Calligraphy - first attempts

I'm so terrible at this! Not sure I'm getting any better - actually, I think the attempts are getting worse, but I sure am enjoying myself so I'll probably continue creating these wonderful/terrible little scraps. Didn't plan them out, and used an ink pen, so... yeah, no do-overs here. Might start using pencil to plan the page out a bit better. It's hard to determine where the curly bits go - that and I obviously need to take a look at some reference material. I mean, do I even know what a capital "S" looks like?

"God, be merciful to me, a sinner!" Luke 18:13 - calligraphy - JFleming 2016

Attempt number one... was looking at something from here earlier in the day that obviously inspired this.

"Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth." Colossians 3:2 - calligraphy verse - JFleming 2016

Attempt number 2

"Let anyone who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12 - calligraphy verse - JFleming 2016

Last attempt... looked ok till "stands"... lots of room for improvement here, huh?

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
