Time out from Christmas Sewing: A New Bag!

I started with this thrift store find.

Lovely, isn't it? You can't tell by the flash photo, but it is a nice wool and the red is truly red, not pink. And the blue is a teal. Anyway. . .

I used the Buttercup Bag pattern and ended up with a cute bag. I didn't have a magnetic closer, so I rigged up a ponytail elastic and a button. I actually like it because you can fit more inside closing it that way.

It's a little smaller than the size purse I usually carry, but it's a new purse and that's all good as far as I'm concerned. Nice and wintery made out of that wool, too.

Sew & Tell Friday: The Food Edition

This week's Sew & Tell Friday (<---click here for lots of yummy recipes) is all about food, because, well, there's been a lot of cooking and baking going on these past few days.

There will also be lots of sewing going on in this house starting today and through the weekend. I'm really looking forward to cranking out some projects here.

I ate my share and more yesterday and had a great time with family. I received an e-mail and a phone call asking me for the following recipe, so it goes without saying that it is a long time family favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

We just call it. . .

Corn

or That Corn. As in "Sis, do you have the recipe for that corn" or "Mom, what do you put in that corn."

Go here for the recipe. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is what we woke up to this morning. Our first measurable snowfall! It created a beautiful coating on the ground but won't interfere with holiday travel.

The snow certainly puts one in the Christmas spirit.

We had Oven Apple Pancake for breakfast.

It was the perfect choice for something light to eat on Thanksgiving morning in anticipation of a big feast at noon. Speaking of which, time to get ready!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Enjoy your day!
