With the cold of winter here, we are enjoying hot oatmeal for breakfast. Something (nutritional) we discovered to top it with is this recipe. It also heats up the kitchen on a cold day.
Simply chop 1 1/2 cups (non-gmo, organic) macadamia nuts and mix in 1 teaspoon of organic cinnamon. Next. . .

Rest and Relaxation (kind of) ~ Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce
Sunday we finally sat around and simply enjoyed ourselves. We tossed around the idea of going bowling, but the more we relaxed and took time for ourselves, the more we wanted to simply hang out (in pajamas no less).
It's hard for me to sit around and do nothing, which was what we told Mom to do (she had another ER visit) for the next few days.
I was reading through a library book, on handmade gifts and decided to not let the year end without a "bang."
I went to the kitchen and made Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce.

Jingle Bells ~ Tidbits
I'm glad I did all of our laundry last Sunday. It's been raining here for a few days now. I'm starting to wonder if we'll even have snow on Christmas this year.
I, once again, had a busy day in the kitchen. I did not make it back into the closet as planned.
Now that Alias has a new tag to wear (his rabies shot tag), it sounds like jingle bells when he walks around the house. He's now gotten the nickname of "Jingles."

Handmade Christmas Ornament ~ Infused Honey Update
Although these can wait to be finished, I did get one done for photo sharing purposes.

Handmade Hand Lotion ~ Tidbits
I've been wanting to try this recipe all year, and finally got around to making it. I don't have the preservative for the updated recipe, and I used lemon essential oil (organic of course).

Coffee Tea Bags ~ Two and Three Word Tea Bag Quotes
I wanted to send Daughter some good coffee, and finally found a way to do it. The first thing that came to mind was a "Coffee Tea Bag" but they are really Coffee bags.
After I made these. . .

Handiwork Tidbits ~ Winston
Here are the "scrap" dishcloths I crocheted , using leftover yarn from various completions. I have no business working on a new mission (I am starting to dislike the word "project" ha ha!) They turned out pretty nice. I'll admit, I did try to color coordinate them, but scraps are scraps. I found the pattern in a book I borrowed from the library. It was actually a pattern requiring a different sequence of colors, but I simply used scraps. Once I have the name of the book, I will update it here later. Here's more to read......

Sharing another gift....and a Sunday Ramble
I can finally share two starfish dishcloths I gifted to my mother. She received these yesterday. They are thick enough to be table top/counter hot pads as well. The pattern is free on-line. I'll post the link as soon as I locate it again.
