I spent some time getting to know my sewing tools in preparation for this Christmas. Some was done by hand, some was with the sewing machine I bought a few months ago and have been waiting to use. Here are a few highlights:
A little cat owner indulgence.
It's been a long time coming that these two get along so well. Marilyn typically likes to maintain her personal space a little more.
These were all taken on different days.
(That is my lap they are both sharing, and I didn't invite either one to climb up there)
(Ok. So, every so often, they still play a little rough - this one to the tune of "Kung Fu Fighting")
A couple other shots I've been holding on to from the chaos that was my late Oct./early Nov.
Best pumpkin I saw this year. It was at Homemade by Suzanne's in Ashland, VA. We had a campaign rally stop there in the final week before the election. Sarah Palin had an event there last year too (I think it's mentioned in her book). Anywho... I thought it was very clever.
Where else do you get Patrick Henry with a megaphone along your marathon route? Gotta love Richmond. :-)
For Poor Man's Toffee!
I'm making this tonight as part of the Thank You gift for the ICU staff that's been w/ Dad for the last week and a half.
Didn't want you to forget it as you navigate this season of Christmas parties :-)
