Baby Hats

This is a very easy knitting pattern, it only takes a couple of hours.  I did a pink one and then the new baby was a boy so I had to do a green and blue one.  I hope I get it to him before it's too small.

Cookie Exchange Part 2 and 3

Don't you love these little Santa containers
Cookies are ready to go

The second batch of cookies that I made were peanut butter cups.  I got the recipe years ago from a  peanut butter jar.  I put chocolate chips in half and butterscotch chips in the other half - yummy!
Troy's cookies!








Part 3:  Unfortunately we had to cancel our plans.  Troy's friend couldn't make it and Troy had to fix his truck.  But he brought my cookies over on Tuesday and they were worth waiting for - Shortbread and Macroons!

Cookie Exchange Part 1

Cookies ready to go into the oven

The cookies are done, yummy

Cute little boxes to put them in.

Who wouldn't want to get a special box of cookies
I am having an cookie exchange with my friend Troy and a friend of his.  We are each exchanging one dozen of two different cookies.  Because there are only three of us, this way we will each get a dozen of four different cookies.  So I spent the morning making lemon jelly cookies.  They are a crisp cookie with a lovely lemon taste.  They have lemon jelly powder in them.
