UPDAKE: A Spring Sampler ~ 2011 has been updated

Dear Stitchers,

My apologies to those of you who’ve already downloaded,  A Spring Sampler.  I noticed that the symbol for DMC White and the symbol for DMC 210 were the same, so I fixed it and posted the corrected version. 

Happy Stitching!

A Powerful Prayer Against Storms

We have been praying for all people, here and abroad, who have been affected in any way by this year’s violent weather.  I want to share this prayer with any of you who might wish to have it.

A Powerful Prayer Against Storms

Jesus Christ, a King of Glory, has come in peace.  God became man and the world was made flesh.  Christ was born of a Virgin.  Christ suffered.  Christ was crucified.  Christ died.  Christ rose from the dead.  Christ ascended into Heaven.  Christ conquers.  Christ reigns.  Christ orders.  May Christ protect us from all storms and lightening.  Christ went through their midst in peace, and the Word was made flesh.  Christ is with us with Mary.  Flee you enemy spirits because the Lion of the Generation of Juda, the Root of David, has won.  Holy God!  Holy Powerful God!  Holy Immortal God!  Have mercy on us!   ~ Amen

Cookie Recipe Posted in “A Stitch in Time”

Per reader Kate’s request, I’ve posted our family’s favorite cookie recipe in the “A Stitch in Time” part of my blog.  It makes one of my favorite cookies, and if you like dark chocolate, coconut and raspberries you’ll probably enjoy it! My Husband likes this cookie so much that he exceeds his usual 2 cookie per-meal limit, every time I make them!

Happy Cookie Eating!

PS  I would have posted a picture, but they’re all gone already!

UPDAKE!   I corrected a few tiny mistakes on the chart and changed the background color.  So sorry for any inconvenience to those who’ve already downloaded.  There was one green square in the wrong place on the top border and two of the flowers were missing their green centers.  You absolutely would have caught these things, but I just had to fix them after I saw them!
