These past 2 days have been very productive.
Thanks to the miserable weather, I got a lot of baking done, since I couldn’t rightly go outside and run any errands.
Candy Cane cookies
Buttermilk Sugar Cookies
Coffee Cake
(a Christmas hostess gift)
Maple Pecan Pie
(requested by my Uncle)
I also finished Dan’s knee warmers in time for Christmas! They are downstairs drying after receiving a good washing.
The guest bedroom is mostly ready to receive my father-in-law. At the very least, I have reduced the amount of dust and located the beds under the mountain of pillows.
We have clean clothes. I’m sure all our guests will be appreciative.
All I have left to do tonight is finish the silk tie, but the couch on the way to my craft room is looking awfully tempting.
Mmm, the food looks good. Can I come to your place for dinner?
:-)
Wow! A baking marathon. They all look really yummy. I used to make the candy cane cookies, they weren’t as easy as the look as I remember.
Wow you were busy! Good for you. I hate cleaning and dusting. Blah.
Yum! Now just pour a cuppa hot tea!! Nancy
We are having a bake-a-thon here too! We just finished baking some egg-nog cookies. We have two others to go before we get to the candy cane cookies. Yum!
ooh! will you share the recipe of the candy cane cookie? i haven’t seen them (or eaten them) since my grandma passed away many years ago. (only my paternal grandma made christmas cookies, my mom’s mom was a cooker – not a baker!)
Wow. Your house must smell fantastic!
I’ll take a slice of the pecan pie, please :)
Happy Holidays, Marie.
Everything looks delish! I tagged you in my new blog meme: friday freaky fun fact & foto that I got from Velma. Hope you’ll join in!
Everything looks delicious and I bet it tastes even better!
Merry Christmas Marie!
(and thanks for the card backatcha!)
