Lucky 3's

 First things first...we have a winner for the Z'ing Stars quilt pattern!

There were only 3 peeps who commented on the giveaway post which are pretty good odds. (Too bad the lottery doesn't work this way.) Although he isn't a quilter, I was sure that DYH was going to enter. LOL!

So, Anita from Bloomin' Workshop...come on down! Just respond to my email with your mailing address and I'll mail the pattern to you. If you haven't checked out Anita's blog, it is a must read. Her photography skills? Killer. 'Nuff said.

I was thinking about the spirit of thanksgiving and how easy it is to slip into moan-gripe-complain mode when I happened upon this...

I bought this hacky sack for Elliot while I was in Peru this past summer. Boys being who they are, he promptly busted a hole in the top of it and asked me to repair it. Shame on me that I now use it as a pin cushion.  

Gratitude reflection #1: Having a son who thinks I can fix anything.

And while we're talking about kids, here is an apron I made for Liv to accompany her Easy Bake oven she is getting for Christmas. Okay, so she's (almost) 4 years old and the minimum age for those things is 8...bah! I'll be supervising her anyway, so viva la Easy Bake!

Gratitude reflection #2: Being mom to a girly girl.

 

 Which leads me to my 3rd gratitude reflection...Josh - my favorite guy in the entire world.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!
