Gifts from my Heart ~

my 1st knitted Prayer Shawl

for

a former neighbor

suffering from

cancer

Blessed by Father John

St.Mary's Catholic Church

delivered to her 5 daughters

who are by her bedside.

the color looks blue/green,

but is a soft sage green

which they said

was her favorite color!

my prayers and love

knitted into every stitch

to comfort her

in God's loving arms.

my memory of her

will be her covered

with my love in yarn

a 3-stitch cross design

knit into each end .

3-stitches:

the Father,

the Son, &

the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

~NOW, WHERE ARE MY 'STICKS' & 'STRING' ??!!!

Gifts from my Heart ~

on one of our 3 trips to Europe

it rained while we were in

VENICE, italy

so, i bought an umbrella in

St.Mark's square!!

then, yrs later,

after many years of use,

my umbrella suffered a

broken 'arm'...

i was in my 'teddy bear'-making phase

so,

i disassembled the momento

from VENICE

and

made my self a nylon 'teddy'!!

oblivious to water,

she sits on my tub corner!!

a present to myself...
