Saint Joseph, Pillar of Families

I didn't use to pray novenas.  I always thought that praying directly to God was better.  But I read this passage from the Bible: "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much." - James 5:16 I thought of the matter more and now I see that novenas are a humble way of praying.  It is asking those closest to Jesus (and holiest) people who walked the earth, to pray for me.

A Wee Li'l Pillow



I'm wondering if you will like my wee li'l pillow, shades of country kinfolk themed. I had a lot of scrap cloth from altering clothes and I happened to have a lot of blues.


Here I put together an angel in applique as well as just stitched on. Shiny beads also lend to a somewhat shimmery effect all over. I like the running stitch on the flower center, don't you?



This is my first ever project so it really is quite shabby. I plan to make a much nicer one with edge trimmings, lace and more buttons! Exciting! :)
