... 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.
