This old collection box stands next to the door in my church. You can also see a bit of the candle light table, where you can light a candle for people you care about.

 I am really scared about the terrible situation in Japan. I turn on the news every morning in fear of what has happened during the night. I feel so sorry for the Japanese and their neighbours. 
Yumiko asks us to say a prayer, and she has donated a pattern to support a small member of her family, little Kira.

Yumiko is a generous designer. This is one of her designs, a free pattern. I worked these baby pants for my newborn grandchild.
