One of which was a cookbook for church. I gathered recipes from members and former members of our little Cairo branch. The theme was suppose to be foods you use to celebrate. Any kind of celebration. The cook book turned out quite nice even if I say so myself. Plus one Sister gave me the recipes from an old candy cookbook the branch had done in the late 70's early 80's.She gave me a copy of the cover for it as well. I put those recipes in as their own section. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I was able to laminate the cover and bind the book thanks to an old friend who sent me an early Christmas present, a binding machine and a laminating machine, so I could "do it right". The cook book looked so nice that I kind of want to do another one for my family. But that is crazy talk right now.Kim and a friend managed to get some deer. Killian and Perigrine managed to get it all cut up and in the freezer. We went heavy on stew meat. Tatianna finished up classes for the semester and is busy working. She has managed to get all the presents, we need to mail wrapped and boxed for mailing. But because of delays in things arriving, it looks like the presents will arrive the day after Christmas. Oh well, it just draws out the fun another day.
This past week, All of us in our house have been sick, despite getting flu shots. I am feeling a little better. Others are taking longer to recover. We did a lot of sleeping this week. But that is over now. We all need to be back at work in the morning.
Once I get the studio back in shape I need to get moving on a baby quilt. But that will have to wait for the week after Christmas. This week it's baking, candy making and decorating. Maybe I am over scheduled? Perigrine is going to have to pick up a lot of slack.
I hope my machines will forgive the neglect. Have you been able to keep your machines humming? Or did yours end up on sabbatical for the holidays like mine?
