thankful, I am.....

for a mother that taught me to sew, crochet, cook and the basics of taking care of a home.  They are not only a resource for providing things for my family.  They are creative outlets for expressing myself in a way that makes me feel productive and satisfied.

I've used my sewing machine two weekends in a row, for tasks large and small.  Today I am working on a new crochet pattern to make a fun hat.  We'll wait to see how it comes out.  I sometimes have bigger hopes than abilities.

Thanks Mom for those good lessons that last a lifetime.
