We have been down with a virus that took quite a number of my family, friends and sisters in Christ out for about two weeks at a time. I had the miserable virus and it was not fun, so now I'm playing catch up with all the things to get done in a few weeks. I have all but a few gifts to finish up and stash around the apartment. The children come in to visit me, but it seems they always know where a new gift is put and check to see if there name is on it. Brianna asked if there names were on any of the packages, Mason answered for me, “Well no, she wouldn't put ours out yet!” to right mate.
I have been listening to Ill Divo like there music I find, also to Mercy Me, have set up a You Tube account just so I can view and save Video's I like. Especial the music one's as I can't buy any right now. When asked what I wanted for Christmas I told Bruce & Keith that they couldn't go wrong at Hobby Lobby cross stitch section, Machine Embroidery material etc. I am always in need of that.
Right now I'm busy stitching 80 book marks for March's Emmaus walk, I'll getter done, with each one being just a wee bit different. I'm also almost finished with the pattern for the 3rd and last banner to be made for my church. With God's help my hands will hold out till it's done. I hope that it is found pleasing in God's eyes, for it is being done for Him.
Well now remember that Quilts for Older Children has moved to Yahoo Groups and can be found there now. They have many older children and seniors in need of stitching love, so if your a cross stitch and should like to do something for someone else drop into each of the below charities.

The Angle Quilt Project is also a small part of the 1000 points of light the first President Bush spoke of. We have struggled for 8 years to keep this going. Some times coming so close to ending that it broke many of our hearts. There have been trials and tribulations through those 8 years. There have been deaths, births, sickness, and more sorrow's then I can count or speak of but we stuck together and kept stitching each piece filled with prayer and love. We thought of each family with a baby new born to this world fighting in there tiny cubes for every breath. We thought of each child laying in a hospital bed, some alone with no one but the doctor's and nurses to care so we cared along with those wonderful hospital staff, making quilts for them too, cuddle cushions each one filled with prayer and love. We have spent our own limited funds, thought of what we could do with out to help gett the supplies needed and did it. We have begged for donations from friends, family local stores and kept on stitching. Finisher across the world kept on making the quilts, the cuddle cushions and kept on keeping on. I tell you this with a sorrowful heart knowing we are in serious financial trouble. Just like all of those through out the world in pain over the loss of jobs we too need help. We can't go to the government for a bail out so we hope someone who might drop into this Blog will check out our sight, our yahoo group page, or picture trails mine is http://www.picturetrail.com/claudia55 to see what we do.
