Here in the US, we celebrate Thanksgiving today!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and after this past year of all kinds of interesting adventures, I know I have much to be thankful for!

In fact, I’m pretty convinced that every day should be a day of thanksgiving.

Without a doubt, I count you high on my list of the things I’m grateful for.

You encourage me, inspire me, and help me be a better person all around. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me, and for Needle ‘n Thread! We wouldn’t be the community we are without you.

I’ll be celebrating the day as I usually do, with my family here in Kansas. We pretty much just hang out, and then, eventually, we eat dinner together. There are some 26 of us in the vicinity, plus extended family and friends, so it ends up being a bustling, busy day of family, fun, laughter …and lots of dirty dishes.

This early in the morning, though, it’s quiet and calm, so guess what? I’m going to sneak in a few stitches before the work fun begins!

Wherever you are, whether you’re officially celebrating Thanksgiving Day or not, I wish you and yours a happy day full of many good things to be thankful for!

A Bit of Holiday Cheer Up and Coming!

Between now and Christmas, I’ll be running some very delectable needlework-related give-aways here on Needle ‘n Thread. Keep an eye out for them! The first one’s up tomorrow…and it involves thread!
