Blue Monday~Hydrangeas for Baby

Thank you again Sally for hosting Blue Mondays. Be sure to pop over and visit Sally and all of the others
participating in Blue Monday.


What do hydrangeas...

Babies...

and Blue Monday

have in common? I know it sounds crazy but this is what I thought as I was sewing on the last little flower...the colors in the yarn reminded me of some of the beautiful shades of hydrangeas.

       Available now in my Etsy Shop . Wish me luck!

~~Have a beautiful Blue Monday~~

This is my Father's World~Miracles

Please be sure to turn off my music playlist (at the bottom of my page) before listening to this
beautiful musical message..

A Prayer for Today...
Lord, I pray for an attitude that is Christlike. Whatever my circumstances, whether good or bad, triumphal or tragic,let my response reflect a God-honoring attitude of optimism, faith, and love for You.  Amen.

So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you.  Keep searching, and you will find.  Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.   Luke 11:9

Please join me and many others in celebrating Spiritual Sundays, hosted by Charlotte and Ginger. This week is in celebration of one wonderful miracle that has occurred and is being shared by many. It is a Miracle Blog Party celebrating  Colette's recovery from breast cancer.

Got to http://www.katillacshack.com/ on a very special makeover that was done just for Colette. For every comment made on  The Katillac Shack, Spiritual Sundays, Pink Saturday,Country Wings in Phoenix and
Facebook.com/guideposts, $1.00 will be donated by Design Gives Back, so that's $5.00 from each of us that leave a comment that will be donated to another "Miracle".


So grab a tissue, and be on your way to experiencing miracles of joy and hope.


For nothing will be impossible with God.  Luke 1:37

Be Calm, Feel Comfort and Joy!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and

petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

Take a moment, close your eyes and just breathe. Slowly, inhale and exhale. Be Still and just listen to
the music and be calm....Turn it all over to God without reservation.... whatever it is,  this very moment.

Calm and comfort will follow. It seems like a simple thing, but at times is so hard to do with the challenges
and stresses that come with life. All I  know is that when I have completely turned my problems, doubts and fears over to Him....I have actually felt  a calm, a comfort and joy... He is always there and knows our hearts and thoughts even before we do..

Thank you for joinng me for Then Sings My Soul Saturdays and my first Pink Saturday!

Please stop by and visit both of these blogs and their partcipants. 

Handmade Luxuries from a New Friend!

Look at these beautiful handmade soaps I received from a new blog friend Michelle of SierraSnowSoaps
Handmade soaps are one of those special little things that I really, really love! Having very sensitive skin, shea butter is so soothing and does not dry my skin out like most commercial soaps do.

I found Michelle through Link Referral, a service I have been using for a while. It is a great way to drive traffic to your site, boost your SEO rankings while reviewing other websites and blogs.

After leaving a comment on Michelle's blog, she left a review on my blog. We emailed back and forth and she told me about her friends' preemie, Mia. I was honored and excited that she chose me to make something for precious baby Mia. Michelle is posting about what she recieved from me for baby Mia today on her blog, too. What fun!!

Michelle makes these beautiful soaps from SNOW that she gathers from the Sierra Nevada mountains!

Read about her process and look at all the fabulous scents that she offers here on her site.

It was so hard for me to decide which scents I wanted. They all sound sooo mahvelous! I knew I wanted Lavender, since that is one of my favorites. Don't these sound (and look) delicious~Coconut Lime Verbena, Sunkissed Currant, Vetyver, Black Raspberry & Vanilla and Lavender!

Thank you so much Michelle for these gifts and most of all your friendship! I am continually amazed by the wonderful, dear friends I have made since blogging and selling my crocheted items online. The true gift is in the giving, but it certainly is fun to receive too! {wink-wink}♥

Have an amazing day, sweet friends~~
