Thanksgiving Arrangement The Prudent Homemaker

Today didn’t go as I had planned, yet I still managed to accomplish several needed things today, thanks to help from my family. My two youngest children were ill, but everyone helped to make them as happy and as comfortable as possible, and they took turns reading to and holding my youngest and helping extra in the kitchen so I could hold him when he only wanted mom. I’m grateful that everyone pitched in and helped.

What are you thankful for today?

    Today I am thankful we had a wonderful day in the garden thinning out volunteer marigolds, sweet corn and watermelon seedlings. We were able to make another 5 metre row of sugar baby watermelons in the gardens, 2 x 5mt rows of marigolds on either end of one of our large garden beds, and 5 x 1mt rows of sweet corn.

  4. I am thankful for the weaver’s group meeting that I attended before our handweaver’s and spinners guild meeting last night. I learned so much about how to read weaving patterns and feel much more comfortable figuring out my 1st 4-shaft weaving project. I am also thankful for the guild meeting where an amazing master weaver, Inge Dam, gave us a bit of a talk about what she does, then let us oooh and awwe over her stunning woven fabrics, which she often trims with beautiful beadwork! Here’s a link to see some of her gorgeous fabrics: https://ingedam.wordpress.com/galleries/

  7. I am thankful for the kindness of others. I went to the store and I was running late. The line was long even though I had just a few items. The woman in front of me had a full cart. She offered to let me go in front of her! It was a sweet kindness on a busy day.

  8. 11-18 I am thankful for my siblings….my one sister and my four brothers. I am glad my parents raised us with the importance of family and unconditional love.

    11-19 I am thankful for this blog Brandy writes for all of us. I appreciate the styling of it, the lack of obtrusive ads popping up and covering the content, the lack of advertising name dropping.
