Photos of Holiday Things
First all the slippers I made this year.
The chunky clogs came out pretty nice and I think they were well liked by the recipient.
My HB got these felted slippers. The sizing was good but the two layers do not like to stick together and they shift and slide around. Fiddling with them is required before he will wear them for real. :P
The fluffy bunny slippers came out a little big but she can grow into them. And so cute!
I made a big dinner for all of us. I roasted some chickens (this is the time of year when my vegetarian household binges on meat) and made butternut squash and rice pasties.
I was very happy with this scrumptious puzzle I received and have been spending hours doing it. I love puzzles!
I also got a great fashion plate book.
As well as several novels and a copy of How To Be A Victorian.
I am very skeptical of pseudo-history books like this, but this one looked good and everyone I know is reading it, so I put it on my list and my sister picked it up for me. Looking forward to it.
One other gift I am really pleased with is a new perfume from Love and Toast. I find most perfumes cloying and horrible and headache-inducing, but these are natural and mild and lovely. Last year I got the Paper Flower scent and this year I got the Sugar Grapefruit. Yum!

And seeing the rice pasties on your Christmas table gave a big smile on my face. :)

Everyone in my family is addicted to rice pasties now. I told my daughter that if we lived in Finland we could eat them all the time and she was like "wow, I wish we lived in Finland." Thank you so much for the recipe!

I am already getting immersed - it is hard to put down!
