"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

TaDahs!!

The ball of yarn I described here, that I bought from Sosae, grew to be a scarf! I found the  pattern  on Teresa's blog and made the scarf for my friend who visited from California this week. In between rain showers and a roll of thunder we had a great visit!

Although I am sure that I sometimes take the joys of life for granted, I have known enough loss in my 61 years to remember that sometimes my celebrations can be painful reminders to others of their losses.
If the following prompts such a response from you, I am truly sorry, and hope that my joy can help heal your sorrow and not prolong it.
Yesterday at 6:35PM my son-in-law and oldest daughter welcomed their third little bundle of joy into the world and we are all grateful for her safe arrival!
I pray your joy may be full as well.
