What I've Been Up To..Thanksgiving Table Runner and Sending Off a Son to The Army

Live has certainly been hectic lately! 

Yes siree. 

Where is November going? 

Is it really the 18th? 

Yipes! 

Well, just to record that I am

actually accomplishing

something,

here's my update on my doings so

far this week.  

 First and foremost, my son, Matt, has made a life decision

and has enlisted in the Army. 

he leaves for Boot Camp

Monday morning bright and early. 

He won't be with us for our

traditional Thanksgiving Dinner

on Thursday,

So

We planned a special Thanksgiving Dinner and had it

last night. 

I love, love, love having all my children

around me and

being able to enjoy the people

that they are becoming! 

It ranks right up there with Christmas morning! 

Here is Matt posing with the

cake

His sister and sister-in-law

made for him. 

It was yummy too. 

:)

This family dinner gave me the chance

to show off

my latest seasonal

dewing project. 

A table runner. 

Just simple

dtrips of fabric

dewn together,

machine quilted

snd bound together

in some of my favorite colors

of the season. 

Here's my table

sll dressed up Holiday Style. 

I'll do a tutorial after the Holidays on how I did it. 

Life's too busy right now. 

 I had a wonderful time

putting it together

knowing that it

would lay on

the table that

would bring my

family together. 

All of them. 

Together. 

Spouses, grandchildren

and significant others. 

Together. 

One.  Last.  Time. 

Before he leaves. 

Enjoy. 

Sew Happy,
