Goodbye, Christmas

 

I am finally watching the Call the Midwife Christmas Special (as I take down the Christmas tree).

Juniper Bonnet

I finished this Fox&Folk Juniper Bonnet without lace (for a recently born baby boy parishioner) in early January, but only just blocked it. We had nothing that resembled a baby's head to let the wet bonnet dry in the correct size and shape, so my daughter and I fashioned a hand towel and rubber bands into a head. It worked well!

Gingerbread Beauties

My Aunt Susan gave me these gorgeous gingerbread tile cookies when I saw her at Christmas. They are pretty and tasty! Thank you, Auntie Susie!
