his wife and baby next to me,

all fine with the operation.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

"Grandma's Biscuit Tin"

A scarf for my Grandad on my dads side of the family, I know in my heart he is

safe in heaven with Lord Jesus,

he died before I was born.

My dad did not tell me my Grandad liked horses, and he gave me a very special promise about a horse on his last visit

to see me, very precious. My Grandma we visited nearly every summer, with my

stepsister's in our holidays.

We would always be greeted with sweets from her repurposed biscuit tin, it was a very pretty tin, would have liked to have had that, to remember her by, it would have been special, did not think to ask dad for it. We really do not need to be upset about these things, as we can read in our bible, we will see them again in heaven,

they believed in Lord Jesus.

"New beginnings in heaven"

Thank you Lord Jesus.

Poems from the bible, that you may like to write and give each other on your wedding day, in envelopes decorated

with pretty ribbons.

When Praying

Lord Jesus needs us to be calm when praying to him for our loved ones, as we can read in our bible, when he healed Jairus 12 year old daughter, in the book of Mark

of our bible a disciple for

Lord Jesus

"Summer Dresses"

I like to make clothes for my children in heaven and will be sharing them with you shortly, I gift them to friends. My mum taught me to make my very first dress for a beautiful doll, that my dad bought me for my 7th birthday, from a very beautiful summer dress, my mum would have worn, when with dad, fabric was beautiful, I have a bought pattern that is very similar to the one my mum just simply made from her heart.

"New Beginnings In Heaven"

A reading glasses case with a cotton lining, with help from Father God, the plastic button should be a ruby, that shape and colour.

A gift I would have given for my dad, almost missed his phone call to me the evening before his operation, I was not to know this would be the last phone call from my dad. He was not being very positive about it, his faith was strong though in Lord Jesus, as he knew it was his time to go, I did not know this. I said, don't be so silly, I will phone you in the morning. The surgeons came across an unexpected complication, I knew something was up, prior to my stepsister phoning me, I was sitting my exam as part of my degree, specialising in wildlife conservation, I asked if I could go home. All was not going well with my dad, as my stepsister informed me.

I just said in my heart keep going to heaven dad. My stepsister said, his new reading glasses arrived the day after he passed away.

My dad will have no need for a reading glasses case in heaven.

Thank you Father God and Lord Jesus,

for helping all my parent's make it to heaven with prayers Amen.

Tithing is very special to God and Lord Jesus.

"Anemone"

A flower from our garden possibly dropped by a seed from a bird flying over,

a few years ago, so beautiful and one of my favourite colours.

I almost died in hospital when I was 18 years old and I had no one praying

to Lord Jesus for me and I did not have my bible with me, or any worship

songs to listen to. I was trying so hard to obey God's commandments,

and was so frightened of God and everything, I told the nurse in charge everything,

he was so kind. I asked him to go and see my mum and bring me my cat, he did not do this, I continued to be frightened of God and went to go and find my sister who was working at another part of the hospital, she was not there.

I started to not be able to walk properly and I had no control over my

leg and arm movements. A nurse came from out of the blue

from another ward with leaflets for us to go to a concert for Jesus. I was so pleased

to have this, I was not in a good way though, I sat on my bed with this and called

upon Jesus name, that was all I could do. My stepmother came to see me

and said my dad sat up in bed and called out my name. God was trying to help me with all of this, I did not realise this though at the time. The nurse in charge came back and was very upset, he apologised for not bringing me my cat, he had to go on holiday, I told him it did not matter, I did not want him to be so upset. My friend let me ride her beautiful horse when I came out of hospital, I asked her to put me on a leading rein as my legs and

arms were still not back to normal and my vision was not back to normal.

"Green Pasture"

This cushion has been made using 100% silk and has a cushion insert, will need to be dry cleaned and kept out of the sun as will fade. Ideal for a picnic wedding reception in your garden.

"Forever True"

Have decided to make a new knitted cover for my small bible, I bought a few years ago.

I hope Lord Jesus likes it.

