Year by year, we grow. We grow into ourselves. Hopefully with each year we grow more and more into authentic versions of ourselves. For me, this year has been an incredible opportunity to express the most authentic version of myself. To craft whenever and however I like, not necessarily being tied to the popularity or push of knitting, but unconciously choosing an older, slower form of craft in weaving. To choose this textile, craft and art as a means and way of living. Maybe the concept of “authentic version” of yourself is quite selfish… maybe it translates into being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want… including sometimes choosing snowboarding over working at the dispensary. But I think the concept has more to do with being honest with yourself and creating balance… being true to yourself. And every day, I meditate on how intensely blessed I am to be able to do this work that I love.
Over the past four years, I have noted my top five thoughts, ideas, favourites, whatevers… and this year, I am thinking about all the things that I am grateful for. Every day has truly been a gift and every trial has been an opportunity for me to grow. For these opportunities I am grateful.
- I am grateful for all the wonderful, eventful, and memorable times with friends this year including everything from snowboarding at Whistler and Cypress to river rafting in Clearwater, the Pemberton Music Festival and Whistler weekends in the summer and more. Everything from the big events to the small, quiet evenings with friends.
- I am grateful for the health and safety of my family and friends. Into the new year, I pray that each and every one of them will find peace, happiness, joy and bliss.
- I am grateful that I have a place to live and means of transportation (even though it failed me at the side of the highway in Kamloops in the summer and is now buried under snow). After hearing about the local woman who accidentally set fire to herself trying to stay warm, I have no excuse to whine about my place being chilly. None at all.
- I am grateful for the opportunity to try to make an honest, hardworking effort at bringing SweetGeorgia Yarns into existence, both online and in-person. This is completely new for me and I know I am making mistakes left, right and centre… missing things and missing out on things… but I will continue to do my best to make this opportunity work.
- I am grateful for the continued support of friends, family, readers, knitters, weavers, customers, and fellow crafters. Sometimes, I am frustrated with myself for not being able to move forward faster and stronger, but this is the best that I can do with the energy and the resources that I have now.
That’s already five, but I’d also like to add that I’m grateful and excited that Kim Werker nudged and convinced me to go to TNNA in San Diego in January… I’ve never been to either. Actually, I’ll be flying to Los Angeles a few days early and driving to San Diego, possibly stopping for some surfing or yarn stores along the way. We’ll see. Having never left Vancouver for an actual yarn industry type activity, I know no one… but I’m hoping to meet a few of my heros including Cat Bordhi, Maggie Casey, and Stephanie Japel…
I am also looking forward to starting to offer spinning and weaving classes during late January and February. There are currently a ton of hand spindles in the studio, and three new spinning wheels are on the UPS truck to me. The shipment should include a Schacht Ladybug wheel, Louet Victoria, and Louet Julia spinning wheels plus a bunch of small looms. I am nervous and yet so very excited about 2009.
In grand holiday tradition, our Top 5 has become a yearly blog contest… Tell me what you are grateful for this year and maybe what you are looking forward to in 2009. Of course, I will be sending one randomly selected responder some lovely hand-dyed yarn. Please post your thoughts via the comments box below by Monday, December 31 at midnight PST.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours,
sweetgeorgia (aka Felicia)
I’m grateful for great friends. I’m most looking forward to learning to weave. I was gifted a Harrisville loom and I can’t wait to get her going.

I’m grateful for going to sleep next to the man I love every night and waking up besides him every morning. I’m grateful for our little son, who came into the world this year, and who has taught me much about myself. I’m grateful for the strength I’ve had to stay upright throught the times of trials, and I’m grateful that these times have passed leaving both me and my family even stronger.
Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for the next wonderful year!
I am grateful for two things that are currently constant in my life while everything else seems to drastically change. My mother and my knitting, both of which help keep me sane, esp. at this time of year.
That fibre is beautiful.

Truly and honestly I’m so grateful for my group of friends that manage to keep me sane and grounded throughout the year. I’m sure I’d be lost without them.

Sitting here on a warm tropical evening, I am absolutely grateful to be living in a wonderful country with friends and family that are able to live and express themselves freely. And the oppurtunity to travel in 2009 – Italian yarn here I come!

My fabulous loving husband and the beautiful warm comfy house we built out of logs 2 summers ago. My 2 gorgeous children who are a constant reminder of who I am and how I can improve myself. Merry Christmas Felicia to you and your family.

