Rainy Saturday.




How is everyone this fine rainy Saturday. Well, what little snow we had is now all gone. It is pouring cats and dogs outside today. That makes it a good day to stay inside where it is nice and warm.
I have to go for an x-ray on my right knee on Monday afternoon, so no need to go out twice.

Now that I am feeling myself again, I have tried my hand at doing some cookies, bagels and a loaf of bread. My hubby sent for a really nice bread knife from China and he tried cutting the loaf of bread this morning. It did a good job and the knife is really nice.






 Gingerbread cookies and marbled shortbreads. They're alittle tricky to do. Have to have 3 bowls of dough and colour two then roll together to form marbled design. Not something I really like to do.

But, they do taste yummy.




 I have been doing alittle stitching and here's what I have done and am doing.


Cardinals on the back of this stitch, I know the charts has two rows of bells but I like it with one row, and in my colours.

Main Street Station. 


 I did not like the cream colour for the station. It is too pale for me. Stations aren't white so I did my brown. I think I will take out the green wreath and make it a brighter green and more red for the berries. They don't stand out very well.




I am doing this stitch on 25 ct linen. I like this linen.

This is the Christmas tree we are having for Christmas. We don't feel like putting up the big one.






































As you can see we don't have any snow left. We really did not have allot to start with. Just really cold, cold days.

Well, time for me to go. Hope you all have a great weekend. Until next time. Stay warm and save. Bye.
