but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

Gathering











Autumn gathering...colorful leaves in piles, little frogs after the first rain, family and friends for my youngest daughter's wedding shower, fiber festival yarn into a crocheted pumpkin, blogging friends, Teresa, and Betsy, and me at Claim Jumpers restaurant... so much for which to be thankful!

What are you gathering this autumn?

  4. Hello Gracie lovely photos - the wedding shower looks such fun - never been to one of those. Lovely to see you,Teresa and your friend Betsy. Great pumpkin and cute frogs. I am gathering some of my family around the table this evening for dinner. My youngest son and family. Have to say a big thankyou to God tonight for keeping youngest son safe. He managed to fall through his bedroom ceiling last night!!! Just grazed his side thankfully.

  8. Hi Gracie! What a fun time we had yesterday! You're so generous to bring Betsy and I a hand made friendship bracelet! Next time we should get together at one of our homes and do some crocheting. We're getting organized to head to the beach! Hope to see you again soon. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  10. Coming to you from Teresa's blog. Your fall colors look wonderful, and even the frogs (although I have an irrational fear of frogs -- it comes from stepping on a frog once while wearing a thin-soled houseshoe [shudders]). The pumpkin is adorable.

Your little family gathering reminds me of me and my mom and all of my sisters when we get together. Good times and great memories, A room full of women is lots of fun!
