Candle mat Received

I got my candle mat from the swap earlier this week.  I love it.

Isn’t it beautiful?  It came from Monika at http://steppstiche.blogspot.com.  She sent along some cards and a beautiful pattern for a little cellphone bag.  It is in German but I think I can make it from the photos.  Thank you so much Monika – I am very happy with this swap.

I went out grocery shopping early this morning for some last minute things for Thanksgiving.  I made cornbread last night and have the leftovers crumbled up and drying, along with some packaged bread crumbs.  I think we are going to deep fry the turkey so the dressing will be baked in the oven, not in the Turkey.  I got mushrooms, celery and onions to add to the dressing – also sausage and apple.

Later this afternoon I am going to make the pumpkin roll.  We decided to have it instead of pumpkin pie. I think pumpkin roll is Bill’s favorite dessert.

Still working on quilting customer quilts so I am off to the quilting studio (basement) for a few hours.
