Princess Bubbles Creates

  I have started another butterfly.  I think I will be doing a series of butterflies!  They are so fun!  I still have some pins in this one as I am trying to finish off the first one I have started.  Starting new things is always fun, but finishing is also good!

 I had been thinking that this little fish was finished.  Now, I am thinking it needs a bit of beading.  I know there are some flashy bits on her, but she needs just a tiny bit more! We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, so today will be a bit quieter in comparison.  Our home was filled with good people and good food yesterday and I am grateful for that.  I am also grateful for quiet Sundays for stitching! I am linking to the lovely Kathy at https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/ We had the pleasure of meeting in person this past week!  So cool!

                         LeeAnna  has asked as the weather starts to cool, do you have cozy clothes to start wearing? show pics! Cozy clothes are one of my favourite things about cooler weather.  This is one of my favourite sweaters. Mostly I just wear pull over hoodies around the house.  They are comfortable and cozy and easy.  I also love fluffy socks, or wool socks.  Having warm feet always feels good! I like that it is Thanksgiving here in Canada this weekend.  I love having a big turkey dinner.  I wish we had them more often!  I love the leftovers too.

 My upcycling project is finished.  I had a seamstress add the lining to the back so that things could be straight.  I don't sew straight!  This project will be seen at the Wearable Art Show in Oakville in a couple of weeks.  I love the way it turned out.  I won't wear it until after the show but I can imagine feeling ever so cosy in it!

 Another one of my stitched mandalas.  Using watercolour paper works great.  It is stiff enough that it doesn't buckle from the thread.  The metallic thread I used isn't showing up well in this photo.

 Fishy number one is done.  Well, I still need to trim some of the threads that are sticking out.  This has been so much fun. I am hoping that I can use my fishies to illustrate a book for one of my grandchildren.  Wouldn't that be cheerful?  I love an underwater theme so one of the grandkids is going to get a book with that theme.

  LeeAnna  has asked do you have a good gingerbread type recipe to share? or what is your favorite gingerbread-style food to eat? I like to eat gingerbread but I am not terribly fond of baking so I don't have any recipes.  Mind you baking today would be a good idea.  Having the oven on would warm up the house.  I haven't yet turned on our furnace and I am happy to be saving on our heating bill! I like having tea with a friend.  I am doing that today with a friend I haven't seen for a while.  She now has twin granddaughters and I am excited to hear all about them.   I like when my niece comes for a visit.  We had an art day together on the weekend.  We also went thrift store shopping and found some treasures.  I am so blessed that I get to have so much fun with my niece!
