I love the weekend after thanksgiving.

Dinner at my sisters on Thursday. I was in charge of potatoes, green beans & rolls. She made a lovely turkey. Very Moist! Next year deep fried cajun turkey from Lazy Bones!

Friday: Thrift store shopped. Woke up at 9ish, grabbed a coffee and took off to the new Salvation army. 5 for $5 tan tags. I did pretty good. My sister called and wanted to go to another one. Score! I got clips for Xmas lites 100ct. So far the day come out to be : 3 pairs of jeans, 3 sweaters, jello jiggler holiday cutters, 3 tanks tops, & 2 work shirt for D-man. Later that night, hung xmas lights on the house with my brothers help. YAY!

Saturday:
Went to breakfast at friendly's.
Chores...
Later Turkey Club sammies & movies!
I still have one more day left!

Had a pretty good time at the property, this past weekend. Unseasonable warm is how the boy's described it. Next year, I will have a gun of my own. I felt so silly sitting out in the blind with my 22 rifle. I didn't see a darn thing out there, just some birds. I did hear the coyotes making all kinds of noise before dawn and the goose. That goose was so noisy.

Small Update

It's cold!

I took a class at Glass Academy. Made a Percolla Rod. Will talk about later.

Going up north this weekend with Dick & my brother while they are hunting. My sis is watching the mutts & bunns. My plan is to bundle up in front of the wood burning stove and knit/spin/sleep/cook while the boys get me some venison.

Boneyard shawl. So easy & Free!

I saw Wiley's Boneyard shawl & I went home and started one for myself.

So perfect for handspun!

I've been saving up these little hand spun samples for a while. I spin them on my spindle and stash them away in a bag. They are finally being used! I'm using 8 US needle. The yarn ranges from lace weight 2ply to dk. (soy silk, silk, tencel & angora mixes)

Should have it finished before it gets cold out!

I heard rumors we may be snow showers on Thursday. Ut-oh!
