So I explained on my other blog that this week I was going to be grateful for everything in my life. So the first easy thing to be grateful for is my obsessive need to make and create things. I saw this little pillow thing in a magazine and I loved it. So I made my own pattern and embroidered the picture and saying and made a little hangy thing.
I am also grateful for my strawberry patch in my back yard. Now, most people who know me know that I don't really like the whole garden green thumb thing. I got these 6 strawberry starts the first spring we moved in to our house. My sister Candy basically made me plant them. And now 5 years later I have a beautiful patch of strawberry plants. And every time I go in my back yard I am reminded of my sister and her memory and her love of plants.
They have taken a hard hit the last week because Steve was gone to California and there was no one here to remember to water them. I am thankful for a husband who automatically takes care of the yard so that I don't have to.
Side note I am not grateful to the annoying wasp that stung me in the ear this morning when I went out into the yard....yah, it's gonna take a while to be thankful for everything.

society president in our ward and I am the secretary. I know that Carol frequently shows at the doors of members who she might be concerned about or maybe she just knows they need a visit. She often takes them flowers to brighten their days. So she showed up on my doorstep with a bundle of the funnest flowered fabric in a fat quarter style with a note expressing her sympathy for my situation. When I opened the door she said, "I thought about bringing you flowers and so I brought you these cause I thought you might like them." OMG does she know me or what? I love my flowered fat quarters. Carol is a very special person and I will always remember her thoughtfulness.
