Thanksgiving weekend...

Made over 100 rolls. Played soccer with Chad's family. Had a feast. Loved having my sister, Melanie, join us. Sang around a camp fire. Played games. Shopped all morning on Black Friday. Took a nap, very unusual. Had a girls night. Went to see Twilight, again. Had Pinkberry, YUM! Chad sanded, I primed and am going to paint the kids little table and chairs. Rented Fred Clause. So funny. Made cookies and ate a lot of them. Celebrated Christmas early.

We draw names for Christmas with Chad's siblings. I got his beautiful sister, Kelli, this year. I found the most adorable apron pattern online and had to get it. When I saw this material, I immediately thought of her. She will be spending Christmas with her husband's family so we celebrated over Thanksgiving weekend and I got to give her my gift early.
I didn't know I was going to have to make the material into bias tape for the halter with the white fabric. Wouldn't have mattered too much, except the white material is corduroy! Plus, I didn't realize I was going to need to blind stitch it on. Oh well. It was still tons of fun to make. Isn't it so stinkin' cute?

Check out the cute rubber gloves. Found those on another crafty blog.
They're called "Not Your Momma's Rubber Gloves."
You sew oil cloth on white gloves and embellish with ribbon.

It's reversible! Kelli loves yellow and daisies...

You can tie the waist band in the front or back.
I'm in love with it and can't wait to make my own.

Here are a few of my Thanksgiving Projects:
"Giving & Thanks Tree"
I drew the tree on the wall with washable marker. At dinner we got to pick two leaves. One leaf was to write what you were "Thankful" for. The other was to write down something you "Gave" someone (an act of service).

and I made a bunch of these banners for some family & friends:But, since I don't have a fireplace where it is meant to hang, it goes on my wall.
