And this is what I did between fishing 
Currants, Coxcomb and Rose pincushion by The Goode Huswife
I didn't get around to the BOAF ornie. I had started this awhile ago with just one of the borders. This is how much I stitched when I was not fishing or snacking.
I took Friday off from being in the boat and did a little shopping
Do you want to see what I bought????
Two awesome needleshops. The Stitcher's Garden in Conway and Stitch-N-Time in Little Rock. Thanks! to the ladies on the 123 message board.
I also visited a yarn shop Knit Unto Others and couldn't resist these colors for a blankie for a special little girl
Dora Explorer colors. I haven't crochet it seems like forever. I started it in the cabin that night.
So after we got home I crocheted this
and this
two wonky dishclothes. I need more practice, lol
I have so much to do around here that I will NOT be posting until after the new year. I will try to keep up reading and commenting here and there.
There is the house to get ready, shopping, wrapping, decorating and planning a Christmas Day menu. We are going to the tree farm this evening.
I want to wish everyone a very happy warm holidays with lots of friends and family. I do hope Santa brings you everything you want, so Be Good.
Happy Holidays... my friends

That's the best fishing trip I've ever seen! I didn't know those rods and spinners could bring in such great stash... must try that myself some time.
Fantastic stash enhancement! Nice!
I have never seen the banner (A Joyous Christmas) that is on your blog. Who is the designer of that chart. Thanking you in advance.
