Busy Tuesday and Wednesday

It's been a long but productive day. I used the bread machine to make pizza dough. It makes enough for 2 large pizzas. Tonight's pizza had chicken, pineapple and onions on it. Tomorrow's pizza will be pepperoni, olives, onions, and mushrooms.

Tomorrow I'm making mincemeat cookies and an apple pie for Thanksgiving. We are having Thanksgiving with family. I'll be sure to take needlework along so I don't get bored out of my mind.
The kitchen only holds two people, and my boyfriend and his mom will be side by side cooking so I'll have to amuse myself in the living room.

Part of today I spent crocheting a baby cocoon. I wanted to work on an adult version of the target hat shown in the photo but I ran out of time.

I got my daily reading done in a book called Raven's Gift. I read it outside in the sunshine but once the sun dipped behind the hills, so did the temperature so I had to go back inside.

Now it's past midnight and I need to get some sleep.

A hat for a new baby.

Kate Elliott Crown of Stars Series...no spoilers

I'm just about to start book six of the Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliot.  In was meant to be five books, but the last book was so long and complex the editors and the author decided to make it into two books.  But first I have to go to the library and renew it. I'm about done with book five, In the Ruins.
It's an epic sword and sorcery series, which is my favorite genre. If I was able to get through the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series, I figured I could handle this.  Truth is I'm getting rather addicted to the complexities of books that center around pagan vs judeo christian ethos types of themes. They just take me so very very long to get through them. I can only read in a quiet environment, which I am almost never in. Even sitting in front of a computer is too distracting, which is why I'm typing, not reading, right now. But In the Ruins is due today, so I need to get cracking. I've already renewed it twice.
