9/16/2025 Working on My Rosary Inventory/Remaking Rosaries
Greetings friends, family, and loyal customers. It’s time for a Seed of Faith by Sascha business update. Lately, I’ve been busy creating new rosaries and also remaking some of the pieces I crafted last year. You may wonder why I would choose to do this. My earlier rosaries were strung with acrylic cord, which I’ve since learned is not as strong or durable as I want for prayer. Sadly, it does not hold up well to regular daily use. Because of this, I’ve committed to remaking them with materials that ensure lasting strength and beauty. It is deeply important to me to create rosaries that I can wholeheartedly stand behind – pieces crafted to endure the test of time and be treasured from generation to generation. This is why I’ve chosen to remake my rosaries with durable natural silk cord. Natural silk cord has high tensile strength, natural elasticity, is durable, and is moisture resistant (To learn more about the benefits of a rosary strung with natural silk cord, visit the home page and click the button labeled, “WHY SILK?”). Please be patient with me over the next few weeks as I continue to create rosaries and update both my website and Etsy shop. Thank you for stopping by to check out my latest update.
May peace be with you. With love, Sascha
7/14/2025 Back Home & Back to Business
Hello to all my friends, family, and loyal customers,
It has been quite some time since I’ve posted an update. I apologize for my extended absence. It has been quite a year for me already. January and February were mostly uneventful, but March and April were…busy. In early March my mom was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We didn’t know for some time what stage she was in. The doctor’s worked quickly to start her chemotherapy treatments, and it was rough at first. Turns out, it was stage two cancer. Meanwhile, her sister, my favorite aunt, was dying after a seven year long battle with cancer herself. My older sister and I road tripped to Texas together to spend some of our auntie’s last days with her. It was all so surreal, I don’t even think I had processed the gravity of the situation. I didn’t want to believe it would be the last time I would see her. Two days after we returned home, on April first, my beloved auntie, Ruby, went home to the arms of Jesus. This sent me into a deep depression. Nearly a week after her passing, I finally realized what day it was, and how much time had passed, and did my best to collect myself and maintain my sanity. The grief was so heavy. Soon, we decided I should spend an extended amount of time in Alaska (where I’m from, and where my parents live) to be with my mom and help her as much as I could. We chose the month of June, when her chemotherapy was expected to hit her the hardest. I spent a month in Alaska, with my family, and it was wonderful. It was not the trip that I had expected. On my third day there, we received the wonderful news that my mama is cancer free! As I watched her ring that victory bell, my eyes filled with tears of happiness, love, and overwhelming gratitude. With my arms raised and my face to Heaven, I praised God out loud. Oh, how great He is! The rest of my stay we celebrated life. I soaked in every moment with my mama, and the rest of my family. I have since returned home and have been enjoying my time with my own little family-my wonderful husband, my beautiful daughters, and my three dogs. I’ve been allowing myself to heal, and I have slowly started getting back to my business of rosary making. I have a lot of new ideas that I’m excited to share with you all soon. Stay tuned for my next update!
May peace be with you. With Love, Sascha
11/23/2024 Event Day!
Today was the big day – the day I’ve been preparing for. My parish had their annual holiday craft & vendor fair. The work of a hundred plus hours I’ve put into making rosaries would be on display for people to browse and purchase. This was my first time ever selling my own items at this kind of event. I am a new business, as well as a micro business, and work out of my home office. This was a big deal to me and I am happy to share that I wasn’t let down. I saw a lot of familiar faces and met new ones as well. Everyone was friendly and I received many compliments on my work. I made some sales and was offered some new opportunities. It was a joyful day spent with my family and this entire experience has certainly been a learning experience for me, and one that I am so grateful for. Tomorrow is day two and the final day of the fair and I’m excited to continue to grow my business and further my experience. After the fair I will be selling all of my remaining rosary inventory on my Etsy page, which I will share here once all inventory has been posted. Thank you for checking out my page/blog and be sure to come back to check for more updates! May peace be with you. With love, Sascha
11/13/2024 Preparation for Upcoming Event
Hello and thank you for visiting my rosary website! As I’m sure you might have noticed, my site is currently under construction. Right now I am working on inventory for an upcoming holiday event that I will be selling my rosaries at. I will make small changes to this site between now and Thanksgiving, but my main focus right now is making more rosaries. I plan to have more inventory to sell by early to mid December, as well as a more user friendly website for purchases. Please check this page occasionally for updates!
