Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, in the US, it’s Thanksgiving. Despite the fact that today is principally a US holiday, I always think of Thanksgiving as a universal event, since gratitude has no boundaries.

Today, I have a lot to be thankful for…

…not the least of which is you.

I just want to say thanks every so much for your continued support, friendship, encouragement, and inspiration. I think of our little Needle ‘n Thread community here as my extended family (and that’s saying a lot, because I have an amazing family that I love dearly) – you are an important part of my life!

As I mentioned earlier, last week I had surgery, and that’s why things have been pretty quiet here on Needle ‘n Thread lately. It was not quite as successful as hoped for, but it was successful in other ways. Many of you have written kind notes of encouragement, sent me beautiful cards, and have been pulling for me from afar – thank you! You’ll never know how much they helped and encouraged me!

For those who want to know what’s going on with me, I’ve prepared this short letter, because I believe you deserve to know. If you don’t want to know – and I don’t blame you! we all have our troubles, and a blog on embroidery isn’t the place to talk about them! – you don’t have to read it. No worries at all!

I promise that my current situation is not going to be a consuming topic on Needle ‘n Thread. I’ll be going forward as usual, on embroidery, although occasionally, I may bow out for short spurts of time until I get through the next several months.

In the meantime, I wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving, wherever you are! It’s good to be back! May your blessings ever increase!
