All Together Now . . .

For a few days we had them all at home. We are blessed...

Block #2

Melanie has her block now so I can show the whole thing. AsI said in my previous post, Melanie wanted a cross block so, this is what I came up with.  It’s made from this pattern with a few modifications including size (thank you dear lady for doing the math for me!) You can see all of Melanie’s lovely cross blocks on the VQB Flickr site...

Homecoming

The Nativity of Mary

Thy birth, O Virgin Mother of God, heralded joy to all the world. For from thou hast risen the Sun of justice, Christ our God.

For from thou hast risen of Sun of justice, Christ our God. ­ from The Divine Office – Matins (Morning Prayer) Women for...

Out of Touch

Our phone line is down which also means internet. The phone company can’t send someone out until Thursday so if you e-mail me please be patient.  I am periodically checking my e-mail on my laptop at Panera or other free wifi spots around but for the most part I am disconected.  Of course I have my cell so if you know my number and need me you can get me that way. Honestly I am rather enjoying this lack of...

Prayers please
