We had the second Thanksgiving (i.e. Thanging Feast) with the Big Kid and his family today.
I have now had tofurkey.
I was also able to stitch for a bit today while we watched The Flash for his parents.
If you want to stitch when there is a small boy around, bring a brand-new box of Legos and a grampa and you will be left in peace while they carry on intense and serious conversations about the various bits and pieces required to construct whatever it is they decide to construct. There was also a major conversation about who got the red Lego car, since apparently it was the more desirable vehicle.
Even though the class doesn't start until January 1, I've been looking at Mariposa and looking at Mariposa and trying to wait to start it. I admit that I brought it with me and I'm glad I did. Since the Big Kid and his wife go in for mood lighting rather than the brilliant lighting Dearly Beloved and I prefer, I found that I could see 18 mesh canvas by a 60 watt bulb.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Here is what I accomplished today, between mediating multi-generational Lego disputes and helping with the Thanging Feast.
It is NOT this dark but I'm photographing by the light in the hotel room. This is a lot of fun to stitch and I hear that there are some kits left, so if you're interested, hie thee hence to Shining Needle and look at the colors that are still available.
I would stitch more tonight, but I think I'm ready to take a nap. Or just go to bed. It's been a long day.
