Good day, dear readers. So hard to believe that it is almost Thanksgiving and the end of yet another month. I hate that Thanksgiving is so late, but I will just need to make the best of it.
I have not cooked Thanksgiving dinner in MANY years, probably close to 25. My brother's DSO always does and a feast it is. Sadly, this year she is "home" because her mother is ill. My brother is on his way to be with her. My heart breaks for her because I know how hard it is. Please keep her in your prayers.
So I have been busy planning the menu, researching recipes, grocery shopping, cleaning for a houseful of overnight company, etc. The really good news is that my Las Vegas son will be home for a few days. That was unanticipated. Usually airfare at Thanksgiving is outrageous, but a few weeks ago he stumbled upon a great deal. My family is very small, so I cherish spending time with family members. My brother and DSO will be missed.
Not much hooking has been going on, but did get the outside row hooked so I can start on the hit and miss background. Ignore the oval line on the pattern. I guess that was in case you wanted an oval rug.
I also changed one of the flowers. I just wasn't happy with it.
Before . . .
After . . .
I've also been working on a little cross stitch piece, but not much is done.
I just have to share what I bought. I really don't have a good place for it but hopefully can squeeze it in the upstairs bath. An antique bidet. Not something I would normally buy, but for for $20 could not resist. I am a sucker for a bargain :)
Porcelain bowl. I'm amazed it survived for so many years.
Maker's mark. I did a little research and this mark is from 1874-1909.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
