When we were moving from Seattle to MD and Jon was already on the east coast and the kids and I were in Seattle trying to sell our home, all of my craft stuff was already shipped but I saved a bunch of odds and ends of yarn to knit a blanket. I called it "the moving blanket". And every night I would work on it and pray that this move was the right move, that we would find what we are looking for, that we would be happy. I felt as though I was stitching those prayers in with the yarn. Logan has now adopted "the moving blanket" and it has permanent residence on his bed.
I'm going to try and make a point to incorporate this type of meditation into all of my crafting work. If you plan on making gifts this year, take a moment to quiet the rush inside of you and honor the person you are making this gift for, release a blessing for them. And in your heart when they open your gift you will know they are receiving more than a scarf/skirt or hat...they are receiving your best intentions for them.

I Love...in case there was any doubt. It lives on the back of the futon and I curl up in it when Greg and I have movie night.
