Christmas Ornaments / Baking

I have been wanting to do...
create for weeks while
dealing with this fatique issue but
not having the ump to do it...

But last night I decided I needed
to do something and since
I still have ornaments to make
for the family I decided to work 
on them.

I had done one for my brother Ray but
decided I did not like it so I did
another one...
and somehow loading it on fb
I ended up labeling it this way..haha 

Made my great nephews also.


Yesterday I also got a wild hair 
and decided to bake.

Tomato Basil Bread.



And orange flavored choc chip cookies.


Bread is good. It called for crushed
pepper flakes to be added..
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon and I added
a WHOLE, filled 1/4 teaspoon...

The cookies were a flop as far as
I am concerned. Too cakey and not
cookie like. Can't really get 
the orange taste either.

Back to yesterdays post...this
is cute.
More than I would do but
cute just the same.

I haven't been able to get myself to be crafty for a while now. I've wanted to but can't get going.
Your ornaments look great

Love those Christmas ornaments - I bet your family really appreciate them. The cookies look great. I don't think I'd mind them being "cakey"! Hope the bread wasn't too "peppery"!

I'm curious. Did you paint over the ornament with which you weren't happy? You're so creative. Sorry about the cookies. I have to admit, the cookies really didn't sound good to me. I like fruit with chocolate, to be sure, but what doesn't appeal is adding the cookie component (or cake, I guess, in this case ~shakes head~). That bread sounds delicious! Hope you are having a good day, my dear.

Christmas will be here before we can blink, time is just fleeing way to fast for us.. I don't like cakey cookies either.. or orange taste in food, or lemon pepper chicken. I bought one by accident when I meant to get regular rotissire and bob had to eat it. I could not stand the taste..

Are orange chocolate chip cookies anything like pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? Did you use the zest of the orange? It's probably better that they didn't come out ;)

The orange chocolate chip cookies do look good, Pam. But there's nothing like Toll House cookies. That's wonderful that you're starting to make Christmas ornaments for your family and getting an early start. I love that floral wall. The pink and blue go well together, so pretty.

Feel better, my friend.

I ate two of those cookies. I can't think about Christmas anything quite yet.

Have a fabulous day. Scritches to Dakota and Lily. ♥

Christmas is early at your place. I am glad I do not have to think about it any more. No children and our only nephew is in his late 20's now and lives on the other side of the world in Ozz so he just gets a cheque. If we want a gift we buy something for the two of us that we need, sometimes a holiday which is great. Take care Diane

Hope you are feeling better Pam with your strength. Bless your heart. I can imagine the battle there. Well, your crafts look great. My two oldest granddaughters drug out Nana's craft box and done a little crafting last Sunday evening. I have a project in mind that I would like to do with the grandgirls. I just have to make the time. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

With Christmas just around the corner (sort of!) it's never too early to be thinking of Christmas ornaments!

Take care, my good wishes.

All the best Jan

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
