happy holidays!

...more zippered pouches

We had a craft fair at work.  It's been an annual thing so employees can do some one-stop holiday shopping.  I made zippered pouches again.  This year they sold out! I made 21, which was less than last year because I didn't sell out then.  I think it was the fabric choice that did it. I used my stash of Junko Onishi fabric.

Ava can almost fit the sweater I knit when she was in my tummy.  There's still lots of room to grow in it.  A few pictures to share:

This is what she does when I say "no" (besides throwing herself on the floor).

I can't believe it's almost Christmas soon.

I haven't been crafting the past couple of weeks but will be doing a zippered pouch marathon this weekend.  I'm taking a break from cutting fabric right now. My work is having the annual craft fair this coming Wednesday.

Anyway, I'm sure you've received the e-mail about the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe that cost $250.  It's all a hoax...you can read more about it here.  Because of it's 100th Anniversary this year, NM decided to make a free cookie recipe.  It's on my to do list.  I'd like to see how this one tastes.  I got the first cookie recipe back in the early 90's and made it back then.  I remember it wasn't all that and tasted "ok".

Anne e-mailed me a link to TasteBook.  It's such a great idea! I would like to make one with my frequently used recipes.

I'm leaving you with a picture of the kids visiting me at my work.  They were very well behaved which is something I can't say when they're at home.
