Well Christmas is finally over. Got all my Christmas baskets done and the gifts that Santa brought for the grandchildren where a hit. Now I can get back to crocheting. Need to figure out what new project I want to start on. Have a couple of ideas that I think would be nice. My husband has got a new pet Rupert the Papillon. I must be crazy for agreeing to the little puppy thing again!! But when you go and see the little puppies they are soooo cute :) I could crochet him a little coat couldn't I..... I just might. :)

Getting ready for Christmas!



Well I'm trying to crochet pot holders and dish cloths to put in the gift baskets that I'm making for our four children and their families. I only have a couple more dish cloths to make. As far as the baking go's so far I have made pumpkin biscotti , chocolate biscotti(of course white chocolate is drizzled on top of both biscotti's),two pineapple breads, now I need to make 2 Apricot-Orange Breads & 6 Zucchini Breads ( for work). I have Grandma's Hot Chocolate mix & Mocha mix made and put in the bags with the ribbons on the packages. Just need to bag up my homemade Granola , then I will be just about done. Of course I will need to add my Gingerbread Stars and Men to the baskets of goodies. But I can wait to bake the gingerbread cookies next weekend. I will have to go buy my baskets next weekend also. Thought I would post a picture of my Pumpkin Biscotti and my Hot Chocolate mixes
