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.

30's Playtime by Chloe's Closet for Moda
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.... :)

as I don't plan
to buy any more yarn
unless it is to
complete a project.
How are your stash numbers?
