Thanks Cindy, we had to have them there in time for their party day in early Dec. Now I have to get busy on my own stuff. I am not sure I can afford this new longarm either, but I already have someone wanting to commission me to make a king size quilt. I figure if I can do a quilt or 2 a month, I will be able to pay it off without any problem.

We have 15 F here in East Gybip and quite windy. I haven't checked to see the weather forecast. I would just as soon not know.:D

I had better get the Irish Cream out to warm myself up from the inside. I don't drink coffee, so will just drink it plain.

Gonna have to jump on my super duper deluxe & join you! Warming up from the inside is definitely in order today!

ohhhh yeah.........will be ready when the time comes!!!!!

EWWWWWWWWW! I don't do EGGNOG! I will just have to suffer with the Coconut rum in my Hot chocolate and Smores and chocolate covered wormies and sugar cookies and cheesesake..................... Oh wow! I can feel my butt growing, hehehehehe!

That all sure sounds yummy to me...but I sure don't need a bigger butt...plenty too big already.:o

Hey, I need a bubble butt as a floatation device for my Super Delux, LOLOLOLOL! They require them when you ride an airplane! SAFETY FIRST! Bring on the goodies! hehehehe

You girls are good....I completely forgot that until I read this...
Although....the fact that we remember this.........?

Working on a donation quilt for someone in Washington, IL that lost everything in the tornado. I miscalculated when cutting and the twin/full quilt grew to a queen size. FM a queen size, on a mid arm machine is not fun...so, just too busy to stay and chat.

Sorry you are so busy. You opened your package already? You'll miss the fun of all of us opening our at the same time. But each to their own.

and it would be CHEECH and Chong....I am wrong so much it should be my middle name. Lol.

I thought waiting until 'reveal' day, was part of the Secret Santa Swap rules.

Okay everyone... I'm headed for the hole with the Pecan Tassies I baked yesterday... each one like a scrumptious mini pecan pie... anybody care to partake?

Oh! Oh! ME! :::::::tripping over everything in path::::::::: Pleeeeeease, I'd like so much, to help you 'take care of' those!!! :p~~~ <-- drooling

I knew I could count on you, my friend!

Think it could be sent to Canada ok?!? It sounds soooooo yummy!!!! I would love to partake!!!!!!!! :)

Go gran go gran go gran!!!!! You make me feel so proud. I'll miss your snicker doodles but I will just keep on eating the virtual ones I've been enjoying.

hurry ...it`s going fast....even put a fudge icing on it....yummy.....

that too but i was trying to be tactful

No sewing for me today, I did get to finish the socks I was knitting, and a lot of cleaning!! Having my parents and youngest brother and fiancee for Thanksgiving on Thursday so must get the house clean and have to hide all my fabric.
My Package is not going to get stashed, for the day I will keep it right next to my chair, must keep it happy. I have some red wine is there any cake left???

OH Yes..it's Tassies time again - every year I bake about 50 dozen to give a gifts to folks who wait all year for them. Thank GOODNESS for the Pampered Chef tassie cup molder stick I got 2 years ago !! It was agony when I had to push the dough into the tins with my thumbs !!!

What are tassies? I've not heard of them?

HELP!!!!!!!! people have found out I am sewing for Christmas. Now I cant get my stuff done but one good thing my ss box got sent hope she really likes the stuff I put in there its a very heavy box. I haven't got my box just yet but I am sure that's a good thing it would drive me nutty not to get to open it.

OMG I want to say I am so sorry to my SS I forgot to wrap my inside presents. I was in and out of the hospital so my mind wasn't working way back then.

Morning all! After a quick peek out the window, am glad I don't have to go anywhere today. Ice is hanging off of just about everything outside! Our high today is only supposed to be 34 degrees. Gonna be in the 20's for lows most of the week also, with not much warm up til after Thanksgiving. It's ok, I have pumpkin pie to bake & other things to keep the oven going to help with the warmth in the house. Think we'll have baked acorn squash tonight with something else. When I need a break, I'll just pop into the hole for some libations!

Today's hint: your town isn't as big as a city, but you do have an airport.

Yes what are Tassies and snicker doodles!do they have recipes? must try them out!

I also love them tassies and make them every year and like you PenniF I am so very thankful I purchased those Pampered Chef molders and I have 2 of them. They are sure a time saver. For those of you who have not made tassies before, you are missing out. Better get the recipe for they are so yummy.
Pat

1 tablespoon melted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup Karo syrup - i use half dark and half light
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Mix together all incredients in order.
TO MAKE -- roll dough into about 1 inch balls - roll balls in granulated sugar - put each into mini muffin tin and press to form a little "cup" of dough. Add filling - about 1/2 to 2/3 full
BAKE in preheated 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes -- remove from pan immediately.(they should pop right out)

Yummy!!! Those cookies are for those of us in the hole, right? :) :thumbup:

Your cookies look amazing, you have been very busy. I have been trying to catch up on everyone's posts, read back about 7-8 pages, it's hard to keep up. We were without power for a couple of days and I have been busy making a dozen thread catchers for my girlfriends when we get together for our cookie swap in Dec. And I'm busy making a couple of things for my son-to-be new grandson's shower on Dec. 7 so I haven't been on the computer much. Looks like everyone is having fun. I've done a little of looking around trying to figure out who my secret santa is but with no luck. Anyway, that darn box is driving me nuts, even though I am super busy that box is like a bug sitting on my shoulder!

Wow Very impressive & they really look yummy. I'll be making some tomorrow Thanks for the recipe...I'm off to bed now Goodnight.
