SO much STUFF!!!

Continuing on with the last of October's Abby Cartoons and one from November:

I got in another estate for the guild. Here is a before and after of my dining room and office:

 

The morning glories kept blooming, well into November:

Our last camping trip of the season:

I had been knitting this scarf for most of this year:

Then I dropped a stitch:

Since I do not know how to pick up knitted stitches, I undid the whole thing 

and crocheted it instead. 

I finished it a few days before Christmas and it's on its way north, as a gift.

Progress continues on the two year sock pattern:

I finished this scarf for charity giving:

My studio now has two chairs instead of the loveseat:

We have fires at home and I'm trying salmon cooked over a fire. It was pretty dang good!!!

I emptied my pantry and reorganized it. 

My counters were full of spices and odds and ends. 

A lot of old OLD stuff was tossed.

I made pumpkin pie from homemade pumpkin puree'. 

I made a deep dish apple pie from Arkansas Black Apples. 

They are almost as good as Macintosh apples for pie making.

 

A neighbor shared this with us. It was SO DANG GOOD!!! 

It's called Babka and is a traditional Jewish sweet bread.

I hired housecleaners for the first time in my life. They left my toilet paper rolls in style:

Ready for Thanksgiving dinner:

My son folded the napkins into little trees:

I had a lovely bouquet for the centerpiece of the table. It had gnomes in it too! hahaha

Our son's birthday followed Thanksgiving:

Here are the boxes for the auction for our quilt guild. After going through the two estates and one donation, I had two bins of fabric and two large bags of batting for our community service gals. I had FIFTY boxes of mostly fabric for donating to various charities, our free table, and auction. I also had 65 lots for our auction. This is a huge fundraising event we have, once per year at our quilt guild.

The city leaf sucking truck came by:

HEY! Look at that!!! I can see my studio table again!!!

And my Pfaff is put away for the holiday. Our tree goes on top of it.

And finally, our tree is up:

Happy Holidays to one and all!

Happy crafting too!
