Binding on..............


The binding is finished on 3 of the 4 Christmas table runners, two shown here.  The largest one is left to do.

There wasn't much to take photos of yesterday.  I did a load of laundry and went grocery shopping.  I ran totally out of sugar making one last batch of Norwegian Kringlas yesterday.  So far I have used 4 1/2 pounds of butter (Land o' Lakes) and 4 pounds of sugar in all of my baking.   I think I'm done baking....but I'm never sure.  I have a good assortment of snack size bags of treats in the freezer.

What lucky recipients of your butter and sugar treats! I made dough for sugar cookies and Danish kringle last night.

I may have gained a couple of pounds reading this post. Having snack size bags in the freezer is a good idea.

The table runners are beautiful! I think my family is coming the 29th for Christmas so I won't make or bake much for a few more days. Butter was on sale here 2 for $7.00 again so I bought a few more pounds. One can never have too much butter!

WOW--lotsa butter and sugar--I'll bet your treats are just delish!! Nothing like real butter...;))) I will make my brownies today and decided on a banana cream pie...then two casseroles to be made...
then I'll be done with baking...
Only 6 degrees when we went to grocery this morning...bitterly
cold out there...thankfully not much wind though...
I hope your Christmas is a wonderful one;))) Hugs, Julierose

Good thing your freezer full of goodies is far away . . . else I'd be tempted to stop by for a treat (grin). LOVELY runners - there are so many different fabrics to look at.

we do go through a lot of sugar, butter and flour when we bake - I still have plenty left but I bought too much to begin with.

I went to the library yesterday to pick up some books on hold -- and came back with four cookbooks, all baking, from the new book shelf!

Your binding frames your table runners so beautifully. And what a busy Sunday for everyone it sounds like. Here too, the days aren’t long enough for me anymore.

I made your English Toffee this morning. I sat it on the porch to cool (around 50° here.). Enjoy the family.

Your Christmas table runners are lovely and well done in getting all that baking and mixing finished. You're way ahead of me.

Hugs!
