I really haven't done much for the month besides working on WIPs. A few stitches here, a few stitches there and not really much for progress. I have renewed my Secret Needle Night subscription, but I'm not thrilled with the change. There hasn't been any embellishments (like buttons) for months and the price did go up - so I think I will be letting next year's subscription go. It's sad, I know, because I really loved those kits.
I put some more stitches in my turtles. The wild colors are changing to a "normal" palette now. I don't know why, but I'm having a lot of fun stitching this. I can sit down, put a few stitches in and then put it aside and never have to think about where I am or what the back is going to look like. I'm just plain stitching this for fun.
I've been looking at my calendar and cannot believe that Thanksgiving is only 2 days away. I need to go an pick up a turkey from my local farmer. We bought 1/4 of a cow to try and oh is that meat good! I haven't had that tasty of beef since... gosh, I can't remember. The turkeys he has free ranges - and I mean really free ranges. He lets them out in the morning and puts them up at night. They have free range of the farm until they and put in their coop for protection overnight. I can't wait to taste the difference of the turkey! I haven't had a good, fresh bird since I was young. My grandfather was a butcher and farmer so I had the best of meats. The last really good meat I had was a mutton roast Mom gave me back in the early 90's.
