Thankful for Who I am today Let's be real for a minute. Life can be rough! We ALL have our struggles. For years, I struggled with being alone and wondering what was so wrong with me that someone wouldn't sincerely love me. I had my oldest daughter to take care of and was able to spend a lot of time with family so that helped to a point. I dated now and then but it never seemed to work out. Finally, I learned to just let go, not worry so much about what others thought of me, be happy with who I was. I still had my daughter, extended family, my job and my friends. When I least expected it, I met my husband, we got married and had 3 more sweet girls. I still have my struggles now and then just like everyone does. Surely, I'm not here just to be a maid, secretary, cook and driver. Do they really appreciate me? (The answer is yes!) Some days, I can look in the mirror and be really hard on myself. Most other days, I know I'm the best ME that I can be. You see, I'm not rich or famous but I'm important. *I* can make a difference in other's lives. *I* can be a friend to those in need. *I* can be the best mom my girls need in their lives. *I* can teach them to be kind and loving. *I* can use the talents I've been given to bless others lives.... *I* can do SO many things if I put my mind to it! I have learned so much over the years. I have grown to love who I am now. Are there things I don't like about my past? You bet! (doesn't everyone?) Would I go back and do it over again? Well, there are a few things I would change, but for the most, the answer is no. The dumb mistakes I've made have been learning blocks for me. The choices I've made have made me who I am today. Am I perfect? NOPE! Not even close. I'm trying to be better though and as long as I'm aware of my weaknesses and working to be better, that's all I can expect from myself. So, yes, I am thankful for who I am today! I've said it before but I want to say it again: YOU are Amazing! YOU are loved! YOU are talented! YOU are important! Nobody else can make a better you! I hope you have enjoyed the 10 Days of Thanksgiving Crochet Event! I appreciate you joining us and commenting with the things you are thankful for too. It's been great to get to know you and I hope to see you more.💕 Special $1 crochet pattern offer for 24 hoursBelow are the crochet patterns we chose to offer for just $1 for the next 24 hours Click on each link and use code 10WhoIam to enjoy the discount expires @ 6am MST 11/22/18 **Refunds will not be given for improper use of the code.

Thankful for Snuggles I love snuggles! I love being able to snuggle little babies to let them know they're safe and loved. I love being able to snuggle a sick child, not that I love them being sick but I love being able to comfort them and let them know that I care about them and hope they get better. For many years, I was a single mom and it could be a very lonely feeling at times. When the time was right, I met the man I knew I was supposed to be with and we got married. It's nice now to be able to just snuggle on the couch and watch a movie together and know that he loves me and our kids. I've also been able to watch my nieces and nephews over the years and loved snuggling with them to get them to take a nap or settle down to watch a movie. I have made each of them a blanket so they could snuggle in that whenever they needed comforted. Note to self: I think I still need to make my last nephew a blanket. I see another new blanket afghan in the works! As I've mentioned many times, handmade afghans are my way of offering comfort and love to my family and friends in their times of need. For today's $1 pattern, I chose the Braided Cable Chevron Afghan. I love the simplicity of the cable climbing the peeks of the chevron.

Thankful for Traditions I find it fascinating to hear the various traditions of families and friends and even others around the world. What is cool about it is that while many may be the same, many put their own little spins on a tradition to make it unique to their families. When I was a little girl, I lived next door to my grandparents. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, she had her banquet table covered with a nice table runner and this beautiful candy dish (or a few of them) filled with Bridge Mix and Chocolate covered orange sticks. I love chocolate covered nuts but HATED the chocolate covered raisins and something about orange and chocolate mixed gives me headaches. I would always try to remember which color of chocolate or which shape may be the nuts. Sadly, I bit into those terrible raisins many more times than I would have liked. Back then, my mom would sew each of us 6 kids a new pair of PJ's to be opened on Christmas eve. It was always fun to have a new pajama to wear to bed. My favorite were made out of Trico or some similar slippery fabric and they were comfy! My siblings and I would draw names and we'd be able to pick out one present for that person. Since all of us are married now, we play the white elephant game for our family Christmas party. Our kids have fun drawing names with their cousins and choosing 1 gift for them. I love that we're able to carry on that tradition for our kids to enjoy. It's something they look forward to and I hope we can keep it going a while longer. The biggest tradition (and I think the best) is the homemade old fashioned candy. Every year, my aunt would make old fashioned fudge, penuche and boston creme and give a package of it to my dad. If we were lucky, he'd share with us. It didn't last long! My uncle would spend a bunch of time in the freezing cold of his garage dipping homemade cherry chocolates. Oh boy! I had the privilege of staying with them my senior year of high school and was able to help him a little (before I got to cold) and watch his process. Sadly, the family doesn't know where his recipe went for those. For a few years, I asked my aunt for her candy recipes and she would just brush it off and we would forget. One year, she finally told me she would have me there when she was making the candy so I could learn the tricks. To my disappointment, she ended up showing her daughter in law. Great for her, but dang it! It took some time and I think by the time I did get it out of her, she wasn't doing well health wise. I reminded her that if she didn't pass them on to one of us, the tradition would be lost. She told me the recipes and I wrote the small set of instructions out as best I could... "A little of this...", A dash of that..." You know how those old recipes go! But the trick wasn't so much in the quantity but more in the process. It took me some time to really get it down but I love that I'm able to carry on that family tradition! She has since passed away and I try to take some candy to her husband so he can still have a bit of her legand during the holidays. It's truly not a holiday without her old fashioned candy! In the spirit of holiday candy making, I chose to offer all of my Kitchen Towel Top crochet patterns for just $1 each for day 8 of the 10 Days of Thanksgiving Crochet Event. I hope you'll enjoy a little holiday cooking too!

