T’was the Night Before Thanksgiving…

I completed one on the Christmas gifts.  Monday night I had a small epiphany in that I realized if I crocheted at least some of the gifts, I would be able to finish things a lot faster and maybe even have everything done on time!  So I worked these up…

Lavender mitts

One down, six to go



These are for a very slender girl so I made them smaller than what I would make for myself.  I hope they fit.  The lavender is so in her palette of colors.  I really hope she enjoys them.

The knitted red mitts and the evergreen scarf are coming along too, just more slowly :)

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday tomorrow, and for those of you who are outside the U.S., I hope your day is also safe and wonderful :)

I am grateful for so many things, but when try to write them down it all seems so sappy.  They’re all really basic things like a roof over my head, plenty to eat, a wonderful partner and enough yarn to keep me occupied for a while.  I’m glad for my friends of whom there seem to be more than I thought - which sometimes confuses me because my social skills are very rudimentary - but which makes me happy.  I’m thankful for the beauty of the natural world - more and more all the time - and which I seem to appreciate more fully as I get older.

I enjoy and am every day thankful for my two terrorists:

Black cat

Why are you interrupting my nap, Infidel?



and

Orange cat

Aw c’mon - just a little tummy rub?



And, I am just happy to be alive :)  As my mother used to say, “I’m planning to live forever; doing pretty good so far!”

  2. LOL - Cryptic remark indeed :)  I know you’re going to be busy, but please try to find some time to relax and enjoy?  I find counting my blessings a pleasure these days, when I can remember to do so :)

  6. Lisa - Thanks :)  I’m going out for dinner today and may even have seafood instead of turkey!  No worries, there will be more recipes forthcoming, eventually.
