I've been working hard crafting for the past week making felt pins and quilted coasters all in an effort to have a few items to post for sale on Etsy.com. I wish I could see better for close work. My glasses just don't seem to cut it. I bought one of those magnifiers that you put around your neck and rest on your chest, but I just couldn't maneuver around it to sew the tiny stitches necessary. I'm going to try some of the cheap drugstore glasses as a visit to the optometrist is not in the budget right now.
My parents just had a pellet stove installed today in the hopes of saving money on heating oil in the future. It is really pretty and feels so nice and cozy. We are going to see how it goes for them in terms of saving and then perhaps consider installing one next year.
Purchased most of what I need to cook for Thanksgiving today. On the menu: turkey (of course), French Canadian meat stuffing, cornbread stuffing, turnip, mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and apple pie. Phew, I feel tired just thinking about it. I cook for hours and the meal is over in 20 minutes. Then we sit and talk for a while and move to the cleanup. Fun. I suppose the cleanup time gives our tummies time to digest and make room for pie and coffee. And don't forget the men drifting off to the couches!
Have a great night and God bless.
