I had some little fabric pieces from Walmart . I decided to make a few pillows to give some happy touches of red (since winter is often a gray time---however also often sunny here in SC!)

I am thankful that I finally remembered how to take some close up pictures with my camera! And I am thankful for finding the camera manual---perhaps some tips shall help me!

I wanted to make some little wreaths--I found some wire and I had some pecan shells---used my glue gun and presto--I like them....I was inspired by the picture I found the other day--here it is below

I'm loving these little 'thankful' posts.
One of the things I am striving for here is "Contentment" ...an attitude of Thankfulness nurtures contentment.
I find your list encouraging!
Carry on, Pat

I love that your sewing machine is a "Hello Kitty" style, Nanny Kim! That would make me feel happy every time I saw it. The pillows you made are very pretty and so are the little pecan wreaths. There are so many good ideas on Pinterest -- that web site also makes me happy as it's so much fun to browse!

Have a good weekend full of many thankful moments!
