What a wonderful evening in The Parlor! Every thing was clicking and every one was excited.
New Shawls and Afghans: The evening opened with prayers over the new shawls and afghans that were completed. Through our prayers, God fills these items with His spirit so they become physical expressions of His love. It’s such a blessing to have the talent to turn fiber into a gift of joy for someone in need.
New Members: Three new members were in attendance last night and are on the membership list. Please welcome Linda, Susan, and Ellen. Linda and Susan crochet and Ellen knits. Ellen is a prior recipient of a Prayer Shawl. It was wonderful to see Carleen, the person who made Ellen’s shawl, and Ellen meet last night for the first time.
New Patterns: If your creative juices need a boost, new patterns are available in the yellow packet in the yarn bin. Ellen brought in three completed baby hats that are knitted and look like little ski hats. She also talked about having the yarn and patterns for hats made out of fuzzy yarn that looks like hair for people going through chemo. She no doubt would share the hat patterns with any one who is interested.
New Yarn: Whitney brought in additional yarn that has been donated to our ministry. Much of the yarn is Softee Baby yarn, so if making baby hats is of interest to you, we have several skeins now.
New Blog: Robin has the Wednesdays in The Parlor blog site up and it looks great. If you haven’t visited it, or haven’t received your invitation to it, please e-mail Robin. You’ll enjoy the quote of the day, the pictures of the shawls, and the posts. It’s a great way to keep in touch with other members.
New Year: 2009 has gotten off to a great start. We’re blessed to be touching so many lives with our efforts – both those in need and those of us providing service. We continue to think of more ways to touch lives. Keep your heart open to God’s voice for other ways we can serve.
Blessings,
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
