If you have followed this blog long enough, you might remember "Thoughtsgiving" -- a "holiday" that I created with a couple of friends from the pub, in 2010. It's the name that we gave Thanksgiving Eve. We gather at The Green Onion pub on that day and reflect on what we are thankful for. I made a tradition out of creating small collage lapel pins for the event. COVID put a damper on all of that (if you look back at Thoughtsgivings before 2020, you can see some of them). But last year, my friend Maisie made some crocheted Thoughtsgiving pins and we tried to resurrect the event. It was small, but very meaningful last year. This year, we hope to re-invigorate the tradition. And I am very excited to say that Maisie and I are going to do a collaboration on the lapel pins. Here are some of the bases for the pins, on which Maisie will be adding an embroidery element. I can't wait to share pictures of the finished pieces!
