Bundled In Prayer

Slideshow: Winter 2008 Projects Announcing: Sleeved Ponchos

admin — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:00:15 +0000

I realize it is odd to post a Winter slideshow in August, but this is the last of the pictures from my old blog! Enjoy!

Please note that I did not make the poncho labeled “By Grandma” (that is one that MY Grandma made for ME when I was 4 years old and I used it as an idea for the pattern on the green poncho that I made for my goddaughter, Savannah. I also did not make “Abbie’s sleeved poncho”. That is a store-bought poncho that my friend’s daughter has that is knitted with a crocheted border. I loved the idea of a sleeved poncho so I borrowed it to get some idea. The poncho I made for my goddaughter, Madison was the result!

I just finished an afghan for my sister (I will post pictures later) and am working on one for my Dad. After that I have another afghan for a special little girl named, Ella. After that I have no orders on the schedule. If you are interested in a BIP product please email me at quietcajun@yahoo.com!

My New Goddaughter is Bundled in Prayer

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 01:00:17 +0000

My first goddaughter was born in December 2000. I wanted to make a very special gift for her and this was in the time frame before it was a given for me to start crocheting when anyone close to me said the word “baby”! But that is exactly what I did!

Here’s a picture of her with her custom afghan at just a few months old. Now, this afghan never became a favorite with her since it was made with just “regular” yarn instead of the beloved ultra-soft stuff I use now… so she got an all pink fluffy one a few years later (which I am told is nearing the need for replacement as it is so well-loved! ) But anyway, my oldest daughter, Kaitlyn called this blanket the rainbow sherbet afghan and I even ended up making one with the same colors for her at that time. (I think she still has it too).

When my fifth godchild (and fourth godDAUGHTER) was born in October I immediately got started on an afghan for her… same colors… fluffy yarn!

So, here it is… a rainbow sherbet Bundled in Prayer afghan for my new little goddaughter who joined her four older siblings and even from a long distance makes my heart sing!

A lovely, soft shawl in pink. It can be worn as a V-Neck …

and you have a whole new look! Cool, huh?

Pink and brown and blue and brown are very popular color combinations!

They got lots of compliments when they wore these to Seattle a few weekends ago!

A crib-sized Rose Garden afghan!

Only one thing looks nicer than blue and brown together…

Blue, and Brown and a BABY… I used this photo with permission from

Isn’t he a sweetie?

This one belongs to Hannah Dixon

Little girls like shawl wraps too! This little cutie requested a “WAP” (wrap), not a “Yawn-Toe” (poncho)! Her big sister liked it so much that I made one for her about a week later!

A friend from MOMYS also gave me permission to show you this adorable little “baby duck” in his new Bundled in Prayer afghan. Doesn’t he look comfortable? What a sweetheart!

I am taking orders for November and December right now! Contact me at

Slideshow: Summer 2008 Projects and Announcing: Loveys

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:00:15 +0000

Here are some of my most recent afghans, ponchos and shawls and a new addition to the line-up… “Loveys”. A mom approached me and told me how her baby cries and cries for her BIP afghan, but it is big and they don’t really like to let her take it in the car… so I made a miniature of her original afghan that was just big enough for her to take in her carseat. Look for it in the slide show labeled “Peyton’s lovey!”

Bundled in Prayer’s Little Prayer Warrior

This afghan was really important to Hannah. When a friend from MOMYS lost her daughter, Hannah begged me to make this afghan for her. It did not take much to convince me. Throughout the process Hannah insisted on praying along with me as I crocheted. It really touched me and I know that the recipient of this afghan will truly feel the love and the prayers that went into it. I pray that it may bring comfort to their family.

Jocelyn’s Afghan

admin — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:00:28 +0000

For her 17th birthday last month, Jocelyn “needed” a special kind of a gift! So, a Bundled in Prayer afghan seemed to be the perfect gift. So with a little intel from her mom and sister we picked just the right colors.

Here’s the trademark heart in the upper right-hand corner.

This afghan is enormous. When folded in quarters it was still big enough to invite a cuddle from a big almost 10 year old boy!

Here she is opening it EARLY the morning of her birthday:

You can read more about it on HER BLOG ENTRY from her birthday!

I hope she knows how dearly she and her family is loved.

Mended Hearts

When a lady from MOMYS.COM lost her husband last month, the ladies commissioned me to make an afghan for her and one for her newborn baby son (the youngest of 6 young children):

This afghan is called “Mended Hearts”

Please pray that these gifts will bring some measure of comfort to Kendra and her family.
