Christmas Cheer

Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year.




Recipe: Really Awesome Cookies (as named by myself)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips (though it's recommended you put in more)
  • opt. 1/2 c. chopped pecans
  • a beater
Okay, yule need to place the egg white in a small mixing bowl, and let it stand at room temperature for thirty minutes. Then beat the egg white on medium speed until soft peaks form . Gradually beat in the sugar 1T at a time on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2" apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 250° for 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn oven off, and let cookies dry in the oven for 1½ hours. Carefully remove cookies from parchment paper. Store in airtight container. Yield: about 1½ dozen.


I knitted a scarf for my Grandma. Apparently her friends all compliment her when she wears scarves by Sammie. I must admit they are pretty darling ;)

I used this beaded garland and a few pendants to primp this chandelier.




Tiny poinsettias.

Our beastly tree.
