Sorry y’all, I’ve been sick the last several days and just want to sleep.

Most likely NEED to sleep to get better.

We talk next week.

My post from June 30 mentioned a funny Bible thing I had read, but subsequent posts tended toward not feeling well enough to make posts and so I forgot.

HOWEVER!

I do randomly go back and read some of my own posts and I was reminded.

Thus, the funny Bible thing!

Background info- I’m doing a Bible journal this year (still undecided if I like it) and it has me bouncing from Old to New Testament.

This is why the funny happened!

One week I’m reading about Elijah and Elishah when it was Elijah’s time to go. Elishah refused to leave him and so followed him until Elijah (most likely hearing from God) tells Elishah to ask for anything and if he sees when God takes Elijah into heaven, whatever he asked for will be his.

Elishah does in fact see when God takes Elijah into heaven, is massively blessed as he’d asked, and goes back to tell other prophets who’d been waiting.

The other prophets, after hearing Elishah’s accounting, ask if they can go and look for Elijah on the surrounding mountain tops…

Why?

Why would they ask that? Do you know how weird that was to read and I reread it because I thought I’d misunderstood.

Anyways, he finally relents and lets them take a look. Of course they don’t find anything because God took Elijah up into heaven.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I’m now reading in Acts when Paul is told by God to go preach to a caravan in the middle of the desert.

He goes, does a good job and even baptizes the leader of the caravan!

THEN GOD PICKS PAUL UP AND DROPS HIM OFF IN A CITY MILES AWAY!!!

Those prophets, apparently, had a reason for asking what they did.

Exactly how many times has God just picked someone up and dropped them off somewhere that in the Old Testament that’s the first thing the prophets thought of?

Can you imagine?

I am still gobsmacked and amused by that discovery!

Read the Bible y’all, cause it’s got some funny stuff in it!

I’ve been thinking about changing up my schedule for posts.

I wonder if it would be better not to inundate people every single week. Give them a chance to contemplate my fabulous craftyness.

Bears further thought I suppose.

We shall see!

Have a fantastic week everyone!!

Sorry y’all, I completely forgot to make a post for today.

I’ll try to make it up next week!

I am apparently experiencing a reading slump.

Could be depression related since I get depressed when I’m over weight (and I’m not only overweight atm but I’m having SUCH a hard time losing weight because of medication I’m on), and I also haven’t been feeling like doing crafty things.

But didn’t you just do a crafty thing a couple weeks ago you may be wondering.

I did.

And I enjoyed myself!

Yet here I am.

*le sigh*

My solution to the reading slump is to read 1 chapter a piece of multiple books. I’ve done it before and it’s helped because at least one book will be captivating enough that I’ll want to read the whole thing.

This means I have about 10 books, not including the Bible since that’s a whole year read thing, that I’ll be reading at the same time.

We shall see how this works y’all!

I’ll let you know about any good ones!

Ciao!

Soooo tired today.

No idea why cause I had a good nights sleep.

I’ll post next week, sorry!

I’ll post next week, sorry!

I had a genius idea while in the bathroom (because that’s where all good ideas happen) and decided to test it.

Thankfully I still had enough tiny bookshelves (I also finally completed my tiny book collection!! Just in time for the second series to come out lol!) to experiment with.

I knew they stacked, I just wasn’t sure if they stacked without the base.

They do!

Next problem was how to use the shelf still and since it fit almost perfectly I took off the piece that usually clicks into the opening and makes the base.

Prototype!

I had to make sure the spacing was right of course before gluing. I actually marked up my metal ruler for this.

I’m not sure how, but some of the bases (middle line) would have clicked into place.

I’d already cut them all, but good to know for next time!

I almost made the mistake of using other non-cut pieces. Thankfully I realized that would be a waste since the I need those for other things.

Even though they wouldn’t click into place anymore, I did use the cut ones for the entire thing.

Everything that I had matched into possibly fitting!

The black strips on the side are for the cover/door. I needed a little more space for the ones with plates and the magnet strips gave me that space.

I might try hinges next time and use modeling clay to bump it out.

I love experimenting!

EVERYTHING (except one Halloween drink) fit!!!

I know the picture isn’t that good, but it took a little longer than I thought.

I have an another genius idea for the longer items I have (platters, trays, etc…), but I really need to finish the last of my scrapbook before getting into another crafty thing.

It’ll also involve buying more craft supplies and I’m really trying to use up what I have first.

Although, I’ve had another idea for crafty storage that may do the trick for my room…

We shall see.

Hope y’all enjoyed these tiny adventures into crafting!

Next week may be a Bible one because I just read something SO funny and feel like sharing. I just didn’t want to postpone this one again.

Don’t forget to pray because God is DEFINITELY listening!

My site is being weird and I’m concerned it’s going to eat my post.

Still not completely done with crafty from two weeks ago, but almost!

Will post pics soon!

I was going to post this week about the crafty thing I’m doing, but I’m not quite done.

I’m technically close enough I could do a two part post about it and be okay.

I decided not too though because the entire thing is fabulous and should be enjoyed all at once!

Ta!
