Not Feeling Well

I am really not feeling very well right now. So I am just going to say that this is the evening of my next give away.

First person to leave a comment asking for the Vogue Knitting Shawls and Wraps book will receive it.

Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God Bless.

Plugging Away

Today I have spent partly baking and partly finishing up started projects. I am also working on using some yarn up.... No waste around this household any longer!!!

I started the day off baking cookies.

First off were these

Whipped Shortbread. I was going to put them through my cookie press, but decided to go the easy route of rolling the chilled dough into balls and pressing them down. I also only made a single batch instead of the usual double (sometimes even triple) batch.

I moved on to these next

A single batch of Christmas themed Sugar Cookies. I do need to decorate these, but that can wait until tomorrow.

The last thing I made was Peanut Butter Squares.

A nice big pan as these are a family favorite.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get the Caramel Slice, Peanut Brittle, and the Three Layer Bars done. I think I will save the Cinnamon Buns until Sunday or perhaps Monday. Gingerbread Man cookies sound like a really good idea right now, but we will see if I feel up to it.

Project finished is this cowl.

I started this cowl when we went to Moosejaw and I finally finished it today.

Now I have started another knitting project that will hopefully be finished soon. There was a ball and a half of this yarn left and since I am on a no waste, use it up challenge as a means to living a simpler more frugal life I decided to start this a couple of days ago.

This should work out to be a double wrap infinity scarf by the time I am done. A girl can never have too many scarves!

My give away for tonight to anyone who wants it is the Knit Ponchos, Wraps, and Scarves. Once again it will go to the first person who requests it in the comments.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Thursday Tid Bits

I decided to do my shopping and bill paying today so that I could bake undisturbed the rest of the week.

After I got back I started with some simple things.

Two trays of Almond Bark.

Then these

Chocolate Coconut balls.

I hope to start earlier tomorrow and get Cinnamon Buns, English Shortbread and Whipped Shortbread Cookies made. If I am really luck I could manage to get the first batch of Peanut Brittle made as well.

I found some more items to give away today following the Advent Challenge. They are these three books.

I am doing something different. Today I am giving away the Christmas Ornaments to Make to the first reader of my blog to request it.

Tomorrow I will be giving away the Knit Ponchos Wraps and Scarves the same way. This continues on Saturday when I will give away the Vogue Knitting Shawls and Wraps. If there are no takers I will be taking them to the other used items shop in town.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Bloggy Give Away

I noticed yesterday that I have not had a give away in a very long time. Soooo, in honour of what seems like blogging forever (really it hasn't been forever) I am hosting a give away.

Two of the ruffle scarves I have made will be winging their way to two lucky readers.

Just leave a comment with the colour you would like and at the end of the month I will make a drawing for the two winners.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

My Pillows Are Finished

Last night I stuffed the embroidered pillow cases and sewed them shut. They turned out very nicely.

I would like to offer one of them as a give away. Anyone that posts a comment on this post will have their name entered into a draw for the pillow of their choice.

Well off to visit you all. Everybody have a wonderful evening. God bless.
