Mmm cranberry!

I've done more of the Haunted Graveyard cross stitch. I cut out the cargo pockets for the fuzzy PJ pants and pressed the pleats but haven't felt competent to run the sewing machine yet.

Our Thanksgiving dinner included veggies from our garden! Shallots, potatoes, carrots, and onions (in the stuffing). Okay so maybe that was our ENTIRE harvest of most of those; but I'm still really pleased.

In the course of holiday events, Mr Diane and I also cleared off quite a bit of kitchen counter space as well as the ENTIRE dining room table. I could get used to having this much space!

I was just thinking of this comm today. I hope you're okay, admin.

Accomplished:
2 comic sketches. This was entirely done for practice AND brainstorming something I want to make soon. I learned a lot but I'm really tired rn so just read my latest liveblog (https://zenigotchas.dreamwidth.org/427939.html) and then follow up (https://zenigotchas.dreamwidth.org/428578.html) about it if you're curious what I've learned.

I DID start something for sweetandshort but I've been so tired, busy and stressed that it's still a draft and I really don't feel like finishing it rn. It's Mario fanfiction.... I have not written that since I was in highschool, lol.

I also did more perspective drawings? If I'm remembering right? Yes I did. And I started working on my chickens. I had a bit of breakdown while I did it but I'm more grounded and ready to figure them out... I did a lot of drawing just for fun too which was a welcome change of pace.

I read more of my book today. I've been avoiding finishing it because it's boring as hell. I think this is proof I should look up analysis for it because it's probably really deep if it's so boring to me.

I skipped celebrating Thanksgiving which was good self care for me.

The night before thanksgiving I made two kinds of cookies to take & I mended a small hole in my partner's shirt. Both were a success! The cookies were well received & the mend wasn't noticed by my partner at all. He prefers invisible mending so I'm happy about that.

Tonight I darned a hole in one of my socks & I sorted my leftover threads. I still have 3 socks with holes to darn but I'll do it later.

I finished my novel (yay!) and I'm gearing up to tackle some of the fandomtrees exchange (I think there's time to sign up if you're interested)

I'm actually taking a bit of a break this week with art because I have some social things going on due to my birthday.
But I have been getting close to finishing up a jigsaw puzzle with my boyfriend. And I have been sewing and fixing up some old jeans that I don't want to get rid of just yet. And lastly I have been close to adding the last of my extra stamps to my postal stamp collection. :-)

Narissia, my November project, was finished on November 30th. It was a rewrite of an edited piece that I did. Now, I need to do the "pitch letter" and start farming it out to agents and publishers.

I also baked three pies in two days (one is gone). Made dulce de leche, did the full Thanksgiving spread, and just BAKED a lot.

This will be my life for the weekends for the foreseeable future.
