A Monday

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! We certainly did with lots of good friends, delicious food, and a great family visit with my mom and dad. As you can see from my Thanksgiving pictures, we had a lot of food at the dinner. Notably highlights (well actually, everything was a highlight) were Corinne's cranberry sauce, Bethany's pear and mushroom salad, Lisa's chocolate orange torte, and my mashed yams with caramelized onions.

So the rest of the weekend was spent mostly not eating, since we were so full from Thursday. Today was a slow return to normal with:

1. Sleeping in - both Hazel and I needed a recovery from the weekend
2. Breakfast for me and the babe (muffin and milk respectively)
3. Tidying of the house
4. A visit from Tiffany and Sydney
5. Thinking about a quilt I want to start
6. Thinking about some craft projects for gifts
7. Not actually starting either one of those projects
8. Opening new bank accounts at a local bank (we are now leaving the busy hectic world of WaMu banking)
9. Going to see Sarah and our new Dutch Girl fabric

Tomorrow will be spent sewing I think and preparing some goodies for the winter ladies church fellowship. I'm thinking crab puffs, if the local grocery store carries crab (or krab as the case may be). If not, I may just go the easy route and bring some cheeses and bread.

Here are some pictures of our new fabrics, by Anna Maria Horner. Love them! I think I see new living room decorations in them.


And just in case you thought I forgot about her, here are some new pictures of the baby eating her toes.
