Christmas Dinner Photos Found

Well Friends, I had intentions of sharing our Christmas tradition of a Stuffed Shell dinner with you.  Then I never got the pictures off of the camera and forgot all about it.

Well, I just uploaded pictures I took of some booties I made (coming soon) and there they were.  So, I thought, well I'm just going to share them anyway. 

Now I know that Stuffed Shells are not a traditional Christmas meal, but I served them one year, and my boys insisted that they were so good they should be served EVERY year.  So they have.  Probably for the last 5 years at least.

First comes the table pictures:

Then the food:

 The strange color of the pie is due to the fact

that we used real pumpkin, not canned.

My #2 son had saved his from Halloween

so that we could make a pumpkin pie from it.

From the can is much easier!

Either way, they think it is tasty.

I, myself, do not care for pumpkin pie.

 These are potato bread rolls.

The only thing to say about this is:

YUM!!!

Christmas Snowflakes

Some Christmas gifts for tree decor:

I used hook size 7 and thread size 10.

I tried a couple with white thread with sparkly silver intertwined.

I liked that!

Made from patterns in Leisure Arts Leaflets #255 and #363.

If you want to look at the designs of 255, they are displayed on the cover found at the link below.
