Lion Brand Notebook ®
At the World Maker Faire in New York City last week, fiber artist, Robyn Love, created a piece of installation art that was made of hundreds of hand knit and crochet squares of Hometown USA yarn. The squares were sewn together to create flame-like extensions for the rocket ship (still standing from the 1964 World’s Fair) that is located on the grounds of the New York Hall of Science. Robyn invited visitors to pin a note to the yarn squares with their message to the universe to symbolically send their wishes into space. Thousands of people at Maker Faire saw the work and hundreds participated by sending a message. The hand crafted “yarn flames” were removed from the rocket ship and will be resewn into afghans to donate to Warm Up America.
If you could send a message to the universe in just a few words, what would it be?

God loves each of us the same. He has no favorites or grudges when He has forgiven us and we become His son or daughter. He adopts us as His own children. Ho will never leave or forsake you. Even while we were sinners He loved us enough to send His only Son to die on the cross and take our sin upon Himself and the punishment for it upon Himself.
What greater love can anyone have?

We are here for such a short time, use it wisely and lovingly. Hate, anger and destruction are such a waste of time and energy.
Love the earth and it will respond with kindness.

Keep the toddlers, school age children, teens warm also this winter. Not only the girls, but the boys too. Most people just do babies and girl stuff is a favorite. Boys need warm nice things, allages.

My plan is to make an artist’s book from all the messages from Maker Faire but these are also so lovely that I will add an extra section and put them in too! Thanks for all the contributions!
