Happy December

December 23, we got a beautiful Christmas tree...the place around the corner where they'd been selling them put a FREE sign out.  This one had a $75 price tag on it.

We brought homemade gingerbread cookies decorated with words and snowflakes to paint pottery with family and friends.

 Vegetable soup.

 A bit of snow.

 Cinnamon rolls.

 And plenty of merry-making with family!

The cinnamon roll recipe is SO simple and easy.

Hope your December has been warm and filled with joy! ♥ 

Sewing mittens

 Mittens.

 A new stocking.  The one I just sewed is the second from the left.  You can see how I used the sweater:

I had several sweaters shrink because of being careless with wash, one cashmere...  So, I cut out mittens out of the sleeves and sewed a stocking out of the body.

We got this book out of the library today.  It's dated 1964.

And more mittens sewn from sweaters.
