Giving Thanks

The holiday season will officially begin tomorrow. It is time to reflect on what we have to be thankful for and to also remember to not get so engrossed in the tasks of the season not to enjoy this time of family and friends.

First everyone should be thankful of the country they live in and for all those past, present, and future who have, are, or will serve to give you the precious gift of freedom. Then you have a family and special people in your life, some you deal with on a daily basis and some only on occasion. Due to some up and downs this year I have gained the gift of a few extra extra special people in my life. Family should always be special. What do you have to be thankful for? Health, food on the table, a hobby you can share, or a year that has been good for you to name a few things?
Yes, it is a busy time as the pictures below show, things are being worked on the season fast approaching. There was a customer in a few days ago who was making Christmas gifts for her friends, because she was wanting to share with them for their special day. This may not seem strange till you consider she is Jewish. The friend with her said that they were going to share Hanukkah -a learning time for both.
The first picture shows the Tweedle Dee Project. One skein knitted, as you can see the color repeat is long. This would make an interesting sweater.

Stockings are progressing along, heels turned and foot to begin. A gift that gives for many years.

Wishing all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and many happy memories ahead in the holiday time.

Thanks to some special friends for the gift of friendship and support, Yarn Diva, Yarn Vixen,Yarn Elf Substitute, and Lupe.

yes, Yarn Elf, you are indeed a port in the storms of life for many and have had a year of difficulties and change yourself, but it appears those things are behind you, the best is yet to come of course. Much to be thankful for in spite of, or because of all that happened in 2008 - keep the faith !
