For the four footed friends:
Homemade Christmas biscuits with peanut butter, oatmeal and coconut.
I used my own dog as the tester and he seems to like them, but he will eat anything so I definitely can't consider his opinion to be unbiased.
For the gift that keeps on giving:
Some delicious cranberry lime infused vodka in pretty bottles. I haven't tasted yet but this definitely passes my "sum of all parts" test:
Vodka? Good
Cranberries? Good
Limes? Good
Sugar? Good
I can't see how it could go wrong!
For the newly wed:
Three dimensional felted/beaded/sequined/embroidered Christmas stocking.
So the Grams had made these for my brother and sister and I and they were amazing. Until they caught fire. Felt is kindling of the best kind in the garage arson world, apparently. So, being the new wifey that I am and wanting to start a few teensy tiny traditions I wanted to make a stocking in the same vein for me and the man.
I should be able to finish his up, mine, have not even started and the staggering amount of 3D woodland characters depicted on the packaging has me concerned I might not even be done by NEXT year. Ah well.
For the newer friends:
So I still wanted to give little things to people I like but don't know very well so I crafted these knotted scarves that I found online. http://www.putapuredukes.com/2011/09/braided-scarf-tutorial.html
Not too shabby for a first attempt and I think they will be appreciated.
My jersey was not on sale, I forgot a coupon and I had a mild slicing mishap that made the project take about 3x longer than it should have but they still look like the picture and will keep your necky warm so there ya go.
Even now I am trying to convince myself not to tackle any more until the stockings are finished but regardless, I am proud of me and my attempts this year. Usually I have ideas that never come to fruition.
Look at me kicking the ass of a potential NY resolution before it's even a new year.
Yeah, that's how I roll.
