Christmas Baking, YUM!

14/1/2016

While not making ornaments, my daughter and I were doing Christmas baking. The first set we did were sugar cookies for gifts. We made sugar cookie kids for each cousin, and a bunch of hearts and stars for her daycare provider. 

I found a recipe of my Granny's for thimble cookies, so I decided to switch it up and make thumbprint cookies. I made the dough and the little one used her thumbprint on the cookies, then we filled them with cherry or raspberry jam. She had a blast, and loved taste testing both the jam and the cookies.

Finally, Pinterest is amazing for finding cool things. Found a recipe for Christmas tree cookies. We cut them into triangles and used candy canes as tree stumps. Using leftover sugar cookie icing, I made strands, then added sprinkles.

Creative Christmas

13/1/2016

Being home on maternity leave means having a bit of time on my hands to get creative with my daughter, on the days I have her home with me and the babe. This Christmas we went a bit crazy with the tree decorations.

My husband found a fallen birch branch he was able to cut into little pieces for tree ornaments. He drilled little holes, which I strung with twine. 

My little girl allowed me her hand for a few fingerprint ornaments, and helped with doing a couple of her brothers fingerprints, then she did some abstract painting for others. The final, I did a few that I saw on Pinterest that I liked and seemed not too difficult to do (with little ones around). 

We also went about making yarn hats with toilet paper rolls and buttons. Easy to make, time consuming, but lots of fun. These went over well as homemade gifts.

Hello, 2016!

It's a brand new year, exciting isn't it? Now it's time to play catch up...here's is the first in a series of items which happened before the new year.

I received all of the rest of my Cards Against Humanity #EightSensibleGifts of Hanukkah. What a fun little endeavour. Enjoyed it very much, well worth the cost. The final night, night 8, gave me the chance to be monarch of Sensible Castle for three minutes on August 20th, and allowed three decrees to be put in place upon my rule. So delightful, my husband and I are dreaming them up now. Came with a letter from one of CAH's dad's on Power, and an awesome map with the Castle and the country it resides in.

We are thinking two sensible, nice decrees, fun for all. Then one funny, out of the ordinary, strange decree.
