"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. I have written a poem about a horse for him, with help from Lord Jesus.

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, they believed in Lord Jesus.

"New Beginnings,"

Thank you 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, as was the dress, I did not want my mum to do this to her dress.

We will be able to do all this in heaven,

as we can read in the bible, so happy.

"Precious"
Baby Mittens
a gift you could give to your
Grandchildren,
in my favourite pastel colours.

"New Beginnings"

A reading glasses case with a cotton lining, with help from Father God. 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 my dad make it to heaven Amen.

"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.

"Anemone"

A flower from our garden, possibly dropped by a seed from a bird flying over, so beautiful and one of my favourite colours.

I have been praying to Lord Jesus for Joseph his dad to be in heaven,

and all of Lord Jesus brothers and sisters and their children,

all in Lord Jesus hands.

Tithing is very special to God and Lord Jesus.

"Forever True"

Have decided to make a new knitted cover for my small bible I bought a few years ago, with pure wool my son bought me, with a beautiful sewing pattern also,

to make a dress and a beautiful fabric accessory

to help with my sewing.

Flowers for Joseph and Mary, Lord Jesus mum and dad. Flowers courtesy of one of my Son's.

"White Roses"

My mums last words to me were very sweet on

the phone, talking about our family home we all lived in, before my parents divorced and our gardening days together

when I was about 4 years old and the rescue of the toad, my mum nearly dug up, while preparing to plant some flowers, "Stop," I shouted and it hopped out the way just in time.

My mum had completely lost her faith and hope in Lord Jesus after the divorce and stopped going to church.

My mums faith slowly was restored in Jesus,

a few years before going home to be in heaven.

My mum gave me something that belonged to my dad,

that was special for his faith in Jesus,

I keep this with my mums wedding ring, I am not sure if my dad had a bible, his faith in God and Jesus was steadfast.

white roses are for my mum,

her favourite.

"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

February 2014. A scarf for my older sister
who would try and teach me to knit on these wooden knitting needles in the above photo. 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 into town together and I was treated to some new clothes for my birthday and she was telling me all about her new relationship. I walked her to our family doctors and waved goodbye to her and went to help my friend with her horse and that was the last time I saw my sister, she returned to her student nurses accommodation and was not well, a friend took her to A&E and they could find nothing wrong with her and she returned to
her student accomodation and lost her fight
for her life, to stay with us.
Gypsophila are her favourite flowers.

We must pray to Lord Jesus for our loved ones especially if they do not believe in him anymore, we can give Lord Jesus their names and tell him everything about them, in prayer to him, so he can help them.
Our Lord may answer your prayers straight away, or in a few weeks, or even years, we must not give up hoping.
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. My soul is not sad about her anymore, with prayers to Lord Jesus, thank you Father God and Lord Jesus for
helping me with my sister.

"Winter Snow"

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.

My brother was not able to 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, I made another

scarf for my children's Granddad on their dads 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 and

made her Great Grandad happy also.

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

Thank you Lord Jesus

"Sail Boating Days"

A new scarf for my children's Grandad,

on their dads 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 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. Ideal gift

to give to your Mother-In -Law or Sister's. 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 sail boat after her,

safe in heaven with Lord Jesus

Thank you God.

Wedding Cake

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, would make a wonderful wedding cake, they really do not need to be expensive...

Flowers with help from Lord Jesus, 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.

"Jemimah and Jacob"

Spring crochet blankets for my daughter and son.

Wool courtesy from my youngest brother,

a gift for my birthday a few days ago, will be perfect to

make the blankets with.

" Winter "

This is the same scarf as the "Winter Snow," 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.

Ideal gift to give to your Son's

"Winter"

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 also with my dad's letters. I was able to walk with my dad through our beautiful park on his last visit to me, not far from where we all used to live together as a family.

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.

Painting in the Garden Days

Our beautiful home with dad and mum,

my grandmother came to visit for my 4th birthday, I was allowed to have my mums

easel to paint on in the garden and all her paints and brushes and a huge piece of art paper. My grandmother said, "You are putting too much water on your brush."

A very heavenly day, not for long though, as my parents were

about to divorce and this was the last time I saw my grandmother and all her family our cousins. I spoke to her once more after this on the phone when I was 11 years old, it was for concern for my mum, working too much and I promised I would do as she asked.

My mum was never able to forgive her mother for leaving her dad when

she was 5 years old I never met my Uncle, my grandad had a horse

I recently discovered. They did not marry again after their divorce,

I hope they will both be in heaven in their new home, Lord Jesus prepares

for us, as we can read in our bible, they did believe

in Lord Jesus in their own way. I hope my grandads horse is in heaven in a

beautiful stable, we have so much to look forward to,

thank you Father God.
