So, someone else in the family has taken up knitting. I tell ya, Sarah is a quick study. She whipped this scarf out in no time after Grace showed her the basics. It's quite endearing to look over and see the two of them sitting together knitting. Ah, sister love, it warms a mother's heart.
Another thing on my radar (um, for the girls of coarse--but not really), is this darling felt sewing tote from CK. Now I ask you, is this crazy cute, or what? It's featured in the winter catalog, now available online from the UK here. Please, visit at your own peril though. I seriously wanted to have a good cry afterwards. It's all SO sweet and inaccessible. And, among other things, I'm still thinking about this post entitled 'Letting Go'. Still hard to accept that a fantastic magazine like Home Companion (and others) can just fade away forever. Indeed, the times are a changing. Sigh.
Time to get busy!
Sarah is a quick learner. Very nice job Sarah! I just love cute things like that. It is hard to believe I know and I'm not sure I always like these changing times.

That sewing box is so adorable!!!!
I think I might have to get one for my daughter (cough-me) too..lol
Home Companion, very sad.
I so loved that magazine. I have them from way back. I loved the part where they would interview artist, back then there wasn't many of those to be found.
Hope you and your family had a most wonderful Thanksgiving, full of love and happiness.

To have sisters, that always has been a dream of mine :-) And ofcourse it's no surprise they are creative, with your genes!

That sewing box is so sweet! I weep a little whenever I look at the CK goodies, wishing that somehow I could manage to get something!! I also weep a little when I think about Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion. I am just getting down all of my Christmas issues from the attic right now, so I can peruse, be inspired and reminisce.

Oh that little sewing box is obscene! You make me want to have another little girl so I can watch the knit together. So utterly lovely to think about.
Now, off to Cath Kidston's page for a good cry!
