Happy Thanksgiving!



This weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving (which is held at a different time to that of the United States).  There will be lots of turkey and trimmings consumed here!  We won't be seeing family so will be enjoying supper out with friends instead.  

With all that has been happening throughout the world, we have to give thanks for what we have...for our family, our friends, and for where we live.  So many others are going through such horrendous loss and hardship and we need to keep them in our prayers.  Be safe!

There has been some stitching accomplished - but pretty much equally as much reverse stitching too.  That's what I get for trying to change a pattern to suit my needs.  Hopefully there will be pictures on Monday.

Your quote, once again, is from an anonymous source..."Be kind.  Be thoughtful.  Be genuine.  But most of all Be Thankful"

  1. Happy Thanksgiving Mary Anne to you and your husband. Fun links once again. I was shocked by the $5000.00 also. Then I realized it must be in Chilean pesos. The USD is only $7.8962 so that is probably not correct either. Keep stitchiing my friend. Great quote. Grateful and Thankful is what I strive for everyday. Thanksgiving Blessings Dear...<3

  3. Happy Thanksgiving. When it's Thanksgiving Day there, it reminds me that our holidays are almost here.

    That bag is beautiful. I wonder if they sell any at THAT price. You can ask what you want, but that doesn't mean anyone will BUY it, lol.

    xx, Carol
