Holiday Treats

My daughter and I usually do the Christmas baking together. It's something that we both dread and look forward to. This year I am not well enough to help much. Jamie is determined to keep the tradition going. She is having a difficult time accepting that I am sick. I can tell that she is angry with me because nothing is "normal" now. Here are some of the yummy treats that Jamie made last night for the upcoming Christmas Eve with our family.

Under Construction

It's been 12 years since we started building our house. It seems like every Holiday season, we are under construction. This year Tom has just finished the trim around the windows in the living room.

Felted Wool Bowl

This is my first attempt at making a wool felted bowl. I got so carried away that I broke the needles in my felting pen. My husband is super!!! He picked up a new one for me in Pittsburgh yesterday and I ordered a lot of 50 needles on Ebay. This is so fun to do.

Easy Christmas Ornament

Last year I needed a few more ornaments for my tree, so I bought some clear glass balls and filled them with white feathers.

Crow Penny Rug

I found this old penny rug that I made years ago. It was my first attempt and I used a pattern.

Fishermen's Wool Scarf

I crocheted this big ribbed scarf with Fishermen's Wool. It is 100% pure virgin wool. It contains lanolin that makes it water resistant in cold damp weather. Remains wearable even when damp.

WELCOME

This is the main entry to my house. As you can see I'm not ready for the Holidays yet. I hope to have my decorating done next week. I still have shopping to do, haven't baked anything yet, I have gifts to wrap, cards to send, the house needs cleaned, the menu ................. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
