As promised, here is a picture of the basket I made from this year's holiday cards:
While I was blanket stitching around the pieces, I kept having a sense of deja vu. I know I haven't made one of these before, but it felt so familiar. (Could it be the mysterious D.A. vibe again? Naaaawwhh - can you really imagine Lady Mary making one of these?) Anyway, I think it turned out to be something cute and I got the idea for it and the snowflake thingy (see previous post)
here. I'd like to try one of the burlap wreaths they show in their December/January issue.
This afternoon I plan to make Orecchiette with Sausage, a recipe from an
ancient issue of
Tastes of Italia magazine (I think November 2006 qualifies for ancient). It looks pretty simple to make and the husband deserves a nice dinner since he was back to school this morning and I have the next 8 weeks off with my foot. I haven't attempted home made pasta, but this looks like I can do it with minimal time on my feet...
