Sewing, baking...........

I started sewing the Kaffe 16 patch quilt top.  I will be able to clip off the top and bottom rows to try an insert strip.  As soon as I get it sewn I can take some photos downstairs where I have better lighting.




I finally baked my first batch of cookies.  I have a few people I always give a variety to for Christmas so I'll be baking every day and maybe twice a day for the rest of this week.




The champagne color cactus I bought this year is still blooming.  I think there is one more bud that shows promise and then the rest of them will dry up and fall off.





I bought 2 of them last year because several of my older ones had died.  This one is starting to bloom now but the other one doesn't even have buds on it yet.  I think the other one is the champagne color.

I really have to get busy daily making the cookies I normally bake too - I always make them for us and Melanie giving her a some of all - she never has time for baking with working every day and making supper when she gets home - time is getting away from me as I just hadn't been in the mood for it but now I think I am

They had a huge display of Christmas Cacti at the grocery store last week - I was sorely tempted but resisted as I don't have a good place for them to live during the non-blooming season. I shall continue to enjoy yours vicariously. They're beautiful.
