Last weekend I waxed poetic about Christmas cards...more specifically, the lack of Christmas cards coming from my mailbox. I think I am about over it now, so I spent the last few days immersed in the sights and smells of Christmas gingerbread! From baking the pieces. . .
. . .to assembling the"tools" I would need. . .
. . .to crushing the first candies, preparing to melt them into. . .
. . .stained "glass" windowpanes. . .
. . .to decorating and assembling the walls. . .
. . .and carefully placing the roof. . .
. . .to get both sides on "just so" takes patience and a steady hand!
What's the most important part? Taste test!
All that hard work. . .and tasting. . .
Then it's time to knit!
(The password is KNITTINGFORCHRISTMAS. Shhhhh!)
I hope your holiday surprises are good and pretty and tasty!
Thanks for stopping by, and Knit (secretly) in Good Health!
Too cute! Looks like a superfun time!

ReplyDeleteI saw some ice cream cones the other day and thought, those would make great turrets on a gingerbread castle... (Haven't actually gotten past the cool new idea stage.)
