On this sunny Thanksgiving morning, I couldn’t resist finally getting a start on Sunshine’s interior decor. First project, sewing boat cushions. Check out of this beautiful Sunflower Ultrasuede, from FabricGuru.com. Good color for a boat named Sunshine right?

Happy Thanksgiving Nancy and Tom. The ultrasuede material looks beautiful for cushions, a great way to snuggle up in the cabin of the boat.
So, did you have lobster or turkey for T-Day?
Good thought Candace. Lobster is one of the things I’m thankful for. But we had traditional turkey this year. A friend from a neighboring boat invited us to dinner with his family. I loved the pumpkin chiffon pie and am planning to initiate our oven with a pie shell so that I can duplicate it.
