Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Terry and I visited Daughter Jes and her husband Andrew in DC.

By the way, that is not my cat in the above pic, that is Whiskey. Miss Kitty went to Pawville for a well deserved vacation. A two day drive was not a good idea for our sweet kitten.

I know she looks like she isn’t happy, but actually she is. Pawville is great. Sends me messages about her mood plus photos. This smitten kitten was semi-feral until she found me 6 months ago. She is happy to be housed, warm, protected from owls, and fed. And having said all that, I miss her and wish she could have come with us!

It was cold during several days of the visit. I didn’t bring the appropriate outdoor clothes and Jes suggested I wear her coats. Let’s just say I am not an XS so that did not work. But I brought lots of long sleeved shirts and sweatshirts, gloves, scarfs, and hats, so with all the layering it all worked out and I survived.

We hiked at Great Falls and watched some amazing kayakers actually take those rapids.

Did some shopping in Georgetown. There’s a Kitty and Cat petting cafe!

Ate a LOT of food.

I took lots of hand sewing projects for the two day drive. but other than those stitches, it was a vacation from sewing. You know I love all my projects but if I take a few days off, my creativity juices start flowing.

And OMG. All those Black Friday sales at all my favorite blogs and Etsy shops! I’m home and waiting for a few arrivals so I can start all those Christmas projects.

Let the holiday frenzy begin!
