The Stockings Were Hung....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

The weekend is over!!  It was a very productive weekend and I feel a bit accomplished on top of that!!!  

Friday was my day off so I got EVERYTHING that needed to be done then so that I could stay home this weekend.

Yesterday was a bit of knitting, and the rest was housework.  Every surface in this house has been washed, vacuumed, dusted, oiled and in some cases more than one of these may have been done!  

There is a possibility that I may be ready for Christmas with the exception of baking that will take place on my week off before Christmas.  

I started the day by baking a loaf of Banana Gingerbread.  Used up cupboard bananas so a WIN!!  
 

Finished the hand binding on a table runner I made for my brother for Christmas.  I did attempt a machine binding but still not a fan of this type of binding.  Back to hand sewing.....

I picked up a Stocking Quilt Panel at Sew Divine recently with the intent of making the dog and cat their own Christmas Stocking.  The doggie stocking is really cute, but alas my dog is way TOOOOO big for his treats to fit in there.  I decided to use the other stocking panel with a dog on it for him and the smaller stocking will go to our family friend's new doggie who is that size:

Now it is off to walk the Montyster doggie for the evening and then get to bed as tomorrow will be a long day.

Hope this inspired your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Monday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there....😷

Secret Santa Day 2!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today I decided to bake gingerbread cookies for the Secret Santa gift exchange at work. 

Apparently I do not own, or simply cannot locate my gingerbread man cookie cutter, so I had to make STARS!!!

They turned out well, and very tasty of course:


TAH DAH!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Ginger Cookies

I just realized right now that my blog posting is seriously behind!  What happened?
Well, for starters I have been super busy with my son this week, and then everyone seems to be getting sick so my favorite word has been used a lot this week: Over Time.
We did make Ginger Cookies the other evening though:
I do make these a dozen at a time, honest, but my son tried one, so then I had too, and so on!
Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Gingerbread People


Last evening my son and I took out the gingerbread cookie dough from the refrigerator and baked these Gingerbread Men.  After the cookies were cool, we iced them with left over butter cream icing.
The recipe for these cookies is below:
 
Gingerbread Cookies:
1/2 cup non hydrogenated margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 tsps white vinegar
1 egg
3 cups flour
1/2 tsps baking soda
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
2 tsp Gingerbread Spices

In a sauce pan mix together margarine, sugar molasses and vinegar.  Bring to a boil stirring constantly.  Let cool and add egg.  Add mixture to remaining ingredients.  Wrap in roll and refrigerate for 2 hours.  Roll out and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Enjoy!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
