cupcakes

Yesterday my friend Sue taught me how to make frosting roses.

I made about 2 dozen roses and decided to let the girls have a cupcake decorating morning.

i finished something!!!

Socks for Joel

I started them months ago, but I am going to wait until Valentines day to give them to him.

Opal yarn hasn't dissapointed me yet.

Anyone out there have a favorite sock yarn?

pear custard pie

Here is the pear pie
all tucked away in a surprise box for my dear friends Debbie and David.
Happy 10 year Anniversary!!!

You can find the recipe in this book
I love this book!!!-every recipe turns out to be so delicious.
My friend Lene made the cake and rolls...... if only she would write a Danish cookbook.

Have a great weekend!!!

imperfect pear

These imperfect pears caught my eye

I've never had a red pear before

Tomorrow I will bake them into a Pear Custard Pie.

haircut

Joel let Matts give him a buzz


She gave him a new look.
The buzzers died after only this much was cut
good thing we found a back-up pair of buzzers

What a good Dad.

my little kittens won't lose their mittens

Well at least I hope not.....
I placed my favorite wooden bowl by the front door to catch all of our hats, mittens, and scarves.
Most days it has worked-now if I could only keep track of their socks.
It has been -10 degrees today- add the windchill, and this bowl should be empty.

Days this cold make me very thankful for my warm house and wool socks

marvelous mitts

one down
one more to go
