Update re prayers

Just wanted to update you all that the family I requested prayers for last week, the Dad passed away this morning.  Please continue to keep this young family and extended family and friends in your prayers as they deal with their loss and for God to uplift and sustain them in the time to come. Thanks.

A call for prayers

This is a request to those who read my blog for some prayers for a young family from my church who are facing a huge struggle at this time.  They are a young couple in their 30's with twins who are around 3 years of age and a 5 month old.  The father last year was diagnosed with bowel cancer which had spread thoughout his body.  He underwent chemotherapy, but has just received the news that he perhaps has only weeks to live.  My church has been praying for he and his family since his diagnosis but I have had it on my heart to put a call out to my overseas and interstate friends and readers of my blog to keep this family in their prayers also.

Thanks

More Happy Mail

Today I received the quilt from the ALQS which I participated in earlier this year and posted a photo of the quilt I sent.  The most lovely Hawaiian style mini quilt from Cathy in the US.  I also received some fabric and fabric postcard...thanks...love them all!

Softies

Another work colleague is having a baby soon, so I made one of Melly and Me's "Mrs Perkins" giraffe....I love making these softies and thought I would take a photo of it enjoying the garden!

Another Little Quilt Swap

Over the past few years I have participated in a swap run from the UK.  We each make a small quilt, send a photo and then participans list their favourites and eventually we receive a lovely mini quilt.  This is what I made, which has been sent to its recipient...hopefully it will arrive soon, and I am really looking forward to my own surprise package.

HAPPY MAIL

I have recently participated in a Mug Rug Swap and today I received my special package.  I not only received two lovely Mug rugs, but also a lovely tiny pincushion, two decorative pins, a chocolate and a lovely card from the area of my swap partner.  Here are a couple of photos...thanks so much Ulla.

Baby present

One of my work colleagues is leaving to have a bub soon and we are having a morning tea for her tomorrow.  I made this change mat which also holds some wipes and a couple of disposable nappies.

It folds very compactly to carry...