I have so much to be grateful for–home, family, a happy life–but amid all this, when I’m reading blogs like this one I also feel intensely grateful to the people who share the beauty they create so that the rest of us can be inspired!

I’m grateful for my family… we’ve been through a lot this year, so I’m kindof glad this year is over! As for next year, I’m looking forward to a better year for my family, more peace, and completing my practicum and getting my teaching certificate! Have a Merry Christmas!

1, 2, and 3 I am grateful that my husband and daughter are alive and well and with me.
I am grateful for being good at what I do and being able to learn how to be better.
I am grateful for the wonderful knitting community I have found online, you included.

i am learning to be grateful for every single day that i am alive. i am also endlessly grateful for my family and their beautiful hearts. and in 2009 i am looking forward to hopefully being in better health, and to accept that things could always be worse than what they are. :0)
I’m grateful that the online community (and actual fiber stores) is still strong – creating gorgeous yarns and fibers. That we can still (although maybe on a smaller scale) support each other monetarily and spiritually in our fibery pursuits. And having those sources keeps me internally happy – important for me!

This will sound odd, I’m simply grateful for perspective. You need to be down to really appreciate the ups.
I’m glad you’re going to TNNA – Stefanie Japel is one of my all time favourites.
I am grateful for the time I get to spend with my ageing basset hound, just hanging out… doing nothing.
I look forward to practicing my color-work skills in 2009.

I am grateful for people who have made their main purpose in life bringing beauty into the world through their art and craft.
I am grateful for technology which helps bring people closer together by alowing freedom in communication and greater understanding of each other. Perhaps some day our governments will catch up with us.

I’m grateful that we’ve had good health news this year in my family.
I’m grateful that I’ve found a great boyfriend who I could see spending the rest of my life with.
I’m grateful that I have a great apartment, a job/internship that I love, and that I’ll be graduating with my masters degree come april.
I’m a pretty lucky person. If only I can add a little more time to knit/spin, a little more money, and a pet it’ll be perfect.

I am incredibly grateful that with the support of family and newfound love, I made it through a health crisis with my sanity intact.
I’m also thankful that I graduated from University and have the luxury to live someplace where higher education was accessible to me.

This year I am grateful for a happy, healthy family that puts up with my growing fibre obsession and stash all over the house!
And as for what I am looking forward to in 2009, that would be a new bundle of joy whom I can’t wait to shower with all the baby knits (esp. socks) that my first two did not get to enjoy.
Congratulations on your Studio Opening!!!

I’m grateful for the snow, even though it makes getting around the city absolutely ridiculous.
Also grateful for the studio space that is available on an hourly basis (close to a bus route!) so I don’t have to dye in my kitchen :)

I am grateful for the fact that I’m able to create a life for myself that is constantly getting closer and closer to what I want it to be. I think that your concept of growing into an authentic version of ourselves applies really well to what I am experiencing, and that’s definitely something for which I am grateful. Thank you, by the way, for putting it into words, you expressed it beautifully.

I am grateful for my parents’ support to leave a job that I no longer enjoy and that was not treating me well, in favor of a 180-degree career change from Accounting to Baking. Thank you Mommy & Daddy (even though I know you don’t know I wrote this!).

I’m grateful for a supportive family to help me get through cartoonish work/school crises this year — and (sort of) for the work crises, which helped put into perspective how lucky I am to have a sane, calm and supportive family despite everything else. I’m looking forward to getting through a big milestone in school early in 2009, and hopefully to making some positive changes in my work/life balance once that milestone is accomplished — more time with DH, and more time for fiber!

I’m grateful for the people I had the chance to meet this year, who have done so much to help me through a bad work situation. I’m grateful for my family, who have been so supportive through the same. And although many people in Vancouver may hate me, I’m grateful for this white Christmas. Gorgeous views. Worth the travel mayhem.
In 2009 I’m looking forward to a year full of fibre and knitting and hopefully a new job at some point.

Among other things, and despite my complaints about not having enough time, I’m grateful for all the time I do get to just craft. I’m grateful for my crafty friends and non-crafty boy who all encourage me in my crazy adventures.
In 2009 – I actually don’t know… more of the same would be fantastic. =)

This may be the most ridiculous post yet, but I’m grateful for healthy ribs. I recently visited my sister who had hers bruised during class (she’s a dancer) and I never realized how much you can’t do with a pair of bruised ribs. ^_^
In 2009, I’d like to remain healthy, ribs and all.

