The smell of happy goodness...

fills my house tonight.  I have nuts and spices married for the baklava tomorrow.  Brownies are in the oven now. Chocolate chip, gingerbread, and pate choix are all on deck for tomorrow.  I may throw in a surprise or 2 as well.

The sewing machine has been quiet.  I have not been pushing my luck with the motor today. Instead I have been ironing, finishing up hand work and mending.  I think... I just might pull this Pennsic thing off. Minus a shirt and captain's coat.  I will be doing lacing holes on the drive up its tradition.
