In addition to my computer I got a mouse, pen drive, chocolate and a Joann's gift card from my boys - I really made out like a bandit :) Guess giving my husband all the money I saved up for the laptop I didn't end up getting (remember by failed shopping trip to Best Buy this past fall?) worked to my advantage!
Here are a few cloths that I recently finished...since finishing the infamous slippers:
The first one is another DW cloth and the next two are "Corner to Corner" cloths. The pattern is found in this booklet Lily Sugar 'n Cream Kitchen Kolors!. (#570821). Basically it's grandmother's favorite with out the yarn overs! I had a little bit of Christmas colored yarn left, but not enough for a whole cloth so I striped it with the solid red. I like the result. The same thing with the DW cloth...not enough left for a whole cloth so I striped it with yellow ombre. I bet you can't even tell the it's striped?Last, but not least...I think this is what really made our Christmas morning special:
Christmas Eve Shortcut BunsI thought I would try this recipe this year. Who wants regular breakfast food for Christmas morning? The night before you prepare the recipe and let it rise overnight. Then when the presents are being opened you bake the rolls. The aroma was incredible! Just a little warning...it is so tempting to put more rolls in the bundt pan than what the recipe calls for...don't. It really looks sparse, but by morning the pan is filled to the brim with the risen dough.More rolls would have made it over flow and you can imagine the mess. This is definitely a keeper and new tradition in my home :)
Merry Christmas everyone!! Happy Knitting :)

ReplyDeleteYum!!! Glad to hear that you got a new lap top and gift cards are always awesome!!! Hope you are having a great Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks a lot like the breakfast monkey bread we make on Christmas morning! I love it because I make it all up the night before and then just pop it in the oven when we have about 1/2 hour of presents left! I also make sausage strata because it too is made the night before. Glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
