Knitwith Homespun

This is a tribute to my good friend Jacqui who I love to death! Thanks Jacqui! She sent me this today and though I refuse to forward e-mails, I see no reason why I can’t post it on my blog since I don’t write anything original anymore.

Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies

1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup or brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add one peastoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another cup just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit off the floor.

Mix on the turner.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters just pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who geeves a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.

Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.

Don’t forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the wishdasher.

Cherry Mistmas !

This is too funny to not post. I must be too tired. What’s the problem with these? Did I notice it as I was knitting? Yes. Did I kitchener stitch the thumb anyway? Yes I did. Why? I don’t know!!!!

This picture is in focus and the other picture shows the actual size of the thumb for this mitten on the ruler. Laugh all day people! It is very funny!

If anyone still checks my blogs, I am back. Somewhat ayway. To make a long story short, I started therapy with a very nice therapist. Frankly, I was dealing with some lifelong issues that came to a head last year with my mom. I got depressed about it and lost a whole bunch of weight (about 50 pounds so far). I told myself that I would deal with it when I was done losing my weight but my good friend and therapist told me my grace period was up. It had been a year since the incident with my mom and I had to address it or it would affect my own daughter and family too much. This is what I did. It was very difficult but worth it in the long run. I haven’t been doing any of my normal lifetime stuff like taking pictures or knitting or anything. I feel like getting back into all that so I suppose that is a good thing. I have missed you all and I hope I still have a reader or two.

On to more pleasant things: I would love to discuss some Christmas crafting but since so many of my recipients are not on Facebook and other online places that attach to my blog, I can’t do a lot of it. However, I am working on one I can totally share. I will take some pictures tomorrow but I am knitting a wrap for my mother in law (she can’t even turn on a computer) from merino/bamboo that I ordered way back in March. I am thrilled with how the yarn came out and now the knitting is looking lovely as well.

I have a couple of woven objects that I would love to talk about but I can’t. I can say, however, that my first and second objects made on my Kromski Harp have really turned out nicely. I can’t wait to do my after Christmas blogs to show you all. I am proud and pleased.

I firmly believe in having a photo in every blog post. My dilemma is that I haven’t been taking any pictures, so I have to go all the way back to Halloween to get a shot of Bella to show you all. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before you hear from me again. Happy Holidays all!
