Earlier this year I was given a flyer for Bernat Cares. Normally I don’t do online memberships, but when I saw the website I was impressed.
If you’re looking for free patterns this is a great site. You set up your account (which is free! J) then you can search any pattern you want and put it in your online library for free. Then anytime you want that particular pattern you just go online and download it.
One of the great features about it is, there are no annoying adds. You’re not put on any e-mail lists unless you want to. And you can access thousands of patterns for free. I do love the sound of that word.
With easy sign in and navigation, this site is ideal for knitters and crocheters alike.
I found this site very helpful. I trust you will too.

Encouragement
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NIV)
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Upcoming Classes
You know when I wrote in my ideas corner about teaching a class? I could have imagined that in less then a year I would be the head teacher of a class.
Last week I was offered to teach a homemaking class and I accepted. Now the planning and preparation begin.
To be honest, I’m a little nervous. I’ve never thought that I have been a good teacher, but when they offered I felt God telling me to take the position. Needless to say, I’ve been doing a lot of praying and planning.
The good thing is God has been helping me. He has been giving me strength and ideas.
The good thing is, homemaking is a subject that I feel very comfortable in. Since I do a lot of homemaking (even though I’m still a stay at home daughter) I hope to teach about the elements of a good home, decorating, planning, cleaning, being a good hostess, and filling your home with love.
I don’t know how well I’ll do, but I hope to teach them about more then just how to arrange flowers, but how to make a house into a home.
We’ll see how my adventure in teaching goes.

Help! My Best Friend Is Getting Married!
My best friend announced last Sunday that she is getting married.
So one of the next things that jumps to my mind is what am I going to give her for her bridal shower and wedding.
If your anything like me you want to give her something unique and special. But aren’t sure what to do. After some thinking I came up with a few things that I thought I might share with you.
I guess this does depend on the person. But here are few ideas.
Make them a cross stitched poem for their house.
Write a special letter to the bride about what a wonderful friend she has been. Then frame it as a keepsake.
Make a centerpiece for their new table. Think about using things like fake flowers or little figurines, so that they can keep it for years to come.
Give them a cookbook with some of you favorite recipes in it.
Or if you want to be more practical, give them new couple a kitchen starter package. Include things like sponges, a trashcan, dishwashing soap, ect.
Do have any ideas?
