Give thanks, part 3 JEWELRY
This is the part where Larry comes out and…
no. this is the part where you can be a part of things.CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! or NEW YEARS PRESENTS! or something like that…
The Living Stones program is making jewelry.Rachel has learned to crochet. and how to spell the word crochet. I figured if i couldn’t do it, i couldn’t ask the girls to do it. they are already great crochet-ers, so they do a much better job.
we are doing two basic projects: necklaces (long strands of crochet and Acai–only found in the Amazon–beads) and poptab bracelets crocheted (sp?) together. you can see basic pictures, but every piece is very individual, as the girls. different color combinations and so on. They are amazing creative.
The poptab bracelet is on the table. here is a better picture:
we have multicolored, green, purple, blue…
The necklaces’ can be wrapped around for a bracelet or anklet as well. We have black or brown chord crochet, with beads–all different colors, or just one color.
The girls love to sit in a circle and make jewelry. Every day i come they ask “can we make some more?”
So please write me at amobrasil99@hotmail.com if you would like to support Living Stones and purchase some jewelry. I can buy things like coconut or wood bracelets or….anything else…if you write me soon before i leave (in two+ weeks!) i have some room for Brasilian handwoven blankets and hammocks as well. I will be bringing back oddles, but if you want something specific, we can design it for you now. and if you don’t live in Indy, i can mail it to you. There are no set prices…just generosity.
thank you!
now go eat your turkey leftovers. and lotsa whip cream on your pumpkin pie.

Hmmm..wonder how I could get a bracelet mailed to me and a donation sent for you. Can they make things that hand on the end of a cell phone? Those are popular here…if not, a bracelet is fine….hmmm, I’ll have to think about this…wonder how this could work…how long are you going to be stateside? Are you going back?
well..another great post with great pictures to go alongside of it! Keep on hanging with Jesus and doing exactly what you are doing…
Aww, that’s sweet
I’m recommending, maybe someone will join in.
What is living stones?

i can mail you jewelry if you write me your address: amobrasil99@hotmail.com
we did´t make anything for cell phones:(
i am bringing the jewelry with me to the USA–i am arriving December 17th, and will be back at least 6 months, perhaps a year.
thanks for your encouragement!

i have a nice long and complicated reply for what is Living Stones…basically…it is like a youth center in Brasil..giving kids a meal, helping with school, sharing Jesus. with the very poor, often street kids that live here.
