Today we had a Relief Society activity to work on some of our unfinished crafts.  It wasn't too well attended - way too many things to do on a day off from work and school, but those of us that were there enjoyed ourselves immensely.  One of the sisters set her alarm to go off just before 11:11 so we could all make a wish.  Here are the wish makers.  I love all the intense thought that is going on.  

I still had time to make my own wish.  11:11 does last for a whole minute you know. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of my thoughtful face.  
This is the project I was working on today.

I bought this sewing at a thrift store before last Thanksgiving.  I just think the children and animals giving thanks are so sweet.  Now it is almost Thanksgiving again and I have not made much progress toward my goal of turning it into a pillow.  Well actually, my friend's cat thought it made a perfect pillow just the way it is.  

It has been awhile since I did any crewel like this and my eyes and my glasses had a hard time working together to do it.  I find it is easiest to take my glasses off and hold it close to see, but then I get a big kink in my neck and I can't sew and watch TV with my glasses off. Getting older is full of so many challenges.  Maybe by next Thanksgiving I will actually have this pillow on display.  
Today I am thankful for
brakes that actually work on my van even though it took 9 months, 3 attempts, over $1,000 and 2 establishments to finally get it right.  
women who know me and still like me.
Fall weather.
all the men and women who have sacrificed so much so I can enjoy life as I know it.

Love the pillow picture and will love seeing the pillow finished whenever you have it made. I can relate to the sewing and wearing glasses and watching tv. Guess we're related in another way. I'm glad your van has brakes, you have good friends and I get to be your sister. Love ya!
what a cute craft you are working on. I can't wait to see it as a pillow. We forgot to watch for 11:11 at our house so no wishing here. Your trip to Disneyland looked fun.
