Thanksgiving weekend

This has been a busy weekend! Especially since the weekend started Wednesday night. I came home from school to prepare my dish for sharing at our Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have choir practice. I had laundry to do as well. Thursday we left town for my sister's for dinner. It was a very enjoyable time. Good food, good company and good fun. The fun included playing Farkle. Do you take risks or not? Dan is good at this game and Chelsey takes risks! Friday I braved Walmart at about 9:30 because I had already accomplished the sewing tasks on my list - the dog coat, mending Greg's jeans, fixing a hat and sewing on Boy Scout badges (I have been doing this for one scout through all his badges and he made Eagle Scout this year). I had to wait a while in fabric, but got some flannel for all the babies who will need quilt gifts this year - I think I counted 8! Our school is having a population spurt. I got fabric for the shutter inserts in the kitchen - an apple print. Thought it might me too much, but I really like it.
I also got paint for the living room. Friday night and Saturday I painted. Now everything is put where it belongs. It is a different look for sure. Dan helped me hang shelves. I am ready for the tree, but will wait a week. Not sure where to put it.
Today after church I want to spend in the studio. I have several things in mind, and want to get the embroidery machines humming on those quilts. We should be able to wear our new choir robes today for the first time. Means it doesn't matter what I wear to church! I have dinner in the crock pot and am ready to go!
Oh, for those who have been waiting, I didn't get pictures last weekend. I had unplugged my camera charger when I painted in the kitchen and it doesn't hold a charge very well any more. I had some great opportunities, but no pictures.
Oh yeah again, it snowed overnight - things are white here.
