Once Upon a Time...

...many years ago, I had a sewing machine.

And I knew how to do clever things like have the lace end up on the outside, instead of the inside, of this cloth Christmas wreath.

Despite having almost no "free" time, I had a lot more energy then, and managed to make this festive wreath. Or did I? Now I'm wondering if perhaps I bought it at a craft sale...

Never mind -- as my last year as a sexagenarian draws near, I'm enjoying this wreath again, no matter who made it; remembering my 30s with gratitude for all I accomplished during those very busy years; and with even more gratitude, relishing this truly "free time" now.
