This year really started off rough. My family lost two important people over the course of 8 weeks. However, my family and friends provided lots of strength and encouragement to get me through. First thing I’m thankful for is STRENGTH.
Sewing can be a source of frustration for me at times and also a wonderful creative outlet. Over the year I have gotten out of my comfort zone and tried new things. This makes me thankful for CHALLENGES. Without them you may never grow.

Having gone through my first trimester of this pregnancy I am thankful for SLEEP. I have always been a fast paced person with lots on her plate. Right now I have to learn to say no to some things and take some things off my plate. I have to rest or I’m a cranky person.
Take the time this holiday season and enjoy your family and friends. I’m looking forward to it and finishing 2012.
