And I've Got Nothing

Hmmm.....  nothing to report here.  Yesterday was beautiful, today was windy.  Working nights for the next 3 weeks which doesn't put me in a creative mood.  I just want to sleep... All. The. Time.

Maybe someday I'll have something cool and exciting to write about again.  Bear with me.

Christmas 2011

We opened our "family" gifts on Christmas Eve - Hannah & Maggie LOVED their stuffed Beaver & Raccoon.  I think it took 'em less than 24 hours to pull the Raccoon's head off and less than that to tear a hole in Beav's belly and remove an eye...  But they had a fun time doing it and still love to fight over the pieces.

We spent Christmas Day with Bryan's family.  It was a nice, low-key day watching the kids play.

My New, Fun Christmas Project

I bought one for a pattern at the Portales (New Mexico) Peanut Festival back in October.  Finally had a chance to make a few - once I got it down, they were a snap to make.  Untie the ribbon and the basket will lie flat for storage.

I call them cookie or candy baskets:

I tried to show it lying flat but the pic isn't very good.
