Happy Thanksgiving!

 Just wanted to write a quick post to wish everyone...

And I apologize, but that's all I have to say about that--
so warning-- stop reading if that's good enough for you!

 
My cold has not let up-- I now think I'm going into bronchitis-- the cough is really scary. I have considered going to the walk-in clinic just to get checked out a bit, but I guess on a positive note, I have not had to do it yet. As my father-in-law frequently said in his wisdom, "When it gets bad enough, you'll go."

Miraculously, no one else has gotten it--
and I'm well enough to get Thanksgiving basics cooked-- turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole-- but no one really wants me handling their food, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. 

Very little, but some, sewing has occurred this week-- here's my Pressed Flowers Block 7, looking as rumpled as me.

And I did get my extra charm pack, backing, and binding for the Lighthearted Christmas tree. Hoping I feel well enough to finish it-- it's ironic that sewing boosts my spirits, but my spirit isn't in it! 

I absolutely FORCED myself to get all 16 Summer Memories units pieced, but I'm too weak to drag them all out for a photo-- it's going to be king-sized.

On a more positive note, I did knock the December Bowl Fillers out of the park and completed the set of twelve! LOL. The time in my life when my DD took figure skating lessons was a really sweet one. 

If you would rather buy a set of twelve instead of only seeing one at a time, the set is now available. Click the photo to see them all-- it is glorious.

It's been a really tough year on a personal level-- there's a few empty seats at our table this year for various reason I can't talk about--LOL-- and I know so many of you are struggling as well. If you need to know someone's in the trenches with you-- imagine me holding your hand.

I guess the point of Thanksgiving is--

let's be grateful for what we do have--
let's just count the seats that are full-- it is still a lot. 

Snow is falling in the meadow as I write,

and I think I'll watch a little Hallmark Channel...
