  holidays can be busy and hectic and stressful and even anxiety inducing. practicing gratefulness helps some.

• Yarnings: Spinning a Tale:
  • WIP: Rad Ultralight from Knitty in Color. Still thinking it might become a citron, called something about wormholes because it looks like the rainbow colors in wormholes - and I've watched a lot of SG-1 and Farscape while spinning the singles ;)
• Yarnings: Stitch Through Time: English Paper Piecing (EPP); mentioned All Points Patchwork by Diane Gilleland; 19 of the flowers sewn together with accent color between. 14 flowers still to be sewn together. part of the accent color hexis need basting for filling in and edging. A few extra hexis will turn into half-flower motifs to fill in as well. Checked out The New Hexagon. so enjoying this!
• Yarnings: Knitting Community: the finale of 2015 convokal thread. Started watching a new podcast, daizieknits on youtube. the knitting community is such a blessing to me!

• Book of Cooking: tried Beecher's Mac and Cheese. my favorite thanksgiving food at our family gathering - butternut squash (which might not get made?), my sister-in-law's pineapple salad (with red hots and cool whip!), white meat turkey my dad makes, with our family's cranberry salad made by my sister. I like Pumpkin Pie with cool whip, and when I cook, I love to make coconut cream pie.
• Happiness Continues: sending signals to the body that it's okay by stacking the joints. groundedness and balance in all things is good :)
