We just can't believe that September has flown by like this!

SOOOOO much has happened and we are so very grateful to all of you who have jumped in and participated!  


Space bags are filling up for Christmas deliveries, another shipment was put together for the women's ministry in China and LOTS of items have been collected for the Dump Church in Reynosa, Mx.




And of course, there's yarn and notions and classes, OH MY!

Trying to get everything ready and in place for when all our Winter Texan friends get back home, too! 

There have been a few changes since they all flew away, so we're hoping they are happy with a few of the new items. We already have news of some gifts they are bringing to donate, too!!! Can't wait to see all of those beautiful things! 

You can always see recent pictures and stories on FB and Twitter. And check our calendar for the latest class and event posting!
Thanks for checking in on us! As always....
Prayers & Purls till we see you again!

Donation Chests Are Filling UP!

 There's so much happening, there's only one place to start....we're grateful and overwhelmed with all the love and support around here!!!

Lots of new friends and project fun is going on in the new Sit~N~Knit room, of course. Where two or more yarn lovers are gathered, what else would happen?

It is a real blessing that so many of y'all are coming by to knit and add your creations to the mission chests. Our cup (chests) overflows, really!

Patti came by with a bag full of hats and scarves that she and Mary worked on over the Christmas holidays. They didn't want the chest to stay empty for too long after everything went to Mexico. 

We're also so very grateful to all the Border Stitchers for all their contributions of knitted and crocheted items. AND their additions to our sample items that are displayed in the shop. Lovely work! 

It may seem that sometimes all we talk about here is yarn, tho' that is what God is using to weave us all together, but the friendships and outreach are such a tremendous addition! 

We have also been working on some more "practical" things, like two part donation forms that can be used for these lovely items being put in the chest, or for financial contributions. We are a 501 (c)(3), after all, so every now and then we have to pause a project to do the business stuff.

Here's another perfect story of how things work around here....Our friend JoAnn stopped by with 5 big crocheted blankets that another friend did not want....SO, we called Melody and she came and picked them up for use at the Dump Church. We added the crochet doll from another friend. The week this happened we had a really cold and wet cold front blow in. God and His perfect timing and provision for those kids happened through y'all.
What a blessing!

This is the kind of thing that YOU help happen here. Everyone one of you and every little bit, woven together to serve whomever God brings our way...THANK YOU!!!
Prayers and Purls to you all!

Happy Dance

HAPPY DANCE!!!!

It is OFFICIAL! We received the IRS letter today stating that we are officially granted 501 (c) (3) status! What a sweet answer to prayer.

There are soooo many things happening that it is hard to keep up now! We have Pastor Mike coming in this afternoon to meet everyone and pick up the hats and things for Durango, Mexico and we got word that Hope, our friend from Beijing, may be coming to visit us the first weekend of January!

So, we’re working and planning some FUN stuff….

like a YARN TASTING on January 3^rd! There will be a morning brunch and lots of fun yarn to test out. We are counting on everyone’s input from this to help out with our future orders. It should be a fun morning, so hope that you will mark your calendar now.

It has been wonderful to meet some of the group called The Border Stitchers, too! They heard about us and have been dropping in to check things out. What a blessing to meet all these neat ladies! Shelly brought a couple of hats for Mexico, some have shopped and Merrie even brought her project bag and sat for a while. We’ve said this in a previous post, but it seems the thing that is always worth sharing is where our heart is around here….Our heart is set on being about the people, not the process.

Whether it is a connection made sitting with each other in the KnitWit room, or the love someone half way around the world feels when they receive a prayer shawl…above all, we’re about the people.

The shop in the Lamb’s Loom is about providing the resources to do more “people” stuff! The KnitWit room, or Sit-n-Knit room as some like to call it, is available any time you’d like to come by for a few peaceful minutes. Even if you don’t knit, there’s always a chair for you at The Lamb’s Loom.

Wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTmas!!!!

You're Invited!

The first Thursday of November and December, during KnitWit time, we are having some very special friends come to The Lamb’s Loom!

On Nov. 6^th, Melody Durant of Like Elijah Ministries, will be coming to share about some of their work. For the last two years, we have sent prayer shawls and hats with her for Christmas at the Dump Church in Reynosa, Mexico. Melody and her husband have a wonderful mission to serve these dear people and God has blessed us with the opportunity to join a little yarn to the effort.

On Dec. 4^th, Pastor Mike of Charity Rescue Mission, will be here! Pastor Mike has been serving in the mountain areas of Durango, Mexico for over 25 years. He has been flying his little plane into the mountains delivering medicine and other essentials for all those years, along with many mission teams to help serve this very under-served population. We have truly enjoyed filling space bags full of hats for the journey south every Christmas!

We will be packing bags of hats and shawls, praying over them and sharing ideas to start this all over again for next year!

Nov. 6^th and Dec. 4^th from 4-6pm!

Your support of the Lamb’s Loom goes to help serve ministries just like these… So, please come join us and see what this is all about!
