Baking for today is DONE!

My first try to make donuts.

got the recipe from here:http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/154591067936509/Donuts.html

 

 As you can see I love sugar and cinnamon, baked for 15 minutes and they taste really good!

I love these rustic rolls, same dough as I use for my Baguette.

Last two weeks finished projects

 These are my socks,the cuff is just perfect and I`m sure i will make a few more this way!

 I used leftover yarn to make the two hats to be donated.

Another scarf for donations done!

 three kind of leftover yarns made the scarf, I did not even realize it would go so well with a jacket my mom sent last year and also was surprised it turned out to be so long.

 

This is all for today. Now I have to work some more on Nicki Lee`s snowball!

New sweater for Lucy

 This is the top as you can see I had to add this crochet snowflake, if you knew Lucy you would agree it was fitting for her .

 The turquoise yarn has a sparkle metallic yarn in it

 here you can see the sparkle

My friend Doris bought the yarn and I had the pleasure to knit . Hope to get a picture where she is wearing it.

Last one for tonight

This is my favorite cookie, love the butter /almond flavor with seedless raspberry jam.This picture was taken before I tasted them!

Here they are

 Hazelnut macaroons, wish I had some whole nuts to decorate with but I`m just happy that my friends and family supply me with all the ingredients to bake.

Evening Sky

I was just out on my deck the evening sky was just to beautiful to be ignored.

Yesterdays findings and bad news

The plan was to bake these today but my dad just called to let me know my mom had a stroke last night and I`m just not in the mood anymore.

I gave in and bought more storage to post pictures

 

 No Thanksgiving without Corn muffins in our house

 I made this Pumpkin layered cake and it was Yummy

 It was breaking before I was even able to roll it, so I just baked another one and stacked it.

 Leftover Breakfast, I used a little liqueur instead of vanilla sugar!

So now we are back to posting again.

Thanksgiving is come and gone

I been having problems with posting pictures for the last three days and as I found out it is some kind of storage problem and other people have been getting this same message so I will just wait and give it a few days to work out and hope it will be over soon ,I have so much to show!

Done for tonight

Last one for tonight just fresh out of the oven baguette and cake.

Just waiting now for the bread and Peach Streussel Cake to cool ,Whip cream is ready and I will have my Sunday night dessert .Now  I can work some more on my knitting project.
