Thanksgiving Greetings

The holidays are upon us...and many of us (myself included) need to take a moment and just breathe...I, for one, have learned (or at least I'm trying to learn) that I can't always "do it all" (no matter how hard I try)...therefore, my husband and I, along with his parents will be going out for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow - that's right, no grocery shopping, no messy kitchen, no hours behind the stove, and no dishes to wash...and for once in my life, I am truly okay with that.

I have so many things to be extremely thankful for...a loving family, a wonderful husband, AMAZING friends (who accept me, my quirks, and my crazy busy schedule!), two adorable dogs, and a career I find joy in every single day...way too many things to list...and I am grateful for all of you who share my passions, encourage me with your comments and emails, and support my designs and creative ventures - you all brighten my days!

Over the past ten years or so, I have truly enjoyed designing charts and patterns especially for this time of year - I adore the colors of autumn...I thought you might like to see a collage that includes many these pieces...you can find additional information on each of these designs by exploring my website...enjoy!

To everyone celebrating tomorrow - and to my many international fans and friends - take a little time to count your blessings...and a little time to stitch...
Happy Thanksgiving!
