Apple Pie and Christmas Decorations

I though my Apple Pie "adventure" went pretty well, It was almost gone by the end of Thanksgiving! It did take me along time, though. But that was because I did everything from scratch. Take a look:

Apple Pie- the applesApple Pie- before bakingApple Pie-  Blue LeafApple PieApple Pie- almost gone!

I dyed the small bit of dough that was left over, and used a cookie cutter to make a leaf shape. I thought it looked pretty, what do you think? and it tasted fabulous.

Over the weekend, we got the Christmas decorations up. This is only a small percentage of all the cute Christmas stuff we have!

I also made two different Christmas tree amigurumi with my own patterns.

And this time I'm sharing with you! Take a look at my pattern and give me some feedback! (the pattern is for the smaller one with the stump) It's my first pattern, after all. :]

  7. Thanks! What a doll you are for finding the weather thing I need. I'll check it out and sing out if I need help getting it on the blog.

    I'd LOVE you to make a button for me...I really have no clue how to do that.

  8. Sooooooooo excited. The weather thingy you left was easy, fast and it works. I tried to add several directly from blogger gadget and one after another didn't work. Then one appeared to, but was wayyyyyyy to complex and complicated for me.

    Thanks!

  9. Congratulations on your first pattern. It must be quite difficult for you to make 3D amigurumi pattern! The trees are sooo cute.
    The apple pie looks absolutely yummy! I am getting so hungry. It must be getting very Christmasy over there. The centre of London is getting very bright with Christmas lighting and it is very exciting. Have a great week! :D

  11. That pie must have been delicious!! I'm getting hungry just looking at it.

    And your photos of your Christmas decorations are wonderful--and so are you Christmas tree creations. I like how one is leaning on the other, it makes them look like people almost :)

  12. Muchas Gracias! Thanks for adding the directions on the button, you've made it very clear and straight forward.

    I did the save to computer, browse method, but having it all right there is super!

    This is getting exciting, more members have joined, I'm seeing the button on several blogs, a few yesterday and now with your directions more...yippee!!!

    Soon to work...have a great day

  13. Forgot, had a question for you since you're far more techy than me. Any ideas why my profile shows up on my regular page, but not my new Bridge page? I've checked the settings where you add the gadget stuff and it says already added, so I'm not able to click on it to add again? I think it was there intiially, when I first got the page going...prior to getting things added.

    Thanks
    Sandy
