Happy New Year!

I underestimated the amount of time it would take me to complete my baking, wrapping, cooking, and cleaning up in my last post.  And we won't even begin to factor in the amount of time spent talking with my children. Amazing.  I was off for five days for the holiday and it flew by until I went back to work Monday.

First, here's a picture of my cookie platter on Christmas Eve.

A few new recipes on there.  The caramel and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks with homemade caramel were a big hit.

I managed to squeeze a little stitching and finished stitching these during the month of December.

Deer in the Meadow from Merry Christmas leaflet by Blackbird Designs

Snowy Eve from the same leaflet

and Merry Christmas also from that leaflet.

I hope that 2015 is healthy and happy for you.

I'm off to my stitching room to look through my stash and formulate some stitching plans for the year ahead.

Keep on Stitching!