Thankful for Crochet Time Today is all about crochet time! Have you ever had a time in your life when you were unable to crochet for some reason? It's so easy to pick up a crochet hook and some yarn and work to our little hearts content whenever we want. I typically crochet while watching a movie or waiting for kids at their events. Many nights, I'll crochet after everyone has gone to bed and I'm able to listen to audio books. I admit that I've taken this freedom for granted many times. If ever I'm unable to crochet, I struggle. Crochet time is my time to be creative, to reflect on events of the week and many times, it's my time to put my talent into a service project. I FINALLY took some time to crochet something for myself. WHAT??? For the past year, I've been so busy making things for family and friends and figured it was about time that I do something that I can keep AND use. Today, I'm releasing my new Queen of Hearts Basket crochet pattern. I've enjoyed using it for yarn and I hope you will too!

Thankful for SeasonsSeasons, not seasonings! 😉 I just had to clarify since we're in the biggest cooking season of the year lol If you're not familiar with this event, you can find out all the details HERE in another blog post I did.  One of the things that I love about living in Northern Utah is the fact that we have 4 very distinct seasons. I know we've talked about it before and many of you are in warmer climates where it stays pretty consistent. I honestly don't have a favorite season. I love each of them for different reasons and getting to live here helps me appreciate them even more.  Spring time means beautiful flowers popping up through the snow and the thought of planting fresh peas in my garden as early as March. Everything is just waking up and fresh and it's just pretty.  Summer means that we get to enjoy sitting on the porch swing and the amazing colors of flowers, planting a garden and watching it grow, camping in the mountains and swimming in outdoor pools. Cookouts with family are a given and the good ole hometown events and parades are in full swing.  Fall is amazing when the leaves start to change color, the wheat fields are golden, corn on the cob is on a must have and county fairs are in full swing. The wildlife starts coming down to the hill sides more and we can watch them in their full beauty. How could you not love it?  Winter brings a new beauty to behold when the first snow of the season falls and all the fields are covered in white. What a sight to see! It brings with it the magic of the season and the thoughts of sitting by a nice warm fire surrounded by those you love. I'm not of fan of the cold but I love seeing my girls sledding down our little hill or building a snowman.

Thankful for Laughter
Who doesn't love to laugh? Some of us chuckle with a big jiggle of our belly. Some of us snort when we laugh more often than we want others to remember. No matter how we laugh, it's contagious. It's a rare occasion when someone is a group starts laughing and others don't automatically follow.
For day 5, I chose to share a brand new crochet pattern with you. I created a blog post to show how this design came to life. You can read about that HERE
The Peppermint Kiss Beanbag has been a fun project for my girls from the moment it was finished. It's such a great feeling to know that your kids love and appreciate your work! They use this bean bag Every Single Day. There have been many moments of laughter while kicking back in this fun little new chair. I hope that you'll make some for the little ones in your family to enjoy for a long time to come. Be sure to give each of these patterns a "Heart" on Ravelry and take advantage of the discount today!

For years, I wanted to design a Peppermint Swirl Christmas Tree Skirt. I've seen others do smaller ideas with the red and white swirls but not to the extent that I wanted to. It had to be AWESOME and it had to be PERFECT!
At the beginning of 2017, I finally decided to give it a try and had an "Ah-Ha" moment which helped me get jumping on the plan. I thought I was SO smart! This was going to be the best thing I've ever designed. I grabbed some red and white yarn that I had on hand, pulled my crochet hook out and off I went.

This was it! It was going to happen! I worked and worked and worked. I made section after section knowing how cool this was going to turn out.
I don't remember exactly what yarn I grabbed first. I just remember that one was red, one was white and they were the same brand. Silly me, I should know better but I did NOT work a swatch of each color prior to working the sections. I learned my lesson! Not all colors in the same brand are created equally! So, in case you ever need to work something that requires matching gauge and you're using more than 1 color, learn from my mistake and do a swatch with each color to make sure they work to the same size first.

So, now what?
Well, the written pattern instructions were where I wanted them so it was just a matter of finding a red and white yarn in the same brand to work to the same size. I ended up using Lion Brand's Pound of Love yarn and started over. |

Thankful for Holidays
If you're new to the 10 Days of Thanksgiving Event, here's a quick recap. Each day during this event, 3 crochet designers and I will post something we're thankful for along with a pattern priced at $1 for 24 hours. Check back each day for a new code and new pattern deals!
Do you enjoy holidays? There are some that I love and some that I'm not a big fan. I really enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas because it means family time which is the most important part of my life. Halloween on the other hand, not my favorite. It's never been my favorite. I'm not big in dressing up and it's become so much more gory from when I was young. I just don't like the feeling it gives. My girls have fun dressing up but they're not big on the scary side of it either.
Valentines is another holiday that I struggled with for a long time. When you're single and see so many people caring about their significant other, it seems to make lonely even lonelier. Sure, I was happy for those who were in love and appreciated. It was just hard. As I've grown older though, I like to do something for my girls to make them feel loved. I love flowers and they're nice to receive now and then but the prices during this holiday are silly. Send me a single flower sometime during the year just because and it would mean more to me. I do however love babies! I love celebrating them and seeing beautiful photos of them which is why I created the "With All My Heart Photo Prop".

With All My Heart Photo Prop crochet pattern
This pattern is such a great option for photography props! You could also leave the Love Knot stitch off and use it as a blanket or rug. The crochet pattern includes instructions for the large and small hearts. Making 2 hearts and stitching them together would create a fun pillow too!
Think outside the box and have fun with this one.
