What I Bought

A not a very good picture of my rug. I still have work to do. I need to work on the deer antlers, change the sky color, and figure out the tree. 

What I bought last Sat at the holiday open house.

This santa is a thick paper and is filled with balsam. Crazy I know but I love him.

This stitching kit. We call our grand sweet B so I thought of her. 

And some rusty mini bells. 

Wool thread and a piece of linen.

Oh save me from myself! I bought a rug pattern. I have enough patterns I will never get through them all. But this kept singing to me each time I passed it. 

Today another beautiful day in the 70s. I went for a nice long walk and did a couple of loads of laundry and then made my first pork pie of the season (Tourtiere in the French Canadian world) The pork pie has as many recipes as there are families. Every family has their own spin on it. This is my husband's mother's recipe, I did not grown up eating pork pie. We were English, I ate mincemeat and really good fruit cake at the holidays. 

Ok on to the last of the rugs at the rug show. 

The loon and the fish rugs are my favorites.

I finished stitching my christmas tree. I need to cut it out and bind it and fill it with balsam.  

I am still working on my sweater and hooking on my rug PHEW!

And I have not touched the applique quilt. There was a conversation yesterday at my hooking class, we were talking about hobbies. We are all grateful for them and talked about the wonderful friends we have made through our hobbies and the fun we have had.

I bought these at Aldi's this week. If you have one near you run don't walk to get a pk of these. I am not huge on store bought cookies but oh these. If you like gingerbread cookies these are the best!Thin and crispy, dip them in your tea perfect!

I hope you are taking care of you.
