Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

I love J.I. Packer’s definition of ‘the modernist heresy’:

the newer is the truer,
only what is recent is decent,
every shift of ground is a step forward,
and every latest word must be hailed as the last word on its subject.

I made all of these bow ties to sell at the CCAD spring art sale on 16 april. If you’re in the Columbus area, come out and see me and maybe buy a tie!

Handmade buttonholes are one of my favorite things. But they are also one of the hardest things to make. This picture is delightful and inspiring.
