Baking and Making

Friday was a SNOW DAY here in town, so Korby and I decided to do some baking. We always make goodies to take to the neighbors around Christmas time. This way we can have some for here, but not so many that I cant breathe when I put my jeans on.:)
I was looking for a good sugar cookie recipe and decided to call my Aunt Pat in California. She emailed me this recipe. She said I could share, so here you go:

From Pat's Kitchen
Sugar Cookies
Mix Together:
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
1 egg (beaten)
Add:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
1/2 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
Roll into balls the size of a walnut
Roll in a bowl of decorative sugar of your choice
Flatten with at glass and place on a cookie sheet
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

These turned out wonderful! Nice and light, with a yummy taste. I highly recommend trying it.

Thanks Aunt Pat!

Remember last week when I asked if what I was doing on the loom was really knitting? That was about 9 days ago. Ive been busy and I'm great at procrastinating. Well it was going good, until I noticed a mistake that would take me way to long to do over. So I decided to move on to the brim instructions and finish off a small hat. I figured I could use some practice. I finished the small hat that has a very ugly spot on the backside. Even though it is too small for any heads around here, I had everyone pose for the camera with the hat on. Now that I have tried once I dove right into making another hat. I promise to show you all when its done.

So hats off to my family for trying on my hat that was too small for everyone!

They are troopers!
