I have been squeezing in bits of knitting (between the holiday prep, cleaning, super busy at work stuff, etc) but not much to show. We did have a wonderful Thanksgiving however with my parents, grandparents and aunt and cousin coming down to visit.
A few little things I managed to make. The menu design was part of a free T-day stationary download set. I typed up my menu (as my handwriting is wretched), cut and mounted it and put it in a little extra frame I had. It was fun to do and easy to let everyone know what we were having. It also seemed to amuse everyone. :)
Below that, although kinda hard to see, are simple leaf cutouts from felt to serve as trivets. These were cheap, easy, useful and looked really nice- my kind of craft.
My mom and I (and my retro cherry apron I <3) working in the kitchen. Up since 6am, woo!
Mom, me and Grandma + the Turkey! Couldn't have pulled it all off without them- thank you Mom and Grandma!

Love it! Your mom and g'ma look terrific! Three generations of (well, I shouldn't out your real name). I'm glad it went so well--do you have a pic of the green bean spaetzle? I'm interested!
those menus are fantastic, and so is the apron!
It sounds like a very nice family Thanksgiving. I love the menus.
Loving the family pictures. And your hair is so cute!
