"I think I could,if I only new how to begin.
For,you see, so many out-of-the-way things had
happened lately that ALICE had begun to think
that very few things indeed were really impossible"
Lewis Carroll
I have been thinking~
sometimes it's hard to begin~
and wishing~
wishing for things to be done~
and wishing for new things to start~
and believing~
because you simply must believe in something~
So many out-of the-way things have been happening.
The
magazine is finally available~
2 weeks seemed like such a long time to wait for some~
And it was possible to feel like a queen~
with a small crown~
a
swap package arrived~
all the way from
Tasmania ~
and as I unwound~
I realized you could stay
connected
in a multitude of ways~
and that very few things were impossible indeed~
I could begin~
at the beginning~
and create~
and so can you~
{I hope you like my journal...
made of cotton and wool and all things good...
I need to draw something for the cover~
for the opening I have left~
so I must again begin to think~}

What precious gifts!
Beautiful post. You are a queen...so wear your little crown proudly as you begin to "think".
Oh and although I am not a knitter - if you do the yarn ball next year - count me in. I think I just may know someone who can knit me up something special. I was bummed I hadn't thought of that sooner.
All my best, Heather
I love your posts, T. They make me think and wish......

The yarn ball swap was fabulous T, thank you for organising it. Your journal is so nice, show us what you decide to put on the front.
lucky you !can't wait to see your goodies in person !
I have to tell you that I was at the bookstore today simply browsing through the magazines, and there you were! It was an unexpected serendipitous moment that brought a smile to my face. I beamed as I read your words and admired your images as I do each day on your Flickr photostream. It was truly a treat.
Wonderful Alice in Wonderland quote. Congratulations!
Reading your words, seeing your images always have a calming effect on me. It's what I appreciate the most about coming to your space on a regular basis. Such a beautiful yarn ball and your journal is amazing...I hope you show it again when you decide what is fitting for the front section.
So much goodness here. so beautifully presented. please share more of your journal. in the meantime happy thinking - and a wonderful weekend to you.
What a lovely post! I love the yarn ball swap idea - I've seen a couple of them on blogs recently. Love your little crown!
that was fun to read. i love it when i al of a sudden feel like a queen, sometimes with a huge crown, but usually with a nice little one...i liked that part, especially, the small crown part.
I really love photo of the ball of yarn with the photo of the Eiffel tower! Beautiful post!
Stopping by to say Happy Valentine's Day to a sweet sweet friend :)
Am checking out your blog, just received Artful Blogging, congrats on an amazing article!! Love your photos and your blog! I am also a knitter & love wool! Have knit since I was 8, long time now... very impressed, will come back & visit!!
Beautiful gifts & wonderful swaps. Those things make the everyday so special.
Miss you T. I love your thoughts and how you express them.
Keep warm
when my grandmother was a small girl in Latvia in the early 1900s she received a similar gift...hers had a crochet hook tucked in the outside
and as she worked, small treasures tumbled out of the yarn ball
