There's no hustle and bustle for us this Thanksgiving week. Matt and the kids are out of school. We don't have much planned other than dinner at my in-laws on turkey day. Black Friday? No, thank-you. That sort of craziness isn't my cup of tea...unless it is some sort of on-line deal that doesn't require me to leave my house.
This week I look forward to the quiet of low key evenings with my family. We have a 1500 piece puzzle in progress and movie watching is in order. The other day I picked up some cookie making supplies, so I'm sure there will be some cookie making in my near future as well.
Craft-wise, all I feel like doing is hand sewing and knitting. My second alabama stitch skirt is sooo close to being done. My goal is to wear it on Thanksgiving. It's nice and stretchy, perfect for a feast. My featherweight cardigan is also very close to completion...only a sleeve ribbing to go. The collar on this thing is curling like crazy, so it's going to need some serious blocking. I wanted this done in time for Christmas, so I can almost pat myself on the back for that one...as long as another project doesn't hop on my needles and keep me from finishing (the yarn was in my stash...couldn't resist!).
So yes, I'm feeling quiet. Quietly counting my blessings and quietly working on my projects while I soak up this time with my (not-so-quiet) family. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
