Yesterday I was at church all day putting up Christmas decorations. Our little church is off and away in the countryside and along the dark country road many cars whiz by hardly noticing our little building. Of course there is a light on the cross during the year but at Christmastime we really let our light shine by putting up lots of lights! Probably a lot of people driving down the dark road come across this oasis of light during the winter season and remark "Say, there's a church way out here!" At least that's what we hope. Official lighting is this coming Sunday so I'll try to get a nighttime picture.
"You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world...
... shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives."
Matthew 5: 14,16 Message Bible

So, with no picture from that I'll show you what I put up on my door this week. Actually it is the same wreath I've had up there for a month but I took off the Halloween decorations and made felt balls to stick here and there instead. Still trying to get "God-colors" into the winter months! Someone had given me a big bag of colored wool for felt making and so I tried to recall the way you do this project. Hot water and detergent is what I remember and then you roll the wool in your hands and squeeze and push and prod until the fibers entangle themselves. My balls sort of clumped rather than come out round so I did something wrong but for this purpose it is forgivable.Ok. I'm off for the day!

your balls turned out fine for this project! They add a real spark of colour... The trick I learned for getting round balls rather then clumps was to start with a small amount of fiber, and roll it until it started to felt, then add a little more and so on...
That passage from the Bible was always the one that stood out for me as a child long before I became a Christian! I just wanted to leave a message to let you know that I have put a link to your blog on my most recent post with a link to the post you wrote on May 30th about "A long walk". It has stayed in my mind since then. I hope you don't mind me linking to you. Lucy x
Your wreath is so pretty. It looks primitive in a sense. I love the color the felt balls brings to it. Did you make the basic wreath or buy it? Very pretty.
Your Biedermeier is very very nice.
ciao ciao
