TWO Finished Slippers, Ah, Ah, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Guess what day it is????  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

We're also preparing for another T-giving when we cook our butts off all day and then eat the meal in like five minutes.  The thing that's discouraged grandmothers and moms all this time.

I finished the sewing of the second slipper last evening, so now they're both awaiting a felting adventure:


 I'm onto making some other things as well as the hat in lieu of October Gift.  I thought that November Gift would be posted this week, but so far there's nothing new out there.

In other news - Oogyhubby and I are looking forward to cooking our butts off tomorrow, starting very early in the morning.  I'll be attempting a fancy pecan/pumpkin pie recommended by JW.  He's quite the chef and baker, so I've already set the bar pretty low for myself, LOL.  I'll post a pic if it turns out OK.

Here's to a peaceful and healthy T-giving!  If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to take a few minutes to make a list of the ten things you're grateful for from this past year.  It's been a rough year for many, but hopefully you can find a few rays of hope and sunshine in there somewhere :)

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
