EDIT to this post - to make sure you understand my gibberish. ALL comments on this post will be included in the drawing. I guess it wasn’t clear enough, but anyone can enter. I
received many emails and comments offering prayers and wanted to thank them but
not exclude everyone else. So they are getting a double entry, but ALL readers
that comment are included. Just leave your entry on this post, with or without prayers. No exclusions.
Original post..
Good morning. It's been cold and rainy, my furnace is on, and I am not a happy camper. But there are other things to be grateful for, and one of them is my group of stitching buds. I have gone through my comments and noted everyone that offered prayers and wish I knew who anonymous was. Why? Because every one of you is already included twice in a giveaway. We won't have enough information to gauge Carole's condition until Thursday, but we greatly appreciate all the caring concern and prayers that you have given and I want to offer something in relation to that.

What would be more appropriate than a heart? I added a little to my heart freebie, stuffed it with sawdust,

added a pretty fabric back, and you can be included by leaving a comment on this post. Even though I have you praying stitchers already, enter again if you would like a third chance.

It's not a perfect finishing job, but I've been a little distracted lately so it is what it is.
If you happen to notice that I am always wearing the same bracelets, let me explain. I am lazy. I don't want to be bothered taking jewelry on and off and I feel naked without bracelets. Gold is too expensive and soft, silver tarnishes quickly on me, so I browsed Kohl's and JCP online and purchased men's stainless steel. I chose styles that had links and could be shortened which was a plus because women's are usually too tight. Then I can add costume pieces to them but these never have to come off.
OK getting off track. Random will draw a winner Friday night at 8pm EST.

Aww Marly. Thank you! I am entering again I guess! ;) AND still praying. ♥ I love that heart you made by the way. :)
Hello Marly,
I have been following your blog for just a short time. Your humor caught my attention and I quickly became a fan. I have prayed for you, your sister and all the pets. I am sorry she has struggled with all the complications of a-fib. All good wishes for her next follow up.

Hi Marly,
It's so devastating when a family member is ill. I've been there and know the toll it takes. I will be praying for you, your sister and family.
God bless,
Jenny
I have embarked on a journey with a friend 's heart and your posts both frighten me and give me hope . The unknown is always with us yet we find comfort in prayers from strangers. Kindness is everywhere if we look for it.
Love the heart - as you know! Hoping they figure out a solution you guys can work with! Health is such a balance sometimes.
Oh Marly, what a sweet, sweet give-away. I love your heart (well, your heart inside you and the one you made - lol). You do bring so much laughter to people which is a wonderful gift. Will continue to keep your sister and you in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all goes well.
Hi Marly, I can't speak for everyone but I have to say that this little giveaway is totally unnecessary, but very sweet indeed. I'm pulling for you and your sister.
The heart is adorable.
I don't think I entered last time because I can't
see to do that kind of close work but I love
the heart! Also, I pray that your sister will get
better and that will make you better. Also,my
heart broke for your sister when I read about
her kitty babies. Life is not fair!
Beautiful heart Marly! Truly hope for the best and am still praying too!
Marly I have been praying for both you and your sister and hope you both feel better soon. big hugs to you both. lve Lynda Ruth
I hope you will get good news on Thursday and that everyone can heal and move forward! It's so tough to be sick and also to watch those who are sick. You are a great sister--I've said that already, but you continually are! You all are a blessed family!
Praying for happier days ahead!
Marly I hope it is good news. I love your heart but will decline entrance because I was lucky in winning your last giveaway. God speed for your sisters health.
I love your latest heart....like to win it otherwise I shall enjoy making it.....Hope its good news....ciao Alison
Mornin' Marly,
Your summer has been one to(remember) or just forget! Still praying for you and your sister. So sorry for what you and she have been through. You have been tested! I look forward to your posts, your projects, and hopefully, good news.

Love your heart! Hope you have good news. Will still keep you and your sister in my prayers.

Such a sweet and generous giveaway. I'm sorry that your sister is having these issues. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
P.S. My furnace is on too -- and I don't like it one bit!
What a darling little heart, that perfectly expresses your heartfelt thanks. Love it.
HI Marly, I am so sorry but I missed all of your posts about your sister last week because I was on vacation. Back home now and on the computer. I don't do the blog on my cell phone. Haven't mastered all of that.
Anyway I know all of this is taking a toll on everyone. I am hoping that each new day and dr visit is going to have a good outcome for your sister. Your giveaway is totally unnecessary. I feel that I should be giving you something to cheer you. Thinking of you~Sandra
Glad you take comfort from our caring about you and sis....you are generous....
What a sweet thing to do! Thanks for sharing with us. And I will be praying for your sister and you.
Marly, I continue to pray for your sister and you and your family. Things will get better. The heart is precious and very thoughtful.
Deb
Both you and your sister are in my prayers. I hope the doctors find a solution soon.
Please enter me in the drawing for your beautiful heart. Love it! Barbara
Keeping you both in my prayers.......please enter me in your wonderful giveaway, love the heart...Hugs Francine.
please enter me in the sweet heart giveaway Good wishes for your sisters condition and may you both be able to catch your breath that brings answers and healing

