November 2008     

   Thanksgiving is just around the corner!  It's hard to believe that the year is winding down.  It seems like only last week it was Spring!  So I hope that as you get together with your friends and families to celebrate the harvest season you will be grateful for the time you have together and the happiness you share, not to mention all that great FOOD! 
(and don't forget the fabric!)

   Outside my window the sun is coming up and the horizon is that wonderful peach color that shouts...  "it's another beautiful morning".  There is so much hope in the dawning of a new day.  What a perfect time to be thankful for the blessings in our
lives!  Our loving mates.  Our families.  Our dearest friends.  Even our loyal pets!  All the things that warm our hearts and give us joy.  As we bask in the glow of feeling loved - I am reminded to be thankful for the difficult times too.  It is the times of pain and discomfort that builds our character and shapes who we are.  At those moments in our lives we are not feeling very thankful for the troubles that we are facing but through those times we come to appreciate what is really important in our lives.

   I hope that Thanksgiving finds you surrounded by those you love and grateful for the path that brought you to where you are today.

   May your cornucopia overflow with fabric and ideas!