"White Roses"

My mum lost her faith and hope in Lord Jesus after her divorce from dad and stopped going to church, we had no one praying to Lord Jesus for us all. My mum's faith slowly was restored in Jesus, a few years before going home to be in heaven, with prayers to Lord Jesus. My mum gave me something that belonged to my dad, that was special for his faith in Jesus, he kept it with him all the time, I keep this with my mum's wedding ring. I am not sure if my dad had a bible, my mum did but did not read it, it was very precious to her though.

Lord Jesus will help with your forever marriages,

especially if you are divorced and he will help with your children also and your pets, we can seek him in prayer about all of this, everyday, if we need to and read our bibles with

him everyday, so he can help us from heaven.

white roses are for my mum, her favourite.

Flowers for Joseph and Mary, Lord Jesus mum and dad on earth and now in heaven. On the way soon...

"Blossom Sky"

This is a simple cushion made with 100% silk, it has a cushion insert, and will need to be dry cleaned, and kept out of the sun as will fade. Ideal for a picnic wedding

reception on the beach.

Gypsophila

A scarf for my older sister
who would try and teach me to knit on these wooden knitting
needles in the above photo when I was about 7 years old, I was just casting on and casting on more stitches on top of the cast on stitches, my sister was so excited and rushed into the kitchen shouting, "Mum Susan is knitting." I was able to spend a few days with my sister before she died, while studying to be a nurse, she was
so happy, we raced around town together and I was treated
to some new clothes for my 15th birthday and she was telling me
all about her new relationship, I walked her to our family doctors as she was not well and waved goodbye to her and that was the
last time I saw my sister. When my sister got back to her student nurses accommodation the next day, a friend took her to A&E later
that evening and they could find nothing wrong with her and
sent her back to her accomodation. My sister lost her fight
for her life, to stay with us.
Gypsophila are her favourite flowers.

My sister had lost her faith and hope in Lord Jesus and stopped
going to church for many reasons and had no one praying
for her back then and did not have a bible. Lord Jesus was
not able to help restore her faith in him and her
relationship back to God his Father in heaven,
with prayers for her to Lord Jesus.

We must pray to Lord Jesus for our
loved ones, especially if they have lost faith and hope in him,
we must give him their names and tell him everything about them in prayer to him, so he can help them. We are not
to give up hope for them. Lord Jesus does not desire for anyone
to perish as we can read in our bible. My soul is not sad about my sister anymore, with prayers to God and Lord Jesus for her.
Thank you Father God

"Winter Walk"

This scarf is made using chunky man-made wool. It is knit

in garter stitch, every row a knit row. It took me a very long time to make. I gave the above one to my oldest brother, who suffered with his health in his latter years, as did his partner, whom he cared for, they would go traveling all over England, even though my brothers partner was

wheelchair bound, they were devoted to each other.

I was able to encourage his partner to knit again

and sent her a simple pattern, some wool and knitting needles at her request, so happy, she once was

able to do Fair Isle knitting, something I long to try and learn to do. My brother had almost lost all his faith and hope in Lord Jesus and did not have a bible or go to church. I was able to share a little of my bible with him on the phone, he believed in Jesus in his own special way, very precious to God and I know in my heart he and his partner are both safe in heaven, thank you Lord Jesus.

I made another scarf for my children's Granddad on my ex partners side of the family and presented it to him, on one of our sadly brief visits to see him, he was not keen on it,

his Great Granddaughter was and still wears it,

this made me so happy.

Ideal gift to give to your brother's or Great Granddaughters.

Thank you Lord Jesus

"Samuel"

A cardigan in moss stitch, suitable for

a new baby gift

My daughters summer and winter, did not get to see the light of day, I thought I had lost them forever, I had no understanding about this in my bible. I was not aware I had twins at the time, I was due my first ultra sound scan, that morning , my friend phoned out of the blue to ask if I was ok, I said I was not sure, she said she was on the way, the moment my friend stepped foot in my flat, the unimaginable started to happen, my friend had the gift of being calm, this kept me calm. On the phone to my doctor, my appointment was cancelled, we waited for him to phone back, and he said it would be quicker for my friend to take me to hospital, than the ambulance, we made it just in time. I was not able to have a funeral for them, safe in heaven with Lord Jesus.

