Maybe I can work outside a bit today finishing up the flower and gardening plots.
My family gave me an apple watch which I use to track my exercises. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but every once in a while even though I have spent 30 minutes on the bike it only registers 19 or 21! I know it shouldn't and that it's a little thing but it's very frustrating to me as I don't feel I have done my exercises until the ring closes! Oh well, it's not really something to worry about!
I mentioned that I have two table cloths for Thanksgiving. They are both plain so I decided to make two mostly identical table runners out of the fabric I have in my small stash (mostly fat quarters). I picked out the following fabrics to use...
The fabric on the left side will the outside borders as well as strips between four blocks which will be made out of the remaining four fabrics. And on each block I will applique two large leaves in fall colors. The runners are going to be about 48" by 12", so not too big. I will add a backing but no batting. I have the squares cut to size and the leaves ready to applique. I'll share a picture when their done.
I've been looking for my favorite fall picture and still haven't found it but here's another picture of a tree in all it's fall colors...
So how are your Thanksgiving plans coming along? And do you realize that there are only a few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas? It's probably a good thing to begin thinking about the Christmas Holiday also...especially if you need to purchase gifts. Just like Thanksgiving meal supplies, if you can find gifts on sale you'll save money. And if you make gifts, you should probably begin sooner rather than later.
I'm thinking that I will start with the Christmas Holiday ideas in about ten days especially centering on Advent or CountDown Calendars. When my children were young I always had a calendar with things to do to count the days until Christmas. And to be perfectly honest, I made ones for myself also...with fun ideas along with plans!
I probably won't be posting tomorrow. I have an early eye appointment at the eye clinic about an hour away. And on the way back, I need to make a couple stops. It's Veterans Day, so think about what they did to serve our country and thank any that you know.
Have a great day...
Talk with you on Thursday...
