darkness has descended over a large portion of North America, as a result of...well...a lot of things -- but mainly, the "what's in it for me?" and "what will this do for me?" approach to life adopted by so many.
I have decided to resist this approach to living my life, and invite all who are willing, to join me.
I have decided that there is not only life in the work of our hands, but also light, so I am going forward with determination that what I create will -- I hope -- support that notion.
My intensions are these:
- To create beauty every day;
- To share that beauty with others here on my blog and in person with those around me;
- To create items not only of beauty but also of warmth and comfort; and
- To share those items with those who may need them the most.
My mantra will be this: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it" -- a paraphrase of John 1:5.
I hope you will find your own light, and let it shine in the darkness around you, wherever you are.

This was a lovely post. I will hopefully be joining you in my little corner of the world.
P.S. Oddly my account is still showing as no reply, but if you click on my icon to my profile, my email address is there.
A good renaming and goal for your blog. I so agree. I’ve never been able to create ‘dark’ art but it’s even more important now.
I’ve been having some trouble with panic attacks and nightmares. I need to stay focussed.
Beautiful post! I agree with everything you say and one of my recent quilt finishes, “Stormy Weather: Shine A Light “, echoes your sentiments exactly! (gladiquilts.net)
I'm here in rural South Carolina, surrounded by the darkness and trying my best to create artwork that shines with hope and light! Thanks for reading my blog and especially for leaving a comment!
