Cheesecake, pink pants, and what a nest

Last evening I needed to get a cheescake made to take to the neighbor's tonight. As soon as I get home from work, I will make a sweet potato casserole to take also.

I finally remembered to take a picture of the huge nest in the neighbor's tree. We believe this is where the Barr Owls hang out since we hear them in this area all the time.

I got started on taking apart the pants I am going to alter for my nephew. I will need to take out about 4 - 5 inches in the waist. I don't know if I will have to do more than hem the jacket sleeves right now. He will come over on Friday to try the pants on and we will go from there.

I have done a lot of alterations in my lifetime. Not my favorite thing to do anymore, but after the disaster that happened a couple years ago when Michael used a professional shop to fix a pair of pants and they literally fell apart during his first song. He paid a lot of money and I think they sewed them with air. He hates asking me, but I cannot let him go thru that again. Here are some jackets I made when I worked at the shop that made custom clothes for people who showed Western horses. I didn't have to cut the lamb leather or put on the decorations. My job was just the jacket construction. I also did most of the alterations for the place.

Have a great Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to 4 days off.
