As I get ready every morning, I usually call my sister-in-law. Lately, however, God has been speaking to me about beginning my mornings with Him. So, I play praise and worship music every morning as I get ready for the day.
What a wonderful way to begin the morning - praising Jesus Christ, my LORD and Savior followed by a sisterly phone call! I hope you are blessed by this week's Saturday Song!
Sunday Slow Stitching
I'll be working on Prayer Shawl #7 today.
The recipient is a very special lady who is quite ill. Her faith is shaken - almost broken. I wonder, would you pray for her?
The pattern is in The Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion.
One Year of Stitches.
Not a lot of stitching was happening. My poor husband was sick and, though he's an easy patient, crafting took a back seat to him. After 14 years, we also had to put our poodle, Sammy, to sleep.
My #1yearofstitches looks about the same. You can follow my progress on my Instagram account. I'm considering restitching the red stitches. I experimented with the stem stitch, but it didn't come out as nice as I would have like.....
Did you notice the painting in the back of a Native American warrior? He is my reminder to pray for an extremely special young man in my life who is battling emotionally and spiritually.
Stash Report
I've purchased 1.5 yard cuts of each of Marsha's at Bernina Sewing and Design Shop reduced 30's and 40's prints.

Quillin Fiber Arts closed on Friday, so sad.
I've never crocheted with ribbon yarn, so I decided to give it a go with Deco-Ribbon (8.8 oz) by Crystal Palace Yarns. I found this red Cascades Sunseeker (3.5) quite by accident. When I got home, I realized they go together quite well, so I'll give it a shot - one day.... :)

I love reading and responding to them!
Adorable animal prints, beautiful yarns. So sorry about all the illness and sorrow for you this week. Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments! Yes, it's been hard, but thank God we still have Mia! She is getting quite spoiled! :)
DeleteBeautiful prayer shawl!
ReplyDeleteI was the recipient of a prayer shawl many years ago and I still use it and treasure it!
You never know how it might change someone's life!
Oh wow! That's an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing! I love making them....it helps me to fight cancer and other illnesses one stitch at a time. :)
Deleteyour purchases are all yummy. I appreciate your charitable heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maggie! I'm so glad God has given me the time and resources to give...much has been given to me, and I'm grateful to pass it forward....
DeleteThank you very much for this beautiful song. I have now added it to my favorites at my playlist at Spotify. I think I can understand your friends shaken/ broken faith. I`ll pray that she can feel that God carries her. I think about what the song / poem about the footsteps in the sand tells.
ReplyDeleteI just love the 30`s and 40`s prints fabric. They are so cute. :-)
Yes, Footsteps in the Sand blesses me and is an important reminder! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteMy stash numbers are terrible! But I am going to knit some bunnies for babies so maybe it will get better!
ReplyDeleteThere you go! Great attitude! I finally finished that shawl, so my numbers should get better. Would love to see your bunnies! What is the name of your blog? :)
DeleteLove that song. What a great way to start any day. I hope your husband is feeling better. I'm sorry to hear about Sammy. Sounds like there's a lot of praying and crocheting go on in your life right now. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a beautiful song - and an important reminder. Yes, he is feeling better, thank you. We miss Sammy, but are spoiling Mia as much as possible. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteThank you very much for this beautiful song. I have now added it to my favorites at Spotify. I think I can understand your friend with her broken faith. I pray that she must feel God carries her. I am thinking of the song / poem about the footsteps in the sand tells. I love the beautiful 30's and 40's fabric. They are adorable.:-)
