"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love" - Hamilton Wright Mabie
This year my family and I made two types of Christmas cookies, both new recipes for us, and they came out beautifully - I heartily recommend them.
The Peppermint Macaroons (see previous post for recipe) came out beautifully, and is sure to be a family favorite year after year.
The Orange Shortbread dipped in Chocolate is very tasty, and also sure to become a family favorite. The recipe we used comes from Fine Cooking magazine. To make the orange shortbread, add a tablespoon of orange zest when you add the vanilla extract.
Now for a knitting update: the vintage 1970's Patons Pram Set is finished, and had been shipped to the family who commissioned it. This was a delightful project to work on - just challenging enough to keep me interested, yet straightforward and simple enough that I didn't get too frazzled while working on it.

If anyone is interested, I do knit on commission, and would be delighted to make this to order. Price is US$100, ships only within the U.S.
