Grace in small things.

1. 30+ people came to Thanksgiving! Awesome! No leftovers. Not even salad.

2. I went on strike and marched with some old work buddies on Wednesday. It was something I felt strongly about, and would have moped around with a heavy heart for a week if I hadn't done it. I think I was the only person from my school that went on strike (that more and more popular - but completely unenforceable - no strike policy), which is partly why I nearly didn't do it. Let's hear it for swimming against the tide.

3. I made the Purl Bee advent calendar.

It took me 10+ hours and I'm super chuffed with how it turned out and Dhari is really excited about it. He keeps saying, "I want it to be December 16th!" (there's a Green & Blacks white chocolate peeking out of that one)

4. Using sheets of actual wool felt for crafting, instead of the nasty acrylic stuff you get in most craft shops. It just feels so wonderful to the touch and the colours have a warmth to them that acrylic simply cannot achieve.

5. Scott and Regan's wedding in Cumbria. I heart Cumbria, most notably the Lake District. Even in the last days of November, it is beautiful.

1. Big ol' Thanksgiving partay comin' right up. My gonna eat some pecan pie.

2. Dhari made a snowman puppet today. He named it Hmmm.

3. We figured out where to put some of our clutter here at Chez Bhargava.

4. William Shatner and Ben Folds' "Has Been". So good.

5. I still like my job. Woot!

Americans,

During this post, please remember that we don't get a public holiday for Thanksgiving on this side of the Atlantic, so I have to choose a different day for the big Eat!

Love,

Suzanne.

1. Finally, a recipe for stuffing that worked out REALLY REALLY well. I adapted it a bit, but still. It even looked good. Do you know what an achievement this is???

2. Having immense amounts of fun, and feeling that everyone else did too, at my Thanksgiving party.

3. Wandering up to Angel on a Sunday morning, to learn to crochet at The Make Lounge.

4. The only leftover from Thanksgiving was salad.

5. I have a live plant back in my home again, after a long stretch without. If you're a plant person, and have lived without plants for a while, you'll know why this is such an important Small Thing.
