Show Your Stuff

It is time again for another edition of Show Your Stuff. I purposely went shopping on Black Friday to get a discount on yarn, and I did got some Christmas Shopping done too. I got some Pom-Pom yarn and made up my Pom-Pom Scarf. I am sure it could end up as someone's gift, or I might keep it for myself.

Final Month

It is hard to believe that I am down to the final month and my year long blanket project will be finished. 

Christmas Tags

My son did the drawing for these Christmas tags last year. I have a page of these on Google Docs and you can find it here.

Happy Thanksgiving - Show Your Stuff

It has been a tradition that I started years ago in my adult life to get the house ready for Christmas over the Thanksgiving holiday, probably because it means a four day weekend to do this. Usually my husband is busy cooking a Thanksgiving feast, so in the meantime I get the Christmas decorations out.
However last year my daughter cooked Thanksgiving dinner and this year our son is cooking Thanksgiving dinner. So that is two years in a row hubby did not have to cook. May new traditions will start and our children will cook at Thanksgiving. So I have started getting the house ready,  I brought out past Christmas projects like my granny square blanket, a Catherine wheel runner, my Christmas wreaths, and my Christmas Trees I made last year.I will finish by putting up the tree on Friday.

So this is also a Show Your Stuff Party,  for over a year I have had the party on my other blog, Just Winging It. I have been running the party here also.

So Happy Thanksgiving and...

WIP Wednesday

It is hard to believe that I have a month left on my blanket. I now soon have to think about putting a border around it.

I also have a purse that I thought I would have finished now.

Fingerless Gloves

I finished up a pair of fingerless gloves for my daughter. I hope she will like them and I hope they will fit. I have crocheted many pairs of fingerless gloves, even wrote up a pattern. However this is my first knitted pair.

Welcome back to another edition of Show Your Stuff. This week my husband is trying out a new corn chowder recipe. We have a soup contest coming up at our local church and is going to enter this recipe.

Corn Chowder with bacon and potatoes

1 lb. bacon fried crisp, patted dry and crumbled

2 1/2 cup milk

3 can cream corn

2 cup frozen hash browns

1 cup chopped celery
