This is for my mom, dad and their friend Nancy...

...it's also for all the women out there who have or have had, or know women who have or have had cancer.

In the back of my mind, I'm thinking of a pillow panel that would incorporate fun flowers, the pink ribbon and a big heart all created out of varying shades of pink wool applique.

It could be a gift for someone you know. For yourself. How about for someone you don't even know? What a way to brighten up a cancer patient's day?

Should it have an envelope on the front like the panel Seasons of Blessings (in the first post)? I had someone tell me that when they found out they had cancer, it was a blessing, because it made them realize the important things in life. The REALLY, REALLY, important things...family and friends.
Not how clean her home was or wasn't. Not how much money she did or don't have. But that she had her family and friends, and that she'd made new friends and was able to be a blessing to them.

Wow! Courage.

So...I want to know what flowers you think would symbolize courage, hope and strength? I want to hear from women who have had cancer and what would cheer them up.

Please share....you don't know whose life you may bless.

It could be Nancy's.

Life a little Batty?

Sometimes it can seem like one day things are normal, and overnight, your life turns BATTY! 

What do you do?

 Pray! 

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues 

them from all their troubles. 

Psalm 34:17

That's where Prayer Pets come in handy! For those batty days. Or for that matter, those friends whose lives have gone batty....flitting from one stinging problem to another. Bats are great at eating that which bugs them. 

Like those pesky mosquitoes. 

This wool pattern comes complete with a little bit of sonar so that bat can seek out that which is bothersome. And while you're making bat, pray, stitch by stitch for the pesky problems of life to to be "eaten" by Someone much larger than ourselves. Or for your friend for that matter.  

The pattern is $9.00 plus shipping. Contact me by calling 402-376-2719 or e-mailing fearnotpatternco@yahoo.com

Help someone cope with the battiness of their life!!

Harvest Goodness

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

At this time of year, we're out in our yards getting ready for summer with the coolness of spring surrounding us. Maybe you've had rain in your area. Some areas are in HUGE need of rain and are so thankful. And that's what spring is all about anyway...seeds sprouting, wind, uncertain weather, and mud.


But...you can always let the mud dry and vacuum it up, and when it's windy and rainy, what better place to be than inside the house working on a project.


Here's a project called Harvest Goodness that is made from wool and cotton fabrics. All the time in the world goes into the fields, preparing a bounty for fall harvest. So, why not begin a project now that can be complete by harvest?
