Hi Friends,
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving last week! Ours was lovely. We had two different celebrations: Our family dinner was the Saturday before Thanksgiving so that everyone (my fam of 4 and my mom & dad) could attend. Then on Thursday we celebrated with some friends. Both occasions were such a blessing.
The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, crocheting, family time, baking, a little working, and dear daughter and I went to The Nutcracker Ballet at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. It is our mother-daughter annual tradition and it was delightful as always!
And now my busy season is in full swing. I hope to at least send out a shout here on the blog once (hopefully twice) a week. Or maybe I will surprise myself with more.
Here are some photos of some of my recent events. 🙂
Blessings with joy,
Jingle Bell Jackie
The day after Thankgiving it was -9 F, but I had my yummy drink, toasty warm fire and Christmas crochet!
Our early Thanksgiving. ❤
On Thanksgiving day. 🙂
At the Ballet!
After the ballet… Parisian macaroons! 🙂
Baking was also part of our weekend. Here is some batter for pumpkin-chocolate chip muffins.
And I am currently designing little crochet people (with a matching shoe). Also known as a “Shoe Baby”. 🙂 Stay tuned…

Looks like a very nice holiday week! I need to find a place to see the Nutcracker–then I’ll know Christmas is coming!
We love it! Recently it has been performed by the Cinncinnati Ballet Co. and our local youth dancers. So fun! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your beautiful family adventures!
Hi Tammy! Thanks for your sweet words and my pleasure. 🙂 Blessings!
Such a beautiful family, and thanks for the reminder that it is time to start baking some cookies. I have been too immersed in writing and blogging. Yikes we might starve at Christmas. Ha as if that would happen.
Lol! And thanks for your sweet words. Hugs!
Sounds like you had a lovely Thanksgiving week! 🙂
It was very nice!
