Still working on Simplifying

Well today is Friday and time for another blog post.

Sometimes I find it difficult to think of blog topics to write about,

other times ideas just keep filling up in my thoughts!

Today was an easy one!

As I was quietly knitting socks this morning,

I was reminded of how gentle and quiet this art form truly is.

It is definitely a way of living out my word for the year Simplify,

for Knitting only requires you to be present.

Knitting is a constant companion,

and it makes me feel good every time I pick up my needles,

it is always a good reason to gather with others

and the finished product is usually awesome!

For Christmas I wanted to create a pair of

hand knit socks for each of my daughter n laws,

for as I am knitting on any project,

I always knit love and affirmations into what I am working on!

I ran out of time and was having a hard 

time finishing two pairs of socks,

then my hubby said

"Why don't you wrap up one a piece?"

So I did with the promise note

that the other one would be coming soon!

So I have been knitting away on the

second sock for each girl!

Here is a picture of each of

Heather and Lauren's feet

each wearing their only sock from me

on Christmas morning!

There are so many opportunities to slow ourselves down,

enjoy the simple things in this life of ours,

I am definitely working on a slower pace at the present moment,

I must say it feels good to me.

So I hope that your weekend will be one filled

with creativity and all good things.

Find a way to simplify your life today,

what can you put aside just for the moment?
