Cookies

What a silly goose I am!!!  Just found the pics I took at Christmas of the cookie tray!!!  These cookies are all gone now and were the results of 9 days of baking.......


This was just one platter of goodies.  Gone are the rugalach roll cookies, they are the first to disappear!!  Also not shown are the walnut biscotti which I put in a separate container for everyone to have at breakfast.

The ones with orange and yellow glitter sugar are Italian ricotta cookies.

Boxes and trays were packed for family and friends and delivered the week of Christmas.  This is the one thing I really enjoy doing and giving.

On another note.....this is the beautiful poinsettia plant given to me by my nephew John and niece Claire on my birthday in December.    It is the size of Kansas and only fits in my foyer!!  I might add, it is still alive and giving me great pleasure!!!







Oops, I see my broom by the front door......I use it to sweep the snow off the porch.......just keeping it real folks!!!

Thanks for stopping by...........

Happy New Year!!!

Best wishes to all for a wonderful year filled with blessings of all kinds!!!

I see most people are posting their best or top 10 posts from the past year........I don't think I even had that many!!!  And didn't want to do a review, so on to the new stuff......

My sweet cherry hutch was calling for something calm and restful for the New Year.....since we are in the midst of a huge snow storm......some peace was called for!!  Out came my favorite brown pieces, which you have all seen before, so nothing new here..........however, these things please me.......and I really like looking at them!!




I also used some of my mom's pretty crochet work..........




Still keeping a bowl full of ornies out........not ready to put everything away yet......



My daughter gave me this egg long ago, it is Mexican onyx, and I love the colors........that paper cup is actually a muffin paper cup, cute, huh??





 I made this nest by felting yarn in a nest shape......
This tiny nest I made with yarn also and cut the little leaves from old dictionary pages........glued it on a wooden spool with paper and winter decor......the pics do not do it justice, can't seem to get any good ones!!!
Little cupid making his appearance!!

Little vintage velvet chick............

It is 5 degrees here, wind chill is minus 15..........and still snowing!!!  We've had more than 20 inches since last night, and higher in the drifts!!!   Ya gotta love winter here in New York!!!  Where ever you are, I hope you are safe and warm and above all.........be happy!!!

Thanks for visiting........
