Wishing Everyone Thanksgiving Blessings...

Our family will be together, almost. Our eldest son, Mike will not be able to attend...so sad as he will be missed.  

Our Special Sandy will be able to be with us.  She will not be returning to the home where she was being kept under political protocol, which will soon be the demise of America as we knew it....not allowing us to visit for more than 30  minutes outside not in the home, not able to enjoy our brought in lunch together and of course face masks at ALL times. My younger and brilliant daughter,Pam, Sandy's big sister was able to acquire a NED voucher allowing Sandy to live in a place of our choice and close to family.  NOW, if this pandemic just goes away and allows us our freedom, that will truly be a BLESSING.

For now I'd like to wish all,

 Great Thanksgiving Tidings of JOY and PEACE...

Barbara and Sandy

HAPPY FALL

I am very Happy to say that Fall is here.

Our summers have been mostly over 100 and windy,

which accounts for all the forest fires we have encountered.

Summer was my favorite but NO MORE.

I love the Autumnal colors, and cooler days. 

"Bat wings for Jack" may be one on my last creations.  

I have many sketches but due to hands that are becoming more arthritic, I am unable to execute some of my ideas.  

PLUS, once again we are attempting

to sell our home and move to be closer to family.

I hate moving, but I need to be closer to my children and Grandchildren these days.

This leaves me with very little time to do what I enjoy.

Perhaps, once we get moved and settled, I can resume those pleasures.

I have visited many of you, checking in and leaving no comments.

For now, I wish America and All Health, Safety and Happiness..

God Bless us Everyone,

Barb

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY ... GOD BLESS AMERICA

We always fly our 'Betsy Ross Flags'... Hope everyone has a Blessed and Patriotic Day.

My "EASTER LAMB"

It has been a while since my last post.  

Just wishing you all a Happy Easter with Blessings for ALL.  Keep healthy and safe.  

The times are really changing and I am at a loss for words.

This is till on my frame and working on the pattern with instructions.

Finding it difficult to get motivated for much of anything. 

Here is my most recent 'Punch Needle' design, in  time for Easter.

The Easter Lamb, representing Christ, with the flag of victory ... 

Eggs are symbols of the Risen Christ. As a chick breaks the shell when it is hatched and begins life, so Our Lord comes forth... 

The Pink Tulips are a classic flower of love and joy. 

 It will be framed... in a day or so, 

in time for the Easter celebration without our family togetherness this year.

I am saddened beyond belief...

Back to Selling our Home, still Praying for our Sandy's healing and now Praying for the world...

...God Bless us everyone...

Prayer to Trust in Divine Mercy

Most merciful Jesus,
I turn to You in my need.
You are worthy of my complete trust.
You are faithful in all things.
When my life is filled with confusion, give me clarity and faith.
When I am tempted to despair, fill my soul with hope.

Most merciful Jesus,
I trust You in all things.
I trust in Your perfect plan for my life.
I trust You when I cannot comprehend Your divine Will.
I trust You when all feels lost.
Jesus, I trust You more than I trust myself.

Most merciful Jesus,
You are all-knowing.
Nothing is beyond Your sight.
You are all-loving.
Nothing in my life is beyond Your concern.
You are all-powerful.
Nothing is beyond Your grace.

Most merciful Jesus,
I trust in You,
I trust in You,
I trust in You.
May I trust You always and in all things.
May I daily surrender to Your Divine Mercy.

Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy,
Pray for us as we turn to you in our need.
