Hello there! I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with
love, warmth, gratitude and laughter!
Philippians 3:12 – 14
My husband and I
spent some time remembering his mother – and all the silly things she did to
make us laugh – her dichos
(sayings), her actions – simply her! We also
talked about the week I was diagnosed.
Then we put it
away and enjoyed life! I certainly can’t
forget – but I can strain forward to
what is ahead – always remember from where the LORD has brought me.
In light of that,
I added a twist to our Thanksgiving Gratitude Sharing! I asked everyone to share their happiest
memory as well. Our table was filled
with, “Ah, Mom, you should have given us more notice!” Hogwash!
J And then came the laughter. It was so beautiful!
Life is like
that,
filled with
hardship to be sure,
but also filled
with
victory,
reflection,
gratitude,
joy,
laughter,
love….
Life is good.
Slow Sunday Stitching
I've been crocheting a lot this weekend. Here is a butterfly crocheted scarf I made for my granddaughter! Here is where I found the pattern!
I've decided to start a scrapghan from the yarn left over from projects. Here's the beginning of my 2016-2017 Scrapghan!
I'm
linking up to Can I Get a Whoop!Whoop! at Confessions of a Fabric Addict , Finished or Not Friday at Busy Hands Quilts and Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching.
beautiful! You are an inspiration. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteAs are you, my dear! :)
DeleteLove all your Bible verses out here. Beautiful yarns you're working with, for your granddaughter's scarf and the scrapgahn.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm learning so much as I go through Philippians! Yes, I loved that yarn - yet threw away the package. I need to remember to add that info in my blog! :)
DeleteFamily is what it's all about. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteWonderful new tradition!! Good for you. Cute scarf, and I love the start of your scrappy afghan.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments and encouragement! Yes, I love that new tradition! In fact, just the other day my son shared another funny moment from 2016! How cool is that? :) I'm excited about that afghan!
DeleteLove your scarf. That yarn is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAna BC :-)
Thank you for visiting and leaving such a kind comment! I believe the yarn is by Caron Simply Soft. One of my 2017 goals is to find a label organizational system that I may provide readers (and myself!) with the yarn and fabric information for the projects I use!
DeleteSorry Ana,
DeleteI responded about the wrong scarf. The yarn I used was Unforgettable by Red Heart. The color was winery. I really enjoyed working with it!
