Piecing Things Together

by Christy

We’re on the home stretch! Just two months until 2001 is over and done with. But in those two months there are a lot of turkeys to be roasted, pies to be baked, thanks to be given, and gifts to be planned.

These months feel a little like the leftover biscuit dough on the kitchen counter. It doesn’t look like enough dough to make two more whole biscuits, but if you glom all those dough scraps back together, you’ll find there’s plenty left to round up your count of 10 biscuits to a nice even dozen. They may not be as pretty as your other, perfectly round biscuits, but we’ll take them any way we can get them. Once you slop on all the butter and jam, you can’t tell the difference anyway, and so it is with these last months of 2001.

At craftygal, we’re just trying to piece everything together in a similar fashion, and in so doing, I believe we’ve whipped up a pretty great issue for November. This month, I cozied up on the Porch with Bea Burnette and we gabbed about her great quilting projects. Head off to the fridge where you’ll find Jan sharing her appetizer recipes that will have your guests full before dinner. Jan got to showcase her recipes at our Travels outing, when Taryn coordinated a progressive dinner for the gang. Crafty pal, Michelle Rogers let me use her backpack idea for our Table--it’s a placemat, it’s a necktie, it’s a backpack! And finally, do you procrastinate? Do you wonder why you do? Jan is not putting off writing about procrastination any longer at the Stump.

Whether it’s fabric, dough, or words that you deal in, I’m sure there’s more than enough scraps left over to cover these last two months of the year--thanks be to God!!
