Heaven and Earth

 Thank you Thank you...

I received this book in the mail today.

It's been named book of the year by numerous book sellers.

And that cute little gnome on top of my book?

Dakota Man made them for all our female guests

 to put on my Thanksgiving table.

Thank you Thank you!

legal

With Thanksgiving over I consider it legal to do all things Christmas.

Consider this your Christmas license.

Take One:

I like to make a test pie the week before Thanksgiving...

not because I need to practice but because I'm craving pumpkin pie.

Some things are just better enjoyed alone.

And then in a bold move I painted a piece of my pie before I ate it.

 We are having beautiful fall days here yet, the leaves are still falling.

Dakota Man enjoys his days out in his woodshed with a small fire going in his woodburner.

I've been hiding out in my little sewing sweatshop with Christmas music going.

We are both looking forward to having the whole family here for Thanksgiving.

secrets

The doors to Santa's workshop are locked.

There are big secrets going on around here.

 You will need a special key or Santa's special code to get in,

 but that's unlikely to happen as Mrs. Claus is the keeper of the keys.

I may be alittle biased but I think Dakota Man's handmade wood items are just beautiful.

I always look forward to what he is making next...

Worm holes, knots, cracks and all the imperfections of wood.

in need

 It's been crazy at our house the last two weeks...go go go.

I like to think it keeps us young.

 I did manage to finish up this baby quilt. 

Not too long ago our youngest granddaughter asked me if 

I thought I had enough quilts 

so I will give it to her to donate to a family in need.

November

The months sure do roll by quickly.
