thanks for all the comments and wishes for a happy thanksgiving over the weekend!

the weekend here started out well enough, with a yearly trip to the amusement park. it’s the perfect time of year. the summer crowds have thinned out, and the sun’s rays come in at just the right angle to warm you up from the cooler autumn air. unlike in the summer, when you are pressed up against strange people in scorching heat and you must tolerate even stranger smells as you wait in line for hours to go hurtling through the air and have your bones jarred on a roller coaster and wonder — “will this be the time the bolt pops out of the old rickety wood holding this thing together?”

yikes. i don’t know why i do it every year…

i had barely marked the punctuation on the sentence in my last post where i said i was thankful for good health, when i started to feel a little tickle in my throat…

a silly cold, plopped down during thanksgiving weekend. and if you’re the kind of person who starts to imagine you have a sniffle or two when you read or hear about someone with cooties, well, i’m sorry about that. quit being such a hypochondriac, will ya? (just kidding. i’m the same.)  here’s a big dose of vitamin c for you. you’ll be ok.

(the lengths i go to for you guys!)

when i wasn’t totally zonked out, i did a stitch or two on the hyperbolic anemone scarf, version 2.0. i’ve made a few more modifications to the pattern and i like it a lot more. it’s about halfway done…

i also had a little photo shoot of my vintage pyrex collection for some upcoming posts. here’s a sneaky peek…

but mostly, i rested. i missed out on thanksgiving dinner. weep for me. but i sent the kiddies and mr.madeItSo on a leftovers retrieval mission. their task was clear. and they didn’t let me down. (thanks mom! sorry i couldn’t be there.)… i’ll be enjoying that, and sharing a new project here, as soon as i’m all better.

woot.
