A day of preparation

I got a lot done yesterday, but nothing really to show.  It was a day of preparing ... for many things.

First, I found fringe for my pillows AND another coordinating fabric for a 3rd pillow.

I love the way all the colors of this fringe blend with the colors of the fabric.

And, things have gotten busy again for me, so I'm having to stretch out this pillow sewing.  I really want to get them done over the weekend ... company coming!

But, Simplicity's got me going on next year's Halloween a little earlier than usual.  So, I'm doing a lot of sketching and shopping I can't talk about right now. I will show you the contents of one box that came yesterday to get your imagination going.

And, I starting planning for another thing ...

This 1995 Safeway magazine of recipes has my favorite stuffing recipe. So I keep all the other recipes I like in it.

It will be fun feeding everyone this year.  Both my boys will be home and I get to feed a marathon runner (my very impressive daughter-in-law)! I can cook LOTS of food.

I was so wiped out last night though, I didn't want to cook.  So, I heated up this package of stuff (it wasn't very good ... sigh).  But, it had a word I never saw before which made me smile.

If things go well this weekend, I should have my finished pillows to show you on Monday.
