heavier???

Jack does seem heavier and we'll know for sure how he is doing on Tuesday. He is still eating and eating!!

Bob and I went to a craft show yesterday... Practically the first booth we came to was one selling local wine with a chance to taste. It did seem a little early ... 9 AM... but we tasted anyway and bought a bottle of a strawberry reisling. Quite nice even with that name!!

Lots of booths to look at and managed to find some "smalls" for my quilting/ stitch and bi*** group's Christmas gift exchange which pleased me mightily!! Not saying what since a group member might read this blog!

I even met up with a fellow bear maker that I hadn't seen in 10 years!! We managed to catch up on our respective families and discovered she still makes bears from old family fur coats ( which I don't anymore!). So when I get that odd phone call out of the blue asking whether I still do , I can say "no" and pass on her name and details!!

The town where this craft show was held has lots of little antique stores so we stopped at a favorite... I think the store may have new owners ... few antiques and loads of Christmas decorative things. I can't complain too much since I found "something" I had to have.

Working on emptying the freezer... turkey etc time !

My Bff had a bear made from a family fur. Later on I made the bear a handspun sweater and cap. My friends friends beseiged me for sweaters for their bears, but I would not. Only for my friend.
