Thanksgiving wishes

 I just get such a high from these sunsets and sunrises and they are never as spectacular here as from my home.  The colors are always so brilliant!!

The back splashes are all done!  We went to Cheyenne on a flying trip to get more as we loved the tiles so much that we decided to put them on the computer desk area also.  We also needed a large area rug in the living area.  The floors are solid oak and although they are not cold, we wanted a more cozy area. Two more projects are on our short bucket list...a chandelier for the dining area, which was ordered yesterday and blinds for one more room.  Then done!!!!

Now, one of my very good friends decided to try a Martha Stewart project.  This is a large candle holder...well, a container for a large candle.  The frosted area here still has some glitter to be brushed away, but with some special glue and some fine glitter, and a computer generated pattern we have pine trees, deer and stars.  I still need a candle, but what a fun and a pretty craft to make a personalized gift for someone!  I may suggest that this might be a project for our summer retreat.

 As always, my furkids warm my heart and here these two have cuddled up on the sofa..which is why I have LEATHER upholstery on nearly everything.  The two little guys really don't shed but poor Hildy's leavings would have made several coats, had I spun or felted hers.  At age 11, she is really starting to show her age.  An old injury as a pup keeps her limping now even with meds, she falls on occasion and wants to act like a puppy again but just can't. Little Spencer here is attached to her at her hip so it saddens me to think what he might do when her time comes. 

But for now, we enjoy all of the love they give us and the laughter we share at their antics.

We wish all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!!
