Happy Thanksgiving--almost! My goal this month was to create every day, as in the Create Every Day challenge for November. Well, things haven't been going as I'd planned, but the month isn't over, either.
One thing I have done is take another weaving workshop. It was great, but a little frustrating, but good frustrating. I learned a lot about my little rigid heddle loom, even though I haven't finished my project, towels, yet. I am going back and fixing a mistake, which is good, but a little unlike me. I do not have many perfection-type tendencies, but in this case, I decided that fixing the mistake, even though it means the whole project will take longer than I thought, is the best thing to do because I'm learning from the whole experience.
Well, at least that's what I'm telling myself.
I did receive a request asking what art supplies I'd like for Christmas present. I haven't responded because I don't know what to ask for. What a nice dilemma to have. I'm leaning towards watercolor paints, but then again, maybe I'll ask for some more pastels. . .hmmmmmm
I am very thankful for the opportunities I've had to be creative in all different ways over the last year. My husband and I were just talking about how this time last year we were carting my four-harness loom home. At that time, I thought all my presents this year would be something I'd woven--HA! But, I've learned about my loom and weaving in general, so I'm thinking next year will be a handwoven Christmas, and birthday. . .and anniversaries. . .Well, you get the idea.
So, what are you thankful for? Be creative and show the ones you love how thankful you are for them. I am so thankful for all the blessings God has given me over the past year, and I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of this year and the next! God is so good!
