What time is it?

 
One of my first appliqué projects, circa 1983

It's time to bake the muffins!  Although our plans are a little different from our traditional yearly ritual, they still involve family, a long drive and, of course, muffins!  I'm scurrying around tying up loose ends before we leave but I wanted to pop in to wish all of my U.S. friends a happy Thanksgiving this week and safe travels if you're celebrating away from home. 

This year, I'm thankful that

• we're all still standing after our family's many medical adventures this year.
• the furnace is fixed.  We're nice and toasty as the temperature plunges from 67° today to 28° tonight.
• we have so many more fabric choices available now than we did in 1983! 

What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for:

~ warm & toasty as well ~ a new wood burning insert in the fireplace (so much more useful!)

~ hubby's job! He's enjoying it and this one has good benefits.

~ I'm with you on the fabric choices as well! So much better than the 80's.

I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband of 32 years (who never questions my fabric purchases!) For my 6 daughters, 3 sons, 4 sons-in-law, and 4 amazing grandchildren (with whom there's never a dull moment!)For the beauty of the creative process and the joy of working with my hands. And most of all for my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

My father who taught me to sew and so much more, my husband who cheers me on for 14 plus years, my granny who taught me a spiritual path. Being able to stop working and get the medical treatment I need. Having quilting and fellow bloggers in my life.

My family, my quilting and musician friends, creative people, the "wealth" of having just enough, and this beautiful planet. Happy turkey day!!

I am thankful for a family with little to no drama, and in-laws I really like.
I am thankful that we have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies the means to pay for it without worry.
I am thankful for the Interwebs, but also for customer service with real live people to sort out where the Interwebs fail.

I am thankful for good health, a steady job, yarn to knit with, two frisky dogs, my dear husband and my children, and prayer which keeps me going.

One man's pie is another man's muffin! You're so cute -- you must be waist high in muffins by now. Hope you're having a fabulous time. Drive safely!
