Turkey Day is almost here!!!

The real countdown to turkey day has begun. We are hosting the "Stuck in Cleveland" Thanksgiving potluck this year! Sadly our house is still in semi-shambles but it will be looking great for tomorrow. Here's what's done so far...

*Turkey is thawing
*Brine for turkey is made
*2 pumpkin pies are made
*pecan pie crust is ready to go
*all other ingredients should be in the house
*I have all the recipes I need
*roasting pan is clean
*carving board is clean
*tablecloth is washed
*festive napkins are made

There's still a lot to do tomorrow but I can't wait.

I was really hoping to have one of our friends take a family picture of us with the beautiful fall leaves in the background, but sadly most of the leaves are gone. At least I am getting better at Photoshop so I'll be able to touch a photo up a bit. I'm just hope a semi decent picture will come out.

So I was a BIG IDIOT yesterday and accidentally deleted my blog. I was making some changes to it (as I'm sure you can see) and thought I deleted my test blog. Thankfully they got it back. Not that it would have been the end of the world, but I'd still like to have past entries ya know?

I don't have any pictures yet, but I've gotten a bunch of sewing projects done:) I really want to find a rolled hem plate for my serger. My friend might have it somewhere in her house, but if not I hope I can find one. I'm happy with the napkins I made, but it would be so much easier to serge them. The creative part of my brain is going a million miles a minute thinking of ideas for Christmas presents. I know I'll never get them all done, but I'm happy to be sewing again.

That's all for now. I hear Mr. Man starting to make air popped, buttered, garlic powder popcorn YUMMO!!! Have a happy turkey day everyone!!

The brine was a good idea. I ate the apple crisp today. Oh so good. Even cold.
