A lot to be thankful for!

Hard to believe it's already November!
It's a time to think about all the blessings in our lives.
There is so much to be thankful for.
I am especially thankful for my November boys/men.
My firstborn, Brandon was born Nov 7, 1980.
Brandon's firstborn, Elijah was born Nov 3, 2003.
My daughter's firstborn, David was born Nov 22, 2007. (on Thanksgiving :)

That's a lot of happy to fit into one month !

I thought I'd share my progress on the DMC "Red Crockery" kit.
I'm almost done.
Just the finishing touches
and then I can add it to the stack of projects 
waiting to be finished/framed at some later date :)


Today I'm working on Christmas items for the shop.
These little felt owls are going to get added
later in the week.
The larger owl is a pin  
and the smaller owls are necklaces.


Here's a peek at another gift set in progress.
I'm loving the scissor fob that was made to match
by my friend Cherise!


So what are you thankful for today?

  2. November is a busy month for us too. We have 2 bdays (18th and 21st) and of course Thanksgiving. I am thankful that Regena talked me into the apron swap and starting a blog because I met you and Amy and you are truly the best of friends. God Bless my friend!

  3. November is a great month for you - all those special family birthdays! Today I'm thankful for my sewy friend up the street who is going to embroider my g-nephew's name on a stocking cuff for me, and who loaned me a really cute pattern to try :) I'm thankful for the cinnamon cake I just put in the oven (not so thankful for the calories though, lol), for my husband and younger son who will be home soon and who will talk shop while I make supper, and soon I hope I'll be thankful for the safe return of our oldest son, who went to Wisconsin a few days ago to see a Packers game :D So much to be thankful for!

    I am thankful for everything that I have, everything I don't have, will have won't have. And best of all, fabulous crafty chicas in my family tree...yes, a nut tree.