Sending prayers and thoughts for Thursday that all goes well. You have had a tough go lately, hope things start looking up for the better very soon. Love the heart by the way.
Hi Marly.
Usually ' No news is good news" or so I like to believe. I was worried since no posting in the last few days, but I should have guessed you were up to something sweet and generous. The heart is lovely as is your kindness. We keep our friends who need healing in our prayers daily...hoping all is well and stays that way.
Warm regards with Peace and Blessings for all,
Barb
Sending lots of prayers my dear..
The heart is so pretty x
I do hope your sister gets some definitive answers soon, Marly--what an exhausting and stressful summer for her (and you!)... I'm glad our thoughts and prayers have helped at least a little. I'll be thinking about Carole on Thursday and hoping for the best!
So nice of you to do a give-away, Marly....so thoughtful at such a crazy time! The stitched heart is lovely!! I hope that Thursday brings you good news and that Carole starts to feel better soon.
How you can even think of doing another giveaway while you are under such stress I just don't know. You are so sweet. Know that you and your sister are still in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there!
You are too sweet! Busy hands.... As we continue to keep your sister and family in our thoughts and prayers; hoping that the right fix and balance is soon found to bring her comfort. Lovely heart. <3
Just bobbing in to say I have been keeping up with all that is going on around your pad and keeping you all in my thoughts ... but not always commenting I am afraid ....
busy hands keep you occupied and I love how you have done your wee heart and thought of every one else too to give it away ((HUGS))) love mouse xxxxx
Oh Marly, I am so sorry for what your sister and you have been going through. I will continue with my prayers and best wishes for you, your sister and family. I don't comment enough to be considered in the draw but your ongoing generosity with your free charts and giveaways is remarkable. Be well.
Praying for your sister!!! So happy she has a caring sister like you.
And praying for you as well!!! You have certainly had a stressful summer. Praying for restful, stitchy days ahead.
Pam
Okay, other than praying for your sister - I am wondering about two things....did you stamp that red fabric on the back of the heart to get the details? I love it and would get some if it's something that is for sale (unless you "created" it!)
And thank you for the heads up on the bracelets! At some point in my life someone must have blown some air in my wrists as they are no longer small/dainty! I do love bracelets and never ever thought to look at men's so they would fit!
Having gone through a little health crisis of my own here lately I know just how much those prayers and well wishes mean. Your sister is on my prayer list and I am so hopeful that she will have good news soon. May God bless her!
Prayers continue for your sister. Would love to win this beautiful heart!
Though I haven't commented often, I wanted to this time not for the giveaway but so you know there's another person adding to those prayers. Thank you for the updates. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too.
I'm sorry I don't comment enough but I think of you & yours often. I marvel at how strong you are with so much on your plate. Sending you good thoughts, prayers & gentle hugs.

Hi Marly. What a beautiful heart. How sweet of you to thank your well wishers. Hoping and praying things go well for your sister.
It is such a pretty heart and of course, both you and your sister are in my prayers!
I'm still praying for Carole and you.
Hoping the sun will be shining for you today to warm your heart and soul.
Thinking about "Budman", Squeak, Missy and the rest of your "wild kingdom" and how blessed they are to have you to care for them.
"Got chocolate" ? :o)

I havent been reading blogs for quite a few days so I am just now aware of your sisters turn for the worse. Please accept my apologies and you will all be in my thoughts.
We should be giving you the heart! Very appreciative of your generosity - thank you!!!
Hi Marly,
The heart you made is beautiful. Prayers are being sent for you and your sister. It is so difficult when a treatment balance is elusive. Take care, Cathie
Oh I love your finishing! To me, it looks PERFECT!!! And the stitching is just as beautiful.
I really do hope they find out what is wrong with your sister and pray that they can fix it ASAP. I have been praying for her and strength for you as well.
Marley
As always, prayers are the best medicine a friend can share. Your family has been thru a lot and I am glad you do have things to keep you busy.
Your heart design is darling and I would so love to win it because it is special stitched by your hands.
