Productivity


I hit the ground running this morning and actually got some things accomplished.

Grocery shopping, spending an OBSCENE amount of money. I stood there with my mouth open when the checker gave me the total. Holy &%$#.

Started Thanksgiving prep. Squash is prepared, my favorite uncooked cranberry sauce is steeping in the fridge, dessert--pumpkin bars--is made and in the freezer.

A pot of carrot-spinach soup (lunches for this coming week) is simmering on the stove.

AND the muslin of the wedding dress is just about all basted together.

This project is going to make for some real monotone photography, isn't it? Nothing like unbleached muslin to make for a color riot. Not.

So we'll spark things up with a picture of what looks like a disembodied cat head. Boris like to hang out in a basket up on top of my kitchen cabinets, which we refer to as his office. He's a climber and he likes those high perches. This is Boris looking down from The Office.


I'm about to hit the couch with a sleeve to sew on the back of a quilt. I predict I won't get it all done tonight--I'm about wiped out.

P.S. Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Caroline. Here's a shot of Caro and Eric dancing last night. Can't say much about the decor of the place, but they look pretty happy.
