Knitting has taken over a lot of my spare time. Preparing gifts for Christmas has been an ever present task over the past few months. Shawls and scarves for friends and family scatter my bedroom.
Although Christmas has past, the knitting still continues. Finishing a yellow blanket for Pippi and a blue one for Tommy before his birthday is now the focus of my time. There are more friends and family that I want to make scarves for before the winter season passes. Giving gifts year round as "just because" is sometimes more memoriable.
In the evening when Heather and Pippi read bedtime stories, a new tradition has been birthed. They crawl in my bed both clad in the shaws that I have knitted for them. Listening to the stories of fantistic characters like "Grandfather Frog", "Raggedy Ann and Andy", "Big Susan" as well as many other wonderful tales while knitting is a delight.
Making memories with family and creating a sence of history in the lives of the children enrich the lives of all involved.
My heart is full. Blessings overflow. Our Father has given us a unique opportunity while living under one roof.
