Gotta have a smoke after Turkey Dinner? The furkids were given some rather large rawhide chew bones Thanksgiving afternoon to calm them down. Hildy especially wanted to play with this very noisy new toy and it was becoming difficult to converse with the continual squeaking. This morning, little Spencer, sporting a new haircut by the way, jumped up on the bed with the center of one of these bones in his mouth looking much like a cigar.
Now to the craft projects. A good quilting buddy needed a coat rack built. She wanted a board with 3 glass doorknobs on it. She told me she would give me 5 knobs if the Mr. would build hers..and he did! She also took us to lunch for payment. They came from a home she lived in years ago and the old doors had been taken down, but she rescued the knobs. I had a gun rack which was left in the house here, took it apart and used this maple board to put my five on...just for accent on the wall. I scored this glass light globe for $5.00 last week, hung ribbon through the holes and filled it with glass globs and a silk plant.
Below, a rolling pin from my collection hangs on the wall beside my fridge. The Mr. cut a slice from the rolling pin to make it flat, put these knobs on and it will have perhaps an apron hung on one or more of the knobs. Love it!
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for! Thanksgiving at home was always a happy one and we were surrounded with cousins and aunts and uncles. Mom always had the Thanksgiving meal with everyone else bringing side dishes. With everyone there, we would draw names for the Christmas celebration which was held at my Aunt Dora's. I am thankful for all of the fond memories and although our holiday was a quiet one this year with our neighbor to share our feast, it will be one to add to the reservoir of memories in my head and heart to cherish!
Happy Birthday Joan!
