A baker’s life for me!

I have finished my Christmas knitting, what little there was of it this year. I have found that the desire to knit decreases exponentially to the increase in the number of hours I work in a day.

I will have my Christmas shopping done today.

I did my Christmas baking yesterday, and I thought I would share the recipe with you. These cookies are so incredibly delicious. I stumbled across them while searching for a molasses cookie recipe. The recipe is very simple – with just a few steps – but it makes a decadently rich and chewy cookie.

When you need a little Christmas…

I cannot believe that Christmas will be here in less than one week. I have been in desperate need of a little Christmas – or at least one of Santa’s elves to make an appearance in my home, and work a bit of Christmas Magic! Alas, no elves have appeared but last weekend Sam did go with me to get a tree.

Slowly, over the week, I placed ornaments on the tree. However, trimming a tree sans little children is just not quite the same.

Roses in winter…

After a long day of work, this amazing and glorious sunset greeted me as I traveled home.

I hurried home to get my camera and snap a couple of pictures.
It was worth standing outside in the bitter cold wind to bask in the rosy glow, even if it was only for a few brief moments.

While standing in the wintry silence, I could hear a song in my head – something I had sung in choir a very long time ago…

The words seemed most appropriate for this photo.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Christmas time is here…

Happiness and cheer, fun for all that children call their favorite time of the year…

Things have been quiet around Casa del KatKnits recently because I have found gainful, and very rewarding, employment.

If you are still here, reading this post, I am thankful for you!

I spent the weekend trying to pull something Holiday-ish out to create a festive spirit.

And, I loaded my iPod with all my Christmas music.

It is doing the trick… I am getting in the holiday spirit.

I hope you are too!
