Man, I'll need to pray harder that you recover from that flu shot!(Those make me a Nervous Nelly--I rely on my 5,000 units of daily vitamin D3, instead. So works for me.) And I'm praying for your husband's sister as well. As always, thanks so much for commenting at my blog so faithfully!I always am thankful you read there.

I like both of those pairs using up your scraps. I don't think I have ever knitted a mitten before. I hope getting the botox shot isn't painful and that Dennis's sister improves soon.

I love both the seed pair, including the orange blue pair I think they’re really cheery.<br />How cute is that baby knit book, what a blessing, amd love the set in blue you made, the detail on the rug is amazing love that pattern.<br />Pray the Botox goes well this time around just like the first one and that you’re recovering is God blessed in every way, your humming in ears sounds like tinnitus which I pray you don’t get... prayer esp for Karen and Jenny also, their issues solved and healing begins.<br />Thanks for your prayers for my visit next Thurs, I appreciate it as looking at some med changes so just pray Lord blesses it and as it over 300 miles or 520 km travel by plane but connecting can be tricky. It’s a long day as after tests and Dr appt at 3.30pm travel onto stay two nights with my long time Christian sister and friend on south coast.<br />Just came in from making the start on Christmas card as realised it’s 25th Oct today and so always join Christmas challenge starts on 25th. You’d really love it as it’s in your colours. Done focal element, just need to work out rest of it! You’d also love the sympathy thinking of you one I just finished in mauves and touch of lemon. It’s gorgeous. A fav verse on it Nahum 1:7.<br />Could write a book to you. ;)<br />But thanks so VERY much for your comment on my last Wonderful Words blog post, it wasn’t one I ever thought I’d write on. <br />Certainly agree with your sentiment on prayer. How we need to pray for our countries! I pray for yours and your leaders too, that Lord will have mercy and intercede on behalf of those who love Him.<br />Thanks for sharing, and may God richly bless, Shaz in Oz.x<br /><br /><a href="https://wonderfulwordsoflifebyshazinoz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>{Wonderful Words of Life - Shaz in Oz}</b></a><br /><a href="http://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><b>{Calligraphy Cards - Shaz in Oz}</b></a>Shaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-16170305413969758562019-10-25T01:23:33.794-05:002019-10-25T01:23:33.794-05:00The baby set is absolutely adorable!

It would be fun to see their happy faces. I like those last two pair. I will remember Karen in my prayers and Jenny too, and hope you feel better soon too.

It used to amaze us that so many parents would bring their kids to a freezing ice rink with NO GLOVES. I knit I box of Lopi mittens that we used to lend out to freezing fingers.
