Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving.  It’s not a holiday here so we had a small celebration just the three of us, along with one turkey-hungry cat.  Unfortunately her strict kidney-protecting diet makes it impossible to feed her human food, but it didn’t stop her from trolling the table and waiting patiently beneath the messy eater’s chair, just in case.  I’m looking forward to gathering with friends on Sunday for a proper feast.

As winter sets in, the holidays approach and with some extra time I’ve gained by cutting French class, I’ve been plowing through some projects.  T and I set to work on these felt balls.  It started as a yarn stash elimination process, but of course, we needed new supplies as well.  Not sure what we’ll do with them.  Since we don’t have any holiday decorations here with us, I’m thinking about sewing them into a garland of some sort:

Also finished a cardigan to keep cow warm.  He wasn’t.

And the first of T’s handmade presents:

I got the umbrella fabric in San Francisco this summer, and now that T has expressed an interest in button-down shirts, I was happy to find a use for it.  Check out the pattern, an etsy find:

I suspect she’s too finicky these days for the overalls, but they are nice, hm?

Off to the library.  Just a regular old non-cash-distributing Friday here.
