I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far!  I haven’t been a very good blogger lately and posting has been sporadic the last month or two, even for me.  In a nutshell life has been unusually hectic except for this week which has been gloriously slow-paced; I no longer feel like I’m constantly on the verge of having an anxiety attack.  I’ve also been considering re-thinking my blog, its purpose, etc., and haven’t had a lot to say or was feeling too lazy to write, snap photos and the like.   (I’m still in this mode actually.  These photos were taken with my phone and I didn’t even bother to open Photoshop to edit them, ha.)

Anyway, I hosted Thanksgiving for my parents which was nice especially now that we’ve got a real grown-up table, perfectly rustic and charming.  Out came Grandma and Granpa’s wedding china, their Wedgewood candlesticks (that you can see are still there because they look so festive), and a big leafy bowl to show off persimmons from Mom’s garden (she said she left the stems on because she knows I like that sort of thing).

Now it’s onto Christmas.  I HAD to share this darling old-time kitty that came in a set I bought on Etsy.  Isn’t it sweet?  I favorited another item from this shop months ago but at the time I thought it was actually vintage, I had no idea there was such a wonderful variety of these newly crafted ornaments until I spotted them on the Design is Mine blog.

Do you have any plans for this weekend?  For one thing I am NOT working!  I have to say I’m looking forward to catching up on some sewing.

Yea, that’s right,  I’m looking at you.  My mom is running around (per usual) getting ready for somethin’…oh yes, Thanksgiving.  Something you humans do here in the U.S.  Not sure what it’s all about though people are generally happy and lazying around – my kind of holiday!  The best part: a huge roast bird.  BIRD. Leftover….bird!   Sheesh, makes me sleepy just thinking about it.

I mean, really, really sleepy.

Dim the lights, will ya?

Wake me up when the turkey’s ready.

I’ve been ill for a few days, maybe just the flu or something like that; it seems like the worst is over (and by worst I mean pretty terrible as I hadn’t been that sick in a while).  Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details!  I wasn’t even going to post, I’m still tired and a little dizzy, but I thought this would be a good opportunity for some gratuitous cute kitty shots of Spoo and we haven’t had any of those in a long while (not since some time on the olde blog).

Had some Matzo ball soup today, watched too many reruns of Project Runway (I just discovered this show; I’ve know about it, of course, but in my weakened state I broke down and thought a little reality TV can’t be all bad), and snapped a couple of pics of my favorite kitty in the whole world!

Oh, and thank you for all the wedding love; I’m so glad you like the photos.  I really did feel a bit like a princess for a little while!

Have a lovely weekend, friends!
