Counting My Blessings

I KNOW I am very lucky.

I do not have to worry about the basics - the very basics; food, shelter, clothing. I live simply, but I live well and according to my own life choices. I live in a wealthy country, one of the safest in the entire world, that offers medical care to all. I enjoy freedom unknown to countless others.

My environment is clean by comparison to smog-ridden cities elsewhere. Water and land are in abundance in my corner of our world. I count my blessings for these things and so, so many others every day.

In spite of all this, I tremble and quake.......

WILL I HAVE ENOUGH THREAD?

    You're so funny! It's a beauty even if you have to stop now..but since you feel the need to finish (and hopefully without adding more thread), I will keep my fingers crossed for you since you can't actually do that for yourself while tatting! :)

    You can cross your toes as well!!

    Can I tell? Goodness no!!! I am a complete novice. I meant it as a testament to how pretty it already is. I now have my toes crossed as well, please finish quickly, kinda hard to walk!

    If you're using a 50 yard skein of HDT, yes! You will have enough to finish! I promise! Unless, of course, you cut some of the thread off. In fact, you should have enough left to make two Stumpy bookmarks! : )

    Hey,Diane,
    I have been looking at all your Wheels for reassurance!

    I knew beforehand that you had LOTS left, but, I have had a number of unfortunate starts......: ))

    Perhaps it is time for you to start calculating thread requirements? I know that you know where to find the formula because you sent it to me. Unless, of course, you thoroughly enjoy the suspense of not knowing...

    The doily is coming out nicely, don't worry and just keep tatting.
