Here are a few yummies that helped us ring in the new year sweetly!
Cider for toasting.
Homemade peppermint bark!
Homemade Oreo & creme cheese bon bons.
Very similar to
these but I didn't use that peticular recepie. I used a recepie my mom gave me over the phone.
These turned out SO good!
And the best taffy EVER!! Its Eggnog flavored! Mmm mmm good!
And we can't forget great games played with Trent's family late into the night! what a fun time!
Oh and here is a snippet of our new years morning aftermath! Santa was feeling "piratey" this year, he brought dress ups, chocolate gold pieces and more!! Maybe it's because he has a bit of piratey'nes in him already!
This is a drawing I did a few years ago. My favorite part is the candy cane hook. :)
Yes that's right, Santa comes to our house on New Years Eve. (Read
this post for the whole story.) WEll we've had a great holiday and all I can say is, we're ready for our long winters nap.
I made this new top for my daughter this past week and I love how it turned out. I actually used a pattern this time! :) I have always had a hard time figuring them out till now! I feel liberated yippee! I used a thrifted vintage night gown pattern, went for the shorter nighty option and swapped out the matching panties for leggings. Super cute I think!

This is an apron I made a while ago and it was too big for my daughter, so I put it away for a few years. I got it out yesterday and it finally fit her but somehow it had been ripped. I appliqued a felt flower to patch the rip.
I think it turned out really cute! I love it so much now that I think I'm going to make matching pants so it can be an apron dress. Happy new year!!
We did it! It took lots of taping and cutting, and cutting and stapling, and cutting, but we did it! Buddy the elf would be proud. We feel quite festive when we go in this room.
This year I knew just what I wanted to get my husband as a gift! I am really happy with how it all looks together. (Even though that one painting is crooked.) :) I added the "belly button" to the white pillow for an extra touch!
