Happy Thanksgiving

Tis

a

gift

to

be

simple





'Tis

a

gift

to

be

free




'Tis

a

gift

to

come

down



Where

we

ought

to

be


And when
we find
ourselves



In that
place
just right





We will be
in the
valley


Of Love
and delight.



Making a new holiday tradition at home with simple fare, fun and prayer. Happy Thanksgiving to You too!

Giving Thanks...

... for the opportunity

to forego my usual routine during this
short school week,

I turn on a CD

of instrumental

Christmas hymns


and focus on fun



(that I'd boxed up,

put away

and given up on

long ago...)


snipping

and clipping,







pinning,

stitching,

turning,

pressing,

topstitching,









formatting

finishing

touches,













machine

embroidering,












and handling



(what many

would call)



a generous potholder...




or...


(what I consider)


a functional canvas

to be released.


"Tis the Gift to Be Simple"
starts the old Quaker song...


And for the simple gift of these three relaxing days, I Give Thanks.

Wishing you and yours a gracious Thanksgiving Day of peace and love.
