Daily Notes- November 21

The snow continues to fall.  Overnight we got another inch or two.  G and Riley are back from their walk and G is now starting up the snow blower and clearing the driveway.

Me?  I took a shower, ate breakfast (toast and coffee), read the newspaper, read emails and answered a few, watched a video of two women making pie crust, made Riley's lunch, and after I walk away from the computer--I'll be making Cranberry Orange Bread-from a vegan website but I will be using vegetable oil and regular flour.  I purchased a bag of cranberries and one orange (zest) for the recipe yesterday on our 4pm (in the dark) shopping trip.  I may add nuts. I'm not sure which nut--pecans or walnuts.  And I may make pumpkin pie today rather than tomorrow.  But I don't know if I will or won't.  I do have a package of commercial pie crust dough in the fridge. And any extra cranberries can be made into cranberry sauce with a topper of French Brandy.

I will be sewing the little Advent pockets to the felt square today but need to decide what color thread to use and I cannot find my bag of this weight of embroidery thread in the Magic Attic so my choices are few and not what I want to use.  I had the project on the ottoman where I watch television and caught myself looking at it many times last evening.  It looks nice.  I didn't really have a "vision" of the end product as I cut and sewed.  So, the fact that it looks okay is a pleasant surprise.  Serendipity.

Sewing and Baking.  That's my Wednesday.  Warm and Cozy.  Wishing all of you the same!!!
