今日はブラックフライデー（感謝祭の次の日，あちこちのお店で大安売りがある）でしたが，外は氷点下だし，どこに行っても混んでいるだろうし，家族3人どこにも行かずに家で過ごしました。オンラインでもどこでもセールになっているのでちょろっと見てみましたが，結局何も買わず。暇を持て余していたので，クリスマスツリー・スカートを作りました。でも生木を使うため水をあげなくてはいけない関係で，スカートというよりもツリースタンドのマットという感じです。あんまりさえない色だけど，下に敷くだけだし，この布がちょうど家にあったのでこれでいいとします。
It was Black Friday today, but we stayed home and hung out all day. We don't like to go shopping for Black Friday because there are so many people at stores and we don't like the crowd. Plus it was below freezing today, so there was no way I could have gone outside! I thought of buying a pair of boots online, but shoes are hard to buy online you know, so didn't buy anything. I got kind of bored today and decided to make a Christmas tree skirt. It's more like a Christmas tree stand mat. We buy a real tree and have to give the tree water, so a tree skirt doesn't work well. It's not an exciting color, but this was the only fabric I had that was big enough to make a tree skirt, and it will just be underneath the tree and covered with presents anyway, so this is good enough.
これは昨日作ったガレットというクッキー。バターの味が濃厚でめっちゃおいしい～♪焼いたら生地がちょっと広がってしまったのでもうちょっと小麦粉がいるかな。またリベンジします。
These cookies are called galette (French). Love the butter flavor! They kind of came out flat, so I'll try to bake them again to see if I could make them look better. :)
