If you've been my friend for more than ten minutes, you probably know how much I love Laura J Perin Her Very Self. I have enjoyed several of her pieces over the years, and last night....as I was twitching for something other than cross stitch...I found Holiday Ribbons in my Christmas basket.
Oh, what joy! What fun! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for!
I had made a pretty good start on this last year or the year before, so I concentrated on the lower right corner. I think once I get that completed I'll jump onto the excellent chart and proceed according to the instructions.
Thanksgiving provisions have been procured, thanks to a few small orders from the DoorDash. (I haven't had any of my vaccines yet, so I'm steering clear of public spaces for a bit). Our menu will be exactly the same as always...roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, two stuffings, green bean casserole, corn pudding, sweet potatoes, two cranberry sauces, dinner rolls, and two pies.
(I'm just here for the Siggy Specials after dinner...turkey, mayo, celery sticks, and salt and pepper on Pepperidge Farm white bread.)
Cheers, Dearies! I'm off to the shower and then back to stitching!
That looks like a fun festive stitch! Perfect! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️⛄️
ReplyDeleteMy niece and my sister-in-law (different sides of the family) both have Covid, so I am wondering if you do too?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, take some time to stitch, and enjoy your book!
ReplyDeleteBlessed Thanksgiving to you dear Coni!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving Coni. Menu sounds great - and similar to this household.
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to have my old (yes graduated in ‘74) college roommate, husband and daughter from Minneapolis but weather up there last night and predictions for Sunday here are not good. Plans were ditched and we’re all disappointed. We will still “do the things” - see Wicked part 2, look at lights in the rich ‘hood, go to our gardens for the new exhibit of Tom Dambo’s huge wood trolls, zoo lights, and some exhibits at the Durham museum.
Love Laura Perrin stuff. You made a quick start of this beautiful canvas. I can’t wait to see it progress.
Do the celery sticks go on the sandwich? Love your blog! Happy thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYes! Mayo on both slices of bread, a bit of turkey, a row of celery sticks, and salt and pepper! Delish!
DeleteThank you! I am going to try it.
DeleteBeautiful piece you picked up, Coni!
