Happy (belated) Thanksgiving.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  We had stayed in town with Greg's dad and step-mom and got a visit from his sister and her family on their way to Ft Smith, AR.  It was nice to not have to drive up to Wichita, especially since we had Aiden's birthday on Saturday, too.  I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures from Thanksgiving.  I am sooo organized, not.

This is our little "princess" complete with a used belt sander belt tiara.  She was playing princess mommy and I tried to get a picture of her unaware, but it didn't turn out very well.  We don't usually have used belt sander belts lying around, but we did a minor home improvement project since Greg had extra time off.  Here is a picture of the seat in our bay window as it looked when we bought the house...

Not sure if you can tell here, but it is upholstered with a brown upholstery fabric shot with blue and rust threads.  It was ok, but after three kids, it had come un stapled from the back edge and was really hard to vacuum clean.  The bay window is a favorite cat perch and that fabric was just like flypaper to the cat hair.  So I pulled it up and found a really nice woodwork detail that Greg has spent that last few days fixing.  The wood had cupped on a few boards and shrunk, so he removed it all, re fitted them, re stained and poly-ed them.  Here is the result.

Now, I still have to refinish the facing and the drawers, but for now, that will wait.  Its too close to Christmas to start that project, too.  And lest you think I didn't stitch any, here is Great Lakes Lowland.  Not a huge amount of progress, but there is some.

I guess I should wrap this up.  My last load of laundry (for the day) just finished spinning.  They are just sheets, so I may hang them out in the cold air and let them get really fresh in the cold.  Everyone take it easy!
