Happy Thanksgiving!

[alteredzed]

Hope all my fellow Canadians had a good long weekend.

 

We’re postponing the family celebration until later this month when the middle sibling will be up from L.A.

 

That said, we did get a pumpkin pie in our food box and a few other treats, so Thing Two and I will have a nicer meal today. Salmon not turkey, but that’s okay. So, I wrote this in the am, before it was decided that neither of us was actually up to doing/eating a more involved meal, but hey, we have tomorrow’s diner set!

 

Last post I was listing my projects for the summer, but I’ve since realized I rather shortchanged myself on that. I forgot the 1/2 dozen mock-ups, including the one for a new trouser pattern that I turned into a pair of wearable shorts. Unfortunately there were several hard nos in the batch, but at least now I know.

 

I also forgot a 3^rd pair of socks and the five UFO’s that worked on. I did finish two of those and got the other three much closer to finishing. In fact I’ve since finished one more of them (seriously, it only needed buttons!?!??!) and I’ve add three more to the list of projects I’m poking away at. Yes, yes I do have a lot of UFO’s and WIP’s.

 

 

Question Of The Day:

 

October, 14 - It's Thanksgiving Day in Canada today - reflecting on your childhood, what were you thankful for?

Opportunities! The chance to try different activities & hobbies, to travel, to experience wonders ~ both man-made and natural and to eat a whole lot of really good food. And books. Can’t forget books. From teaching me to read, to weekly trips to the library and many, many purchases my parents indulged my obsession with reading completely.

P.S. Weather continues to be unseasonably warm. High today was 26 C (78.8 F) and still no snow at all! The rest of the week should be a bit cooler, but still warm. And dry. So weird.
