October begins tomorrow…and hosts the Feast Days of some of our FAVORITE Saints!

Tomorrow is the Feast Day of  St  Thérèse.

We love St  Thérèse, her example of living The Little Way, the roses she sends as a sign of her intercession and all the teachings in this best-book-ever  I Believe in Love.

Broken Statues and St Padre Pio

We are big fans of St Padre Pio. It started when my daughter Kelly picked up the little monk statue at a bookstore.  She started reading books about him and he became one of our favorite family patron Saints.   We even made a St Padre Pio Wooden Painted Saint.

Easy-Sew Saints

Are you afraid of SEWING?

I know it can be intimidating, especially if you insist on doing everything perfectly.  Although my grade 8 Home Ec teacher would probably have a little bit of a fit if she looked at the underside of most of my sewing projects, I’m quite satisfied with what I have accomplished by sewing!

Feetprinting for St Peter and St Paul!

  June 29 is the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul!

St. Peter is the patron saint of foot trouble.

Years ago…I took a 4’x4′ canvas and let my kids make footprints with paint.  Actually…it was 1999!

I only had two kids then…they were 31/2  and 1…and they had really cute feet.
