Mr Bone Jangles is home

I had the pleasure of taking Mr.Bone Jangles to his new home with the chiropractor.

I walked in her office and Nikki said "What is that?"
I turned it around and said "Thank you for taking care of my daughter?"

Her immediate response was...... "SHUT UP! REALLY? NO WAY!"

She was so happy and her face was blood red.
She could not believe that I made Mr Bone Jangles for her. She even said the color of the material is the color of her walls.

NIKKI,
I am so happy that you love Mr Bone Jangles! Thank you for all you do.

It is reactions like this that makes stitching gifts for others more than worth it.

Praising God!

I am PRAISING GOD for His wonderful loving arms!

I had a close call tonight..... I was driving home alone and was almost in a head on collision.

This had more of an effect on me than it would have on most people.

The reason I say that is because when I was 7, I was in a head on collision.
There was only 15 inches between the windshield and the front bumper left.
I watched in horror as the two vehicles collided.

So there for when it was time for me to learn to drive as a teen.... I could not.
I dealt with mental issues and flashbacks for years.

It was not until last February that I got my license at the age of 38.

So tonight when this near miss happened with God by my side.
I was calm and seemed to be totally at peace until it was over.
I kept repeating over and over, Thank you God, Thank you God!
I immediately had to pull over and was then hysterical.

After calling my mother to help me calm down I drove slowly home.
Still continuing to say over and over, Thank you God, Thank you God!
When I got home my whole body was shaky and had to get a huge hug from my husband.

I still am not totally calm and it has been over an hour and a half.

Please keep me in your prayers that.... when tomorrow comes I can get back behind the wheel and know it will all be ok.

As Promised

Several have wondered how Mr Bone Jangles is coming along.

Here he is.... just need to do his legs and shoes now.

I cannot wait to see him finished so I can give him to the lucky recipient.

My first finish

My first finish of 2011 is a small that is part of the Oakhaven Designs 2011 SAL.

The colors of the piece did not come out right with every picture I tried to take. The color of the material is 28count Navy blue.

Time to get back to Mr Bone Jangles.

We will miss you RENE!

Rene, We will miss you and your love of needlework.

May God hold you in His arms until we all get our chance to see you again!

Praying for peace and comfort for your family!

Thank you to Mel for allowing me to use the pic she created from Rene's stitching.
