A Friday ritual.

 One photo-No words-Capturing a moment from the week.
 A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

8 am

First hours of the day.
Last hours of the night.

Play.
Sleep.

Learn.
Eat.

Some of us move slowly. Feeling the coffee seep in. Feeling muscles relax from a night of work.

Others find the sun a switch, on they go, the energy moving them. Welcome the day as only young can. Pure joy. A new excitement beginning.

Breakfast eaten. School work ready. Play already started. Sun warms, brightens, a signal of the day.

8 am.
Good morning.

Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a happy, simple, love filled Thanksgiving. I hope the day found you with good food, good people, and with a chance to reflect on all that's wonderful in your life.

Busy Hands

Joining Ginny from Small Things, for Yarn Along , and Nicole from Frontier Dreams, for Keep Calm, Craft On.

Holidays are approaching, the budget is tight, so this year will be a mostly handmade holidays.

Tiny toys in tins. Knits. Necklaces from old thread spools. Felt animals and play boards. These are just a few of the things I've been working on.

I'm also still working a shawl I started, for myself, at the beginning of the summer. It's knit all in one piece, so it can be a bit unexciting at times. And there's been plenty of times I put it down for weeks on end, luckily the pattern is very straight forward and is easily picked right back up.

Reading is on the back burner for the most part, with the exception of Small Steps for Catholic Moms (recommended by Ginny) daily meditations. I picked it out as part of a gift card present I received from my mom for my birthday a few months back. Even though I identify as a Pagan, Ginny's reassurance that it could be used by most, was straight on. I find I can use so much of this book, and just take what I like, and leave the rest, or adjust to my spiritual views.  I like the daily prayers and activities. So easy to do everyday.

What are you knitting? Crafting? Reading?
