Giving Thanks

I have been away from this space for longer that I had hoped, but life takes us on it's own adventures. Not that we have been up to much, but for us to be present in this place, present with the boys, present with the business, many things have been set aside. Many things I am slowly bringing back to my daily rhythm.

We had a lovely thanksgiving with friends and family. All of whom I am so grateful for. Also though are the friends who are no longer in our daily lives. Oh how I miss them and am so thankful for all of their amazing souls. Mamas, crafters, geniuses, awesome human beings that inspire me and daily motivate me to be a better person and for us to live the life we are meant to live.

I feel like we are hitting the true adjustment to our move. It no longer seems just like summer vacation when we see people less, now it is real. We are mostly alone searching for our way in a new place. While we are alone, we are happy, though the natural yearning for companionship other than family seems to be effecting some of us more than others.

We were thrilled to have so many people in our home for a feast. Thirty four pounds of turkey, and so much food, and all these people filled our hearts and home with the companionship we have been missing and now are willing to get out into the world again and seek.

And crafting came back too! While the turkey roasted, pies baked and the last minute details were prepared, I was able to whip up this needle felted garland from an old already felted scarf. I love needle felting!
