Breaking Day



Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world


Songwriters: Eleanor Farjeon / Yusuf Islam

Two Loops Short



... of six potholders = five potholders.

Nevertheless, we love the colors in this refill set of craft loops, available at Walmart for ~$5.

Note: The synthetic loops work up much smaller and thinner than the cotton loops from Harrisville Designs. (Both potholders in the image have 36 loops each, and were woven on the same loom. Left: cotton; right: synthetic).

By the way, the pattern for these two potholders is "Weave II" in Harrisville Design's Potholder Wizard.
