They look like Christmas trees don't they?
I was successful with my cookie gun this year. 
I filled the gun with pre made Pillsbury 
sugar cookie dough and it worked. 
I cut the mess in half at least! 

This leaves more time for knitting…..

I have wrapped the cookies in packing tape and 
they are in the freezer.  Can I leave them alone until the 24th?

I'm going to make cranberry cookies also. 
I cheat with them too.
 I use a cranberry muffin mix and add
 a stick of butter and an egg for the dough.


I don't have any knit progress to show. 
I worked last night. 
My goodness Newborns sure cry a lot. 
When I wasn't busy admitting I was 
picking up babies and getting them to shush and hush. 
Silent Night? 
Jesus must have been a very good baby….

Mmmm butter cookies. Mmm sugar cookies. Mmm cookies. Must make some cookies, soon. You have got my hamster wheels turning. The Kid has a soccer tourney in the South Bay this weekend. I hear if I love him I will make the team favorite cookies.

A newborn's cry is distinctive and heart-wrenching.

Your cranberry cookie "recipe" sounds intriguing.

I love rolled sugar cookies with powdered sugar icing and sprinkles.

You make me want to get another cookie press! The old one croaked some time ago. What is there about a new baby cry and when does it change? The hymn never says how long "calm" lasted. LOL

I hope you are having sweet dreams, Kathy. Thank you for caring for the little ones. My mom always made cookie press cookies, and I have made a few myself...butter shortbread with almond flavoring, but your cranberry recipe sounds yummy, too. Thanks for sharing :) I am crocheting some little wreaths on plastic rings for ornaments to give away.

Your sugar cookies look yummy! I'm going to make cookies and more panettone as soon as I recover from the dental surgery. Isn't this a fun time of the year!!

I have seldom seen a quiet newborn. All of mine would loud criers from the beginning. It's what babies do best. You are angel nurse, giving those new little people so much love and comfort!!

Yummy!
Too funny about the newborns. This time last year, we had a newborn grandbaby and I miss him being so tiny.

Oh I am so hungry for Christmas cookies. I guess I'll have to break down and make some this week. Then I'll eat them all. Oh well, that's what holidays are for, right?

What kind of cookie press do you have? Mine won't handle commercial dough. :(

Did I already tell you I'm thinking this is a fudge-only Christmas, just because something has to give and it won't be my sleep-time this year?

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
