January

January has started a few days ago and I am only now making my second post!

We have had a very busy few weeks of lots of fun but also lots of poorliness.

In the fun stakes we had a Wonderful Christmas with my 1st ever homemade Christmas cake as above!

It wasn't finished until Christmas eve but was lovely none the less.

The top picture is home made Chicken Noodle Soup - It was administered to a flu ridden husband - he was actually poorly - at one point his temp reading was 40.3 or so - he recovered!

The middle picture is the Chrimbo decorations we made for gifts - They are so simple it is ridiculous - star shaped home made short bread wrapped in 2 layers of cellophane with sparkly stars between and some pretty ribbon to hang them up with.

I am cuurently knitting a blanket for D, then after that, depending how brave i feel, I am thinking about knitting a sweater for me or him... we won't grow out of it before it fits!
