Thanksgiving and Anniversary and Quiltville Mystery, Oh MY!

I made it!!

Got my Haircut, finally...

Hubby changed the Living Room around.

I cleaned the floors with the WOOD solution in my Wet Jet Swiffer.

I love the natural WOOD.
So glad we pulled up that Carpet, many years ago.

Had a nice Thanksgiving with the Goodson family.

A groupie with all of us.

My Selfie stick wouldn't work.

Janessa said we matched...lol

Happy that we have them so close in Walla Walla!

YEP, We Made a Thanksgiving Buffet.

(Vintage/Antique Tablecloth that was my Moms)

Turkey Gravy boat from my Christmas Around the World days.

Please pass the Yummy Potatoes, Stuffing and Gravy again!!!

We had Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie.

I should have only eaten the Pumpkin...but the Chocolate was so good.

Whipped Cream and Chocolate shavings on top!

Found this while searching for a few other things.

No label, Bad Binding and Wavy edges.

The Turkey is a little crooked too.

Black Friday brings the First Clue in the Winter Quiltville Mystery

Bonnie included my favorite color this year and I'm Sew Happy!

The Aqua goes good with the Purple.

Who would have thought??

Bonnie has me worried with the ORANGE though.

I may change it, depending on what we do with that color in the next few weeks.

Thinking of a gray, since we've added it to a few of the mysteries I have a stash of it.

4-Patches ready for pressing and twisting the seams.

I sewed in my Fuzzy Jammies all Day!

Hubby went to Tri-Cities without me. I woke up and the car was gone.

Our Anniversary is just another day.

Memories of the actual day come to my mind.

We came out of the Temple into a Blizzard, so a Quiet Day at Home sewing was just right.

Roadtripping to Wyoming

Elizabeth and Olivia joined us for a 

Quick trip to Wyoming 

We left early on Friday morning

 

We stopped at Chick-fil-a and Kneaders on the way.

Yummy food and fun to take a groupie by the Christmas Tree at Kneaders.

Saturday was Oliver's Baptism. 

The 4 older Cousins went to the Star Valley Temple 

Saturday morning. 

They met us at Thayne Stake Center for the Baptism

We love getting Before and after pictures.

And of course a picture with the Cousins. 

Olivia, Oliver and Elizabeth

We enjoyed our short time, it was cold!

        I made some Caramel Popcorn for a treat      

We decided to go home on Sunday, driving in as much daylight as possible.

Just a few side stops at Temples & a fun Rest Stop

 to stretch our legs

Pocatello Temple above, 

Twin Falls Temple  below

Just a driveby at the Boise Temple. 

It was a nice trip and we are resting.

Staying Home for awhile.

One week and 2 Days until Thanksgiving.

WOW- Wednesday

I finally got the DH to get me a bigger Embroidery Machine.

 After a visit to my favorite Bernina dealer, we made a deal.

I'm sew Spoiled and I LIKE it!

This gently used and new Embroidery Module came home yesterday.

It only does Embroidery.

Push Button to Start, NO FOOT PEDAL.

I love the auto cutter and the Bobbin alert. 

It has a BIG Bobbin.

I'm taking a few Classes to learn about all the Bells and Whitsles is has.

Great for those smaller projects that I love to make from Kimberbell.

Yes, I am a bit addicted to Embroidery right now.

Using up some fun Novelty Prints and Fat Quarters.

No sneaky Peeks yet! Just wait and see...

I had to do some Shuffling and re-arranging of totes downstairs to get to this table.

Sturdy enough and big enough to hold the Machine.

Extra supplies in the rolling cart and drawers I already had.

It is temporarily here in the Hallmark Watching place.

AKA: Grandma's Christmas Sweat Shop.

I can lock people out so they don't get a sneak peek.by tea

DH likes to tease and put the lock on, I don't mind getting locked in there.

When my Thanksgiving Cactus blooms it gets me in the MOOD for the Holidays.

This was Monday.

The blooms today are even bigger.

Whatcha Working on this WOW- Wednesday?

New Month- Novem-burr

 The weatherman/lady was Correct again!

November came in with lots and lots of Rain.

I love the month of November

So, so much to be Grateful for.

The nice patron running out asked if she could take my Picture. No thanks, I had to document the missing Elephant Ear plant. 

DH likes to do more than one Session when he goes.

I left to run errands and get a sweater at Fountain Books,  I left my coat at home, oops. 

Quiltville Mystery colors

"Chilhowie Mystery"

I looked for the Paint cards at 2 different Lowe's and at my Sherwin Williams. 

They look good next to the fabric from the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival Block Challenge. 

I uncovered my Stash tote of Purples. 

I'm well-supplied there!

Side view

I'll either switch the Purple for the Orange, 

or use a peachier color. 

 I just can’t make a Halloween colored quilt.

I think I'm good with Aquas too.

There's been aqua in several Mysteries. 

Somebody got 'Butched' at Great Clips.

I told him not to cut-off all of his curls.

Good thing it grows back.

Hope he doesn't catch pneumonia on his walks.

We had over 50 Trick or Treaters. 

Must be a record number.

What are you Grateful for today?
