Welcome to the Ginger-Hood!

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!
After the initial icing and assembly, it's time to gather the girls for the decorating!
What's the most important part?  Taste test!
It is a process. . .concentration and a steady hand are required. . .
 . . .and more tasting!
Yummmmm!!!
All that hard work. . .and tasting. . .
Sure pay off in PRETTY!!!

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!

  2. Cute!

    I 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.)
