I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving day. It was quiet and relaxing and of course a hard day for me but I did get through the day.
I made my dinner and sat to eat around 3:15. It was a small turkey breast, sweet potato, stuffing and gravy as well as cranberry sauce with an antipasto. A glass of sparkling wine to wash it all down. Dessert was homemade biscotti, Pizzelles, and Glenda's chocolate chip cookies. The weather was a warm 87 and the sun was shining.
I finished the Swaddled doll #2
I am hoping the recipient likes her. She is ready for a box and mailing. I picked out some of the print flowers to embroider and did not want to over do it.
I added the blooms to her hat for some color. The simple embroidery looks good. I like the raised leaves which add texture. as do the French knot centers. Looking forward to making a few more.
I do not do the Black Friday shopping thing, never have. I will venture out on Saturday to just one store to get a few items for my Christmas gifts that need to be mailed. My goal is to get everything in the mail beginning of December. Key word is goal. I need to get into my Christmas decorations to find the tiny glass ornaments to do some tatting around. A gal shared her pattern and I would like to make a few. First I need to get the Bissell and Swiffer out today before I can play. I really should tackle some yard work but it can wait.
An update on our friend Lynda Ruth. She did finally have the shoulder surgery and spent 4 days in hospital but is now home recuperating. That is about it form here. It was good to visit with you and I thank you for the kind words and emails and your friendship.

Gracie, those swaddled dolls are just the cutest! I have decided that you are very good at everything you make! I roasted a small turkey breast for sandwiches and enchiladas. Today is our Thanksgiving at my daughters boyfriends parents house. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to cook a lot! My daughter and I did Black Friday a couple years ago, my first and only time! Never again. Have a wonderful day!
