Criminally Untamed Designs

As I wrap up the last commission of 2025, I reflect on what a strange year it has been. I'm entering the new year with thoughts and actions to attract abundance, happiness, and wealth.

Any crocheters want to help me test the pattern for these babies? I'll take 5 volunteers. I'm finishing it out today.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of my followers, clients, supporters, and friends. Each of you has touched my life, or challenged my abilities, and helped me to succeed in little and big ways. Each time that I am able to pay a kindness forward, I think of you. ♥️

I also recognize that today is shaded with darker meaning as I have matured and come to understand the role our ancestors played in destroying an entire continent of people.

Thanksgiving is a day of mixed legacies. For some, it is a national holiday centered on harvest, family, and gratitude, while for others, especially many Native Americans, it is a reminder of the oppression and bloodshed that followed European colonization. Many Native populations opened their homes, and hearts in the 1600's to European immigrants. Remember that.

Use today to reflect on all that there is to be thankful for, including lessons of our past, and things to be learned in our future.

Happy Thanksgiving!
