Day 29 - End of Round One
I woke up early to finish working on a project that I had promised to a customer. That finally finished, I copied several articles that I'm going to send to my son at college-making a weekly digest from home of bits of silly and serious stuff that I know he'd enjoy reading. Also ordered a trial subscription of an international newspaper for my husband that he's been "borrowing" from a friend. One thing leading to another, I decided to make a donation to the charity "Room to Read" which that…See More

I didn't know you knitted that's awesome! I started knitting in December and I am addicted, it's so relaxing to me, except when I mess up! I started my first project earlier this month, a baby blanket for my cousin's baby. That…

had an unusual Chinese bronze in my inventory a couple of years back; it was a Chinese figure holding a large rope draped around his neck with coins attached at either end of the rope. It stood on a rocky base with a three toed frog climbing up the…

A Day In The Life
Yesterday I sent out Valentine cards and little gifts to Ryan H. and Ruby J., two of the brave kids going through treatment and recovery from serious illnesses, whose stories I read on the PostPals site.Made Valentines cards and some homemade gifts to send to my older son and his family who live overseas. This past weekend I bought some hardly used hardback and paperback books at our local library fundraising sale; today I boxed up the titles that I thought the Pine Ridge Reservation high…See More

What a wonderful handmade gift to a very deserving charity. The Lakota children will really appreciate the gift of a warm hat made especially for them! :)

You go girl :) Sounds like your giving is flowing so nicely this week!
Tracy Morrow commented on Aerie Faerie's blog post 'Gathering Nuts for Winter'
What a great reminder! Thank you. I always put food out in the winter for the birds and squirrels and haven't done this yet. I did see a cracked nut shell on my back porch though, I think they were trying to give me a hint! I'm going to…
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- It's the start of the New Year..I want to do things differently from now on. Around the holidays I seem to find myself singing John Lennon's plaintive song, "Merry Christmas/War is Over". Next year I want a better answer to the question he puts to us there: " And so it is Christmas, and What have you done?"
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Friendship
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Cami Wilson's interview on National Public Radio
- About me:
- Artist,
painting restorer and craftsperson.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Gathering Nuts for Winter
Posted on January 21, 2010 at 9:54am 3 Comments 0 Likes
Today, the first sunny day after several winter storms, brought a wonderful gift... Lots of beautiful birds at the feeders that my husband and I put up in the yard. Red Cardinals, Blue Jays, Orioles and tiny wrens and even an ungraceful squirrel still trying to help himself to the bounty. It was so gratifying to see them use the feeders that they had been completely ignoring for a week or more. Success!

Five Days;Five Hats
Posted on January 17, 2010 at 2:27pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Earlier this week I had set a goal for myself: knit five hats for needy babies in five days. I finished my last hat this morning..the sixth day. Nuts! I could have completed the last hat on Day five but my family wanted to "really" watch a film on television together. One where I wasn't furiously knitting and asking every five minutes "What happened?", Who is that?" So I put my knitting back in the basket. To be present and aware seems to be something I'm still working on; getting the big… Continue

- Aerie, thank you for your comments and for taking the time to read such a long and rambling blog! I understand what you are trying to say, and I am grateful for your concern. Although I've never felt physically afraid, sometimes I am afraid about our future together. Only time will tell! Congratulations on joining this Challenge and good luck with it! Go into it with an open mind and heart, and it will change you forever:)

- Just read your reasoning for why you are choosing to give. I love that you quote Lennon and have the goal in mind to have a better answer next year.
