Jenny Elefantz' GiveAway!

You might like to hop on over to Jenny's blog and enter to win her giveaway - an adorable project(s) book!  All you have to do is "comment" on her post about the giveaway.   This pic is the book being given away:


I love, love, love her site. Plus she's part of the group known as the "Gum Tree Designers" - all very talented and generous women.  They share a lot of tips and offer free projects throughout the year.  There are a lot of very nice and easy hand embroidery designs to drool over, or even use for one's own projects.

Constructive Suggestion

One of my very wonderful sisters phoned recently and was asking about what kinds of things she (and others long distance) could make and send to us.  I started to describe some of our simple projects and how easy they are to sew, knit or crochet.  She stopped me and said, "Hey, why don't you add those kinds of instructions to your website / blog, so others can participate!"

Hmmm, I think she's right.  In fact, I don't know why I didn't do something like this much sooner.  Thanks Patti!

While I'm at it, I will try to get better at doing regular posts.  After all, if I can do it on Facebook I can surely do it here, right?  Maybe it will help if I add this blog to my home pages.  That way I will see it each time I open my internet browser. 

Shalom y'all!

Cleburne County Fair

Someone asked me if the Nicholas Project has a website, and it reminded me that I have not taken good care of this blog!  So here I am after a long absence, with an update.



Our little group has been busy little worker-bees.  Last Christmas we were excited to present 107 lap quilts to residents at Southridge Nursing and Rehab center in Heber Springs, Arkansas.  Then with the New Year (can you believe it's 2010?) we started making things for small children, to be donated to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates.)  We are also making hot-weather clothing to go to a mission in Africa.

Now the organizers of the Cleburne County fair phoned to ask us if we'd set up a table promoting the Nicholas Project.  The Fair will run from September 7th through 11th -- come visit us!  We will have brochures, as well as samples of our work.  I better get busy and make a tiny burial ensemble to show people how important it is to recognize that a teensy stillborn baby is a beloved child -- not just a "fetus."

Shalon y'all!  Chaplain Donna
