another block!

I actually finished this block quite some time ago... I just remembered that I had not posted it!

update on Pavlik!

Pavlik gets his cast off in 8 days. He will be going to Moscow and will do rehab on his hand there. Funds have been raised to replace all the wooden windows in their apartment.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for this young man!

Pray for Pavlik

Please pray for this young man.

He was opening a window and it broke. He had to have a three hour surgery to repair the damage. He is the son of one of our pastors in Russia.

His parents are Lena and Valodia, I am sure that they can use your prayers as well.

Where oh Where has the Bernat Yarn gone?

I went to two different stores today looking Bernat Softee Chunky yarn in black. After being unsuccessful pounding the pavement under the hot New Mexico sun I decided to let my fingers do the walking on the internet.

In Russia my choices are limited and I am used to that. I have two stores to go to and that is that.

At Bernat.com there is a store locator and to my surprise one of the stores that I went to was listed as having this yarn. I have several other store options but, I won't rush out the door in the morning....

My lesson for the day:

Check the internet and then call to see if they have what you are looking for. Gas is too expensive to run from store to store... and the time in car is time I could spend crocheting at home!
