7 Weeks Until Christmas

 


The very last advent gift was wrapped and stickers attached.  The bags are ready to deliver.  

All fall decorations were taken down. Christmas decorations are slowly being put up.  No new recipes tried lately, but I have ordered a fiction Christmas themed book from the library.  I have more Christmas themed books on my own shelf to read yet too.

I started a crocheted lap afghan for a Christmas gift.  It will need mailed to the recipient, so I hope to get it finished this month.



A "first" for us this holiday year - Christmas Spice Extract.  I am making it homemade to try in baking recipes, but I do need to add peel from one organic orange yet.  Not sure if it's worth making until we use it in recipes.
