I was able to make a little progress on the stockings last night. I used a template that I found online and enlarged it as much as I could but our copy machine is pretty limited in that regard. Once I had it as big as I could get it I cut it out and used a compass to enlarge it equally all the way around and traced it onto the back of a sheet from a large desk calendar.

Then I used that original template and this picture that I’ve been saving as inspiration to freehand the second design. I have to add trim to the top of that one. I have some ideas but nothing is set in stone yet. I think the other one is crying out for fringe or other embellishment of some sort Read the rest of this entry »

We’re leaving in a few hours for Thanksgiving. Have I had two minutes to throw some underpants in a bag with my toothbrush? Nope. Hopefully, we can still get out of here close to on time.

Obviously I have to cut this short since I’m not even packed. Everyone have a lovely holiday!

So where to begin? Such a busy day! You know we always try to hit the ground running on Saturday mornings. We left for the farmer’s market at like 9:30 and it was already a mad house. I guess that’s because Thanksgiving is upon us and everyone was out buying celery and sage. I went for apples… oh, we got apples alright. The sign said, ‘this is our last day at this market and to end the season half bushels are on sale!” Half bushels, mind you I went thinking I would buy a half peck. The lady talked me into the half bushel doing the math on how much it worked out to per pound. Do you have any idea how many apples are in a half bushel? Read the rest of this entry »

I finally finished it. This is seriously like a 2 hour project that took me two weeks or more to complete. I was so happy and excited that I took pictures without cutting threads or pressing but you get the point. So, remember what I was saying about old t-shirts? Now every time I put this one on her I’ll get a little misty because I’ll be thinking about how all too soon Chase will be calling me from school to tell me she’s spending the weekend at a friend’s house in Jersey but instead will be flying as far south as US Air will take her and then riding the dog the rest of the way to Key West. Sigh… and only yesterday the only word she knew was hi! Read the rest of this entry »

It all started last night with a dry rub. Then a long day of low and slow roasting. We started the actual pickin’ around 6:30 and haven’t stopped yet. We decided to skip dessert and to have sandwiches instead. I made coleslaw and I thought it turned out well. I really think that coleslaw is hit or miss so I’m always skeptical. I didn’t even use a recipe for it. I didn’t really have the ingredients for coleslaw so I figured why bother with all the trouble of a recipe. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s a little bit of a random coincidence. I read a case today about mining in Timmins Ontario and wouldn’t you know it but I had a visitor today from, you guessed it, Timmins, Ontario. Now I’ll have more visitors from Timmins because I’ve just written Timmins, Ontario in this post about 6 times. I should stop being so juvenile.

I got the best shot of Chase’s teeth that I could. You can see all the little white ridges. She’s been fine about it well with the exception of waking ten times a night. I’m so exhausted. Sometimes I wake up and I don’t know how Read the rest of this entry »
