The Bomber Cap

Spiritual -  Since Divine wisdom is a perfect knowledge of everything, there is nothing new it can learn because it sees everything in an eternal present.  "The very hairs of your head are numbered"  (Mt 10,30)  During prayer time this morning I read this from my favorite prayer book, Divine Intimacy,  "God knows us much better that we know ourselves; the most secret movements of our hearts, even those which escape our control, are perfectly manifest to Him.  Let us ask Him for the grace to know ourselves in His light, in His eternal truth."  A priest told me once, during confession, not to concentrate so much on my faults, but on my virtues.  This last line helped me to finally understand what he meant.  If I could only see myself in His light, in His eternal truth, I probably would love myself and others more and sin against myself and others less.  Thank you,  Holy Spirit, for that revelation.






Sewing -  I made the pattern for this little cap when Liam, now 7, was one years old.  It was a cross between an antique pattern and a cap from a box of family heirlooms.  I've been wanting to produce a pattern of this cap, but needed to make sure I had the proper sizing  for today's child. I have been making and selling this cap for several years and I think I have the sizing down for a pattern.  Maybe soon. The chin strap and folded brim reminds me the leather "bomber's" cap of the old war movies.   The first one I made was navy corduroy and I made a double breasted jacket to go with it.  Liam was so adorable in it and wore it for 2 years.  I'll have to put it in the shop til the next grandson comes along.
