Today we did have to make up a batch of cookies for a belated Christmas present to go with one of the ornaments I made. I tried substituting the Crisco with real butter and using whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour. It came out pretty darn good. I think I have holiday guilt from indulging in all the candy and cookies so I was trying to make the cookies a smidgen better. Seth was a serious fan.
(Dan took these pictures for me. The second one has an odd angle to it but I love the grin on his face.)I have also made some progress on the Chocolate quilt. I am quite pleased with the results so far.
Let's see, I sewed a blanket stitch around the edge of the circles. I had decided on using the same thread color to hopefully show consistency.
Next I quartered them. It's very nice that my ruler is 8.5" wide.
I put a few blocks up on the design wall to get a feel for how it'll look. I like it. Do you?

Excellent photos of Seth - what would life be without licking the beaters?
I love the quilt!
And calm... calm is good. Must be nice! :)
Great pic of Seth ~ I have said it before and I'll say it again... You have the most photogenic (read: cute!) kids! :)
Thank you all. I do think I have cute kids but as I've said before I am a bit biased.
Mom- I loved licking the beaters and cleaning out the bowl when I was a kid. I must pass on the tradition.
I will keep plugging away at the quilt. It's gonna be big so it'll be slow going.
Adorable picture of Seth. The quilt is interesting... Of course, I forgot to send you my first quilt project inspired by you..... I am afraid it is not worth the $3 to ship :) I will give it to you next time you come out...