These last couple of days have reminded me how lucky I am to have my family so close. And I totally won the Mother-In-Law lottery.
I don’t know if I’m “looking forward” to this year so much as “crossing my fingers.” I just applied yesterday to go back to school and I’m a bit of a nervous wreck. But thank goodness I’ve got my husband, family, friends, pets and yummy fiber to get me through it.

I am grateful that I have enough money to spend on yarn. To be able to move my hands… To create what I love… To share my knitted items with friends and family. My family had a rough year health-wise, so I’m glad that we’re all healthy now.

I’m grateful for surviving an international move with my sanity intact and receiving the most wonderful batch of sock yarns from my mother, who knew I really needed to knit. I’m grateful to have survived the trials of this year and am grateful to have my family and friends by my side to embrace the new year.

I am grateful for my humble but stable economic situation. I am grateful for the love of handcrafting/creation that my mother instilled in me. I am grateful for my physical health and ability to learn from mistakes and become a better person.
In 2009, I will learn to weave. The loom is ordered!

I have had an amazing year!
I am grateful for my new sweetie – this past year has seen us move in together, meet each other’s family, travel abroad, play together… and it keeps getting better.
I am also sooooo thankful that I have been able to create enjoyable work for myself in two awesome areas: knitting and hoop dancing! Three Bags Full and Urban Yarns are so very different, but both wonderful places to work and teach and sell my designs.. and my hooping business has been growing at a manageable rate (here’s hoping that my January classes fill up!)
Your point #5 really clicked with me – frustration with myself for not doing this, that or the other thing (or not doing them in a timely fashion) has been a rough spot, but a good exercise in being gentle with myself, and in asking for help and support to get things done.
Thanks for the reminder to stop and reflect!

I’m grateful for my family’s health and happiness, my husband and son and our due-in-two-weeks second child, and for the fact that all I need to be happy is to sit at home knitting on the couch and knowing we’re all under the same roof.
p.s. Am I crazy, or is December 31st a Wednesday this year? Can I really be the only one to notice that?

just looking at your photos makes me want to start weaving again. it’s been awhile since i’ve last wove.

I’m most grateful for life. I was very ill a few years ago, and now I am in good health. This is wonderful. Also, I’m grateful that although I’ve lost my job, my family is eating and staying warm. God is taking care of us.

I am grateful to those persons who come to see live theatre in NYC during these difficult economic times – without audience members attending shows, neither I nor my friends and coworkers would have any work and I feel very lucky to continue to be employed.

I’m thankful for the end of the year, and the start of a hopefully better one. I’m thankful that we have a new President. I’m grateful that my husband continues to be healthy, and that my nieces and nephews are growing like weeds.

First of all, that orange/pink fiber is stunning…I love it and want it all for myself! lol.
Honestly, I’m just grateful that I made it through this year! There were a lot (a lot!) of downs, and not so many ups, but I am so very grateful for the relationships that have gotten me through and the fact that I found knitting and all things fiber related to relieve the tension! I can’t wait to start the new year…particularly since I’m getting married in May, then I start grad school (hopefully!) in September.
Here’s to a fantastic new year for all of us!

I love the look of the woven BFL. A loom is on my “One Day…” wish list!
I’m grateful for a boyfriend I love, good health, and having enough money to get by on. I’m greatful for yarn and knitting. I’m greatful for healthy, happy parents and brother and sister. I’m aslo greatful for starting a new job next week I think will be fun and fulfilling.
And more shallow-ly I’m grateful for having nice hair, looking a lot younger than I am, and the fact by boyfriend thinks I’m gorgeous – is it ok to be greatful for these things? lol

Thanks for another inspiring list. As I struggle to settle 2008 and prepare for 2009, your list and thoughts strike a cord and prompt some thought on my part. Happy new year.

I’m grateful that my husband is still with us, and steadily improving after being suddenly diagnosed with leukemia early in the fall. Friends and family reached out and lifted us up when we thought we would sink beneath the waves. Words cannot express my feelings of gratitude.
I’m grateful to my dear SIL who taught me how to k & p last year during a visit. Though I’m just starting, being able to touch and work with yarn has quieted my racing heart and mind, and helps me to quit fidgeting! Traveling the internet in search of yarn and yarn stories has opened up a beautiful window to color and texture, and new friendships.