Simple summer dresses, that I would have made for them if with us here,

I gift them for my friends children.

Tiaras, made using glass beads and non tarnish tiara base, they are not expensive to make, I made some similar for a bride and her bridesmaid.

"Sail Boating Days"

A new scarf for my children's Grandad,

on my ex partners side of the family, he chose the colour and pattern, sadly did not get to make it in time for him to wear, "Twenty Two years is a long time to be on your own,"

words he spoke to us missing his much loved wife,

and recovering from a triple heart attack while in

his beautiful garden one afternoon. Lord Jesus was helping him, with prayers and he recovered very well. I was able to share some very special words from God and Jesus in my bible, with my children's Grandad, a few months before

he passed away, It made him so happy, he had no idea God loved him so much,"Remarkable", he said. I have had a change of heart for the scarf and will now be

making a crochet blanket still called "Sail Boating days",

inspired by a cardigan my children's Grandad

gave me, belonging to his wife, he named their

beautiful sailboat after his wife,

safe in heaven with Lord Jesus

Thank you God.

"Jemimah and Jacob"

Spring crochet blankets for my daughter and son in heaven,

I was so happy about our news and told my family doctor

all about it, they did not get to see the light of day,

I was not aware that I had twins at the time.

My ex mother in law is precious and is wonderful with children,

I know in my heart, they are all safe in heaven with Lord Jesus.

"Heavenly linen"

This bag has been made using 100% linen fabric and has a cotton lining, the handle has been made using a platted chord, you could take this bag to your favourite beach, to put light weight things in, like a delicate lace shawl or a small sketch book.

"Autumn"

A simple sponge cake with strawberry jam and butter cream icing for the center of the cake. My dad would buy one like this for a special treat once a year, for all of us to enjoy, when we were all together as a family. would make a wonderful wedding cake, they really do not need to be expensive.

Found the little basket when out for the day with my children and my ex-partner on their school holidays.

I hope Lord Jesus likes them, some I bought and some are from my garden.

My daughter Autumn, I had named her Laurie, I was very blessed to have a beautiful funeral for her, safe in heaven with Lord Jesus. Changed her name later to Autumn, the Registrar could do nothing for her, too small, he brought a portable ultrasound scan for me to see her and apologised for it not being very good and for not being able to save my baby. All perfect, her heart beating perfectly. I asked the nurse who helped me with Summer and Winter, if she would pray for my baby, she said she always prays over all her little baby's, that was of so much comfort to me. My midwife came and sat on my bed and prayed to Lord Jesus for me to bring a baby safely into the world.

A simple summer hat and dress, in the style that my mum made for my doll with fabric from her beautiful dress. I have found

some very interesting fabric that

I may buy for this dress.

" Winter "

This is the same scarf as the "Winter Walk" scarf I knitted for my oldest brother, this is also being made with man-made wool, in the same colour, with a slight change for my son, knitted on my sister's wooden knitting needles. I was able to teach my son's to knit on knitting needles for chunky wool, when they were about seven years old, they did very well,

my eldest son preferred to knit on smaller needles with finer wool, he recently requested for me to make him

the "Winter Snow" scarf.

My Stepmother was eventually able to teach me to knit,

"You can always pick it up and put it down again,"

some of my dads words spoken to me, on his last visit to me,

when showing him a jumper I was knitting for one of my older sisters, in chunky wool, that had to be unraveled in the end. My children were able to use this wool for their first knitting samples, of which I still have.

Letters from Dad

My dad started writing to me on his typewriter, a few years before he went home to heaven. I have my last birthday card from him, with a lady holding a beautiful horse, the bridal is a pretty pink ribbon, and the horse was one of my favourite colours, I never told my dad this, I keep my sister's last birthday card she gave me, when we raced round town together for the last time, with my dad's letters. All my parents

forgave each other over the years, which pleases Lord Jesus.

I was able to walk with my dad through our beautiful park, to meet up with my Stepmother in town, for something to eat, not far from where we all used to live together as a family before my parent's divorced.

I was not to know this would be the last time I would see my dad,

It will not be the last time we will see him though,

because of Lord Jesus.
