Quickly unloaded the kiln yesterday before Thanksgiving. I know what you're thinking, Thanksgiving is next Thursday. You're right, except I moved it to suit my needs.We kept it small this year, just family. It's amazing how easy cooking for 9 is when you're used to 25. Made all the old favorites, but tried a new pie (salted caramel chocolate pecan), new dinner rolls, and new gravy. Turned out really well.

I also feel like I'm getting really good at puff pastry. I used it for the baked Brie and for the McDonald's like apple pie.

I do wish I thought to take a picture of the table because I used all of my pottery as serving dishes. I used several of my test tiles as little butter servers.

Real picture coming soon, but I took some quick ones. Made everyone thanksgiving jewelry.

This yarn didn't know what it wanted to be. It started out as a poncho but ended up as a shawl. I'm really happy with it.









Had some leftover yarn so I made a puppy hat. Who wears it better?

River loves her new sweater. I also tried it on Willow but she just tried to eat it. She needed a backup sweater because the last time we went to Chaumont, River rolled in deer poop like 2 hours in. 

So I got some Laguna 66 to make some bakeware. This particular lasgna pan is my first attempt and it's huge. I'm not sure if it will work as an actual baking dish because of its size, but I\"m loving how its turning out.

I've been looking for the right project for this yarn for a while. It's super warm and could have ended up not being functional. I was looking at poncho patterns online and decided that was what this yarn was meant to be.

The pattern is one I made up a bit as I went along. I made it about 24 inches wide. The body is a row of single then half double then double crochet. I repeated those 3 rows until I got to the right length. I finished the sleeves with another of that pattern then 3 rows of camel stitch and finished with a row of single crochet. The bottom was a row of single crochet, 3 rows of camel and then a row of single. The collar I made a bit taller with a row of single, 9 rows of camel, and finished with a row of single.
