gingerbread folks

it's cookie time at the bakery, and i think my favorites are the gingerbread folks-yuuuuuummy!!

no, that's not me in the second picture. that's mrs. claus, although i feel like if i wore a white wig i could maybe pass for her...(i've been eating a few too many gingerbreads i think!!)  i would totally wear that dress though!

what are your favorite christmas cookies?????

up on the rooftop reindeer pause...

i do love deer, especially vintage-y deer. gives me one more thing to collect! i did a bit of christmas decorating this weekend , visited an alpaca farm(my photos were disappointing...), and knit, knit, knit.

lots of christmas-y goodness coming up this week, so stay tuned!

today

thinking today of the families in connecticutt who lost loved ones........so, so sad.

great music, yo!

i just wanted to tell you about this band that i LOVE!!!!!!! have you heard alt-J? i think they're kind of  a mix of radiohead. a bit of gorillaz, maybe some bon iver...beautiful, dreamy melodies with some heavy bass lines, a little hip-hop sometimes. anyway! give it a listen!

just took rosco for a walk. put on my hat and mittens and bundled rosco up in his little striped sweater.  lots of times i just do not feel like going for a walk after work, but i'm always glad  when we do. we usually see something interesting. tonight, a beautiful red sunset, two v's of geese, and jupiter rising in the eastern sky. (thanks dad for the astronomical information!)

we got three eggs today! wow! i don't know the last time all three girls layed. i have two who are fairly regular in the summer and one who has been taking it easy for a while now, so i was quite surprised with three eggs! yes, i have an exciting life.....

working on a few garlands for orders, then i have to finish up a couple surprise projects. after christmas i'm going to try to finish two quilts, both of which are 2/3's finished(the piecing, anyway).

12/12/12!!!!!!!!!!!!!
