Homemade potstickers

I tried making these last night. Total pain. But they tasted pretty
yummy. Next time I'll either find a pasta roller to use, or buy
premade wrappers cuz the dough was a little thick and became kinda
gummy at times.

I posted another post right before this, since I can only post 1
picture per post ;)

Quilt for Clara

It's a dark picture, and Mollie wouldy move from the bed, but here it
is. She's getting it for Christmas and think it's going to Grammy ;).
It's a lapquilt, but perfect for Clara

The Nutcracker

Here's my little snowball for the second year in a row. I love the
performances twice a year, but I'm exhausted from today and yesterday!

Gift bags

I'm making a few of these little drawstring origami bags for Christmas
presents. Fill with goodies or a small present and I'll be set.

Baking

I finally decided to attempt soft pretzels. I got this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It was pretty easy to follow, and over all took a couple of hours, but most of that was proofing time for the dough. They turned out yummy and salty and warm--so good!

Some new sites I've been enjoying are: Smitten Kitchen, Color Chic, and Sew Mama Sew. I don't know how many recipes and tutorials I've printed out. Now to actually make some of this stuff!
