Sounds gorgeous, Hetty. :-)
We're on a low carb eating regimen, too many pre-diabetics in the house. We're having a big turkey with lots of leftovers, squash custard (not pumpkin pie), lots of green veggies and apple brown betty with berries and cream for dessert.
I'm being lobbied hard for mashed potatoes. I always used to leave the skins on. I'm think of getting up early, throwing out half of the insides and making mashed potato skins with cream cheese, maybe some grated swiss cheese. Think they'll notice?
My fiber project right now is finishing a card woven sash for a friend of mine. It's green wool, about 4" wide. I'm hoping I can get it off the loom this weekend so I can start on several baby blankets next week. Everyone I know is having babies this year, it seems.
A couple of my favorites (shhhh!) are getting handspun merino wool, otherwise, wool yarn from my too-big stash.
For Christmas, my daughter is getting several blankets from an acrylic stash my mother passed on to me this summer. Lots of play and experimentation with patterns for no $$. And they're all machine washable. ;-)
My girls are planning to make scarves for one another for Christmas, as a surprise. lol And so the skills go on to another generation.
Great fun last night, I wove over 18" watching the Dems go down in flames. :-) Prayers for our troops and their Commander In Chief...

Hey Pinz! Where you been?
Tell me about that pre-diabetic stuff. Mom was diabetic, grandpa was too, and brother is officially diagnosed pre. I got scared straight and now eat a whole lot differently.
I am thinking about making a pumpkin custard with non-fat milk and maybe baking splenda. I like plain pumpkin with pepper, no sugar at all or butter. But that dish doesn't seem thanksgiving-y enough.
I was also thinking about a fat-free coolwhip berry thingie.
I used to make a nice icebox pie/fake cheesecake out of sugar free jello, non-fat plain yogurt, and coolwhip. But I might be the only one around here who would eat it, and there would be too much for me. And I no doubt would eat it all...
