2/4/2026 Little Eyes Are Watching
Every morning, before the house stirs and the day begins to demand things of me, I offer the same prayer to God.
Lord, help me serve You well today.
Help me become the kind of Catholic my children can learn from.
It’s a simple prayer—but one I return to daily, because the weight of it never fades.
As a mother, I’m constantly reminded that my faith is not lived in isolation. It is lived in front of others—most especially in front of my children. They don’t just hear what I say about God. They watch how I live when things are inconvenient, when I’m tired, when I’m overwhelmed, and when life doesn’t go as planned.
Recently, my youngest daughter, Gracelan, drew a picture of a rosary. Each bead had a little happy face on it. When I saw it, I smiled—then paused. Something about it gently arrested my heart.
That drawing was more than sweet artwork. It was a mirror.
It reminded me that the way I pray, the way I speak about God, the way I carry myself through daily life is quietly shaping how my children understand faith. To her, the rosary isn’t heavy or burdensome. It’s joyful. Familiar. Safe. That didn’t happen by accident.
Children learn faith less through instruction and more through observation. They notice whether prayer is something we turn to only in crisis, or something woven into ordinary life. They see whether our words about love match our actions. They absorb how we speak about others, how we handle frustration, and whether we live with intention or merely react to the day as it comes.
If I want my children to live graciously, I must strive to live graciously myself.
If I want them to be prayerful, I must make prayer visible.
If I want them to place God at the center of their lives, He must be unmistakably at the center of mine.
This truth humbles me—but it also steadies me.
My rosary work, my writing, my prayers, and my daily choices are not just personal devotions. They are quiet lessons. They are seeds being planted in young hearts that God, in His perfect timing, will tend and grow.
I don’t aim to be a perfect example. I aim to be a faithful one.
And when I fall short—as I inevitably do—I return to prayer. I begin again. Because even in our imperfections, God is forming something good when we keep turning back to Him.
Little eyes are always watching.
May we live our faith gently, intentionally, and with love—so that the souls entrusted to us learn not just about God, but how to walk with Him.
May peace be with you. With love, Sascha
2/4/2026 Rooted Again: Why the Seed of Faith by Sascha Website Looks Different Right Now
There was a time not long ago when I needed to step back.
In my last post, A Note From the Heart — Website Update, I shared that I had been tending first to my health and my family. That season required my full presence and care, and I’m deeply grateful for the patience and understanding that met me there.
What I want to share now is what came after that pause.
Seed of Faith doesn’t look different because it was abandoned or uncertain.
It looks different because it became more deeply rooted.
When I returned to this space, I did so slowly and prayerfully. I spent time asking what truly belonged here—and what didn’t. I allowed myself to sit with the work instead of rushing to complete it. And in that stillness, clarity came.
This business was never meant to move at the pace of pressure or expectation. It was meant to grow the way faith does: quietly, deliberately, and with trust.
Some of the changes you’ll notice are subtle. Others are more visible. But all of them come from the same place—a desire for Seed of Faith to reflect not just what I create with my hands, but what I carry in my heart. A desire for this space to feel less like a marketplace and more like an invitation.
An invitation to slow down.
An invitation to pray.
An invitation to remember what truly matters.
Every rosary, every word, every detail you see here is shaped by prayer. Not as a formality, but as a foundation. I’ve learned that when I allow God to lead the process—even when it means pruning or waiting—the fruit that comes from it is far more honest and enduring.
So if Seed of Faith feels quieter, calmer, or more intentional than before, that is not by accident. It is the result of choosing depth over speed, alignment over urgency, and faith over fear.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for returning. And thank you for allowing this work the time and space it needed to grow again—rooted, steady, and entrusted to God.
As you explore this renewed space (that is still under minor construction), my hope is that it meets you gently, and perhaps even invites you into a moment of prayer of your own.
May peace be with you. With love, Sascha
1/31/2026 A Note From the Heart — Website Update
Hello to all of my friends, family, & loyal customers.
Life has a way of calling us to pause, even when our hearts are full of good intentions.
If you’ve visited Seed of Faith by Sascha recently and noticed that things have been a little quiet here, I wanted to take a moment to share an update.
This website will be undergoing some thoughtful changes and improvements over the coming weeks. I am prayerfully working behind the scenes to refine and rebuild this space so that it better reflects the care, intention, and craftsmanship that go into each rosary I make.
While this website has been quiet, my work has not stopped.
Rosaries are still being prayerfully handcrafted, orders are still being fulfilled, and Seed of Faith remains very close to my heart. What has changed is that I’ve taken time to tend to my own well-being and to the needs of my family — something I believe is not only necessary, but faithful.
Handmade work, like prayer, requires presence. And presence sometimes means slowing down, restoring balance, and allowing God to meet us where we are.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued support during this season. I’m looking forward to welcoming you into a refreshed space very soon — one that reflects both the beauty of the rosaries themselves and the heart behind them.
May your days be rooted in peace, and your prayers be held gently.
May peace be with you. With love, Sascha
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!
