This past week brought crazy cold weather to the North Woods of Idaho. We had a few days with sub-zero temps. A few days where the nights were warmer than the days. Snow and blizzard conditions as well. I have not ventured outside much .. other than to drop off or pick up someone in town. No Black Friday shopping for me; sleep is better medicine than rushing around in the middle of the night en mass looking for a bargain. A meal of scrumptious turkey, ham, taters 'n gravy with cranberries and green beans will be on the menu tonight. Turkey stock is simmering on the stove to freeze for soups.
During the quiet moments of the week, I've been sewing a night gown similar to the one in the photo; just have to do the arms and buttons. It's been a while since I've sewn clothing .. and with my near sighted vision not being what it used to be .. it was rather tedious. Sewing skills are on the decline .. but I think it's a skill worth practicing. The knitting needles have seen little rest as dish clothes are flying off at the speed of light ;)
