I don't know what made me just think of browsing back your blog this morning but I think there must have been a need to read your words. It's been a year where time has had claims on it and trying to fit in personal things has been at a premium so, everything has been done as quickly as possible with no time for the luxury of thought but, now, I have a lot of time to reflect and realise that time spent making things for special people in your life is a wonderful way of showing you care. <br />I've loved looking at your ornaments and the loving way you finish them. Giving the making of each ornament, and each friend receiving it, a share of your time is giving more than a gift, it's giving love too :>)<br />Warm hugs Angelaangelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-91594934839667701382009-11-14T18:18:41.217-07:002009-11-14T18:18:41.217-07:00Well said.

I have a ring I found a few years ago at a local crafts fair that says "Follow your bliss" and I wear it every day as a reminder. I find/follow my bliss when I make the special something for a friend or relative or when I purchase that perfect something .. it truly is the thought that counts .. that's why I don't do gift cards .. I really enjoy spending time looking for the perfect thing :)<br /><br />I love your ornament! the beads are lovely :)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736532102842862232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-7225153551297344192009-11-09T04:28:49.429-07:002009-11-09T04:28:49.429-07:00I just love reading your blog.

All I want to do is sit, stitch, do some finishing, etc. I wish more people appreciated homemade gifts. They truly are from the heart...lately the next generation is so wrapped up in the 'technology' of things...I hope that changes.tkdquintmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864730850003365260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-20139005301257060482009-11-08T14:58:47.546-07:002009-11-08T14:58:47.546-07:00Hi Staci, finally finding time to go a blogging, s...Hi Staci, finally finding time to go a blogging, sorry for not dropping in for sometime!!<br /><br />Love your little stitched things and I know what you mean about trying to get things done for the holiday.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that I am going to make your midsomer fingerless mittens as a gift for my daughter for Christmas, Thank you for sharing, will post a picture when I get going on it.

And lovely work, too. :) I am lucky in that my immediate family, a few friends that also stitch, my BIL's wife, and my brother and his family like my stitching. Last year I extended my ornament stitching to my other brother's kids and not one of them thanked me or acknowledged receipt until I asked if they got them. I have horror stories of things my MIL has done, too. So, I stitch for who enjoys them, and that's enough for me. Like you said, good thoughts and wishes are woven into each stitch.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158460624356909480.post-50926156961666548332009-11-07T13:10:15.416-07:002009-11-07T13:10:15.416-07:00I agree that a gift card has the warmth of an iceb...I agree that a gift card has the warmth of an iceberg, and I feel like I'm not putting any of myself, or any thought into picking one up, but increasingly, my grandchildren, and even my kids, are saying that they like getting gift cards so that they can have the fun of picking out something.<br />Besides me, only my dil still makes gifts by hand, and my son told me that she is backing off, haven gotten discouraged, and downright hurt by the comments that some of the other side of the family, members have made to her.
