Waxing poetic

Now that Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and I've delivered all of my holiday crafty things to the old hotel, it's time to think about what's for dinner.  Here's my plan, along with a few of the above-mentioned crafty things.
Brussel sprouts
and pumpkin pie,
and a turkey breast,
not the whole big guy.
Mashed potatoes, of course!
And cranberry sauce.
Plenty of stuffing.....
and dental floss.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Whiteout conditions

I've been working on my winter crop of felted goodies.  This one's ready for market, although I did add a white snowflake to his hat as an afterthought.  It just needed a little something.  I'm happy with the scarf.  Each of those little patches of color was felted on one at a time.

Tomorrow I'm going to the New England Fiber Festival in Springfield, Mass.  It's time to restock. It should be a day with sunshine, a little nip in the air, some lingering fall colors, and plenty of aroma o' sheep. My kind of day.

I finally came to my senses and decided not to jump into more craft fairs this year.  I like my current pace...which allows for some socializing, some grocery shopping, and keeping Mr. Gadget in clean undies.  It's always a nice ego boost when people praise my work, but I have to remember to keep things in perspective.  Plus, I'd hate to miss a cruise op.
