I must share some of my newest discoveries on Pinterset- absolutely stunning images of Mary, churches and other Catholic Art and spirituality. Images really do speak a thousand words, especially when painted, carved or crafted under the inspiration of the Creator
FIRST, A QUICK OVERVIEW OF MY NEW LIFE
1.
For the last couple of weeks, I have stayed with a daughter who is on bedrest to prevent a premature delivery, helped daughter-in-law and my newborn grandson and babysat for another daughter while she and her husband finalized buying a beautiful country home. I have kept busy by writing articles,blogging and asking advice about publishing a book. I have crocheted babyshower gifts and Easter gifts.SO….
My new title is the Travelling, Crocheting Grandma.
I have just discovered baby booties and I am having a lot of fun creating something with a mere steel hook and some wool.
