To New Friends – May God Bless U

Here’s a shout out to my new friends!  I wonder why I didn’t start blogging sooner.  Since yesterday, I was able to test some new kitchen products with some guy who likes to rant in his kitchen.  Then I got to very thoroughly enjoy some amazing photographs by a couple of amazing photographers.  Read some beautiful Scripture while having my coffee this morning.

The best was when I was able to attend a Russian baby shower by proxy.  My grandmother was from Russia.  Anya.  I could almost taste the Salad Olvier that was pictured (I really don’t know how to spell it, but it’s that fantastic chicken salad).  I have all my children addicted to pilmeni (wonderful Russian dumplings made with love).  I got to see the beautifully decorated nursery, too.  God bless the new baby.

These folks know who they are because I started following them this morning, and, if I get their permissions, I will post their usernames up in here and you can visit their sites/blogs and have as much fun as I did. 

In the meantime, a toast to all of you…May the Lord bless you, and keep you and shine His countenance upon you, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Anthro-Inspired Hat

This is my third attempt to post this properly….

 

I made this hat for a baby shower that we recently held at church.  I made three hats, but this was the show-stopper.  I used baby weight yarn.  I made the body white, I used a different flower pattern and made it in lilac, but then I sewed a button in the center of my simple, one-layer flower.  It was a glass button that shimmered with green, pink and blue tones.  I wish I was smart enough to take a picture of the hats I made.  I told you, I’m new at this!

 

The crocheter’s blog site is pasted next to the picture.  She saw this hat in an Anthropologie store and said it retailed around $50!  Since I stopped shopping at malls after the birth of my first child – I had four more after him – I buy my yarn at Wal-Mart and try to make snazzy things that look expensive!

 

I hope you try it.  It’s beautiful when done.

Grace and Peace to All!

Hi, everyone,

This is Diana, Anthony’s wife.  I’d like to take a moment of your time to thank you all for the supportive prayers you have sent our way.  Your fervent prayers have indeed been effectual, and we are so grateful to have a family of believers worldwide.  It is very comforting you are there for us.

You will see me here from time to time, but not as frequently as you see wdednh!  I am so excited to be a part of your site.  I only hope I can bring a fraction of the insight you contribute, but remember, I am new to this!

Okay, then, can’t wait to talk to you soon!

Love,

Diana
