I had leftover yarn from making this hat that I showed you previously so thought I might as well use it up and made another of the scarves to go along with it...
If you want the scarf pattern, I posted it HERE.
And the latest thing to come out of Resident Chef's kitchen (he and his new Kitchenaid are very busy!)...
These are called Martha Washington candies and the recipe can be found HERE.

Today the quote is by Leo Buscaglia..."Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?". To that there is an answer.
Very nice, and the candies as well
ReplyDeleteOrnament ideas are great to have!
The candies are definitely good. I sampled one and the rest are in the freezer for gifting.
DeleteLovely scarves to accompany your hats...nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteSherry of createology: You certainly have will power…sampling only one candy! Poor RC would have to make another batch if I were there. Haha So many great gift ideas and easy enough to make them theme appropriate for any occasions. Nice quote if only it could be put into action by everyone on this planet. Blessings Dear.
ReplyDeleteCandy is a nice gift. Also you don't have to dust it.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Consumable gifts are sometimes the best kind.
DeleteHmmm resident chef is certainly enjoying his new toy!! And you must be enjoying the fruits of his labor!! Looks delicious :) xx
ReplyDeleteYes, he's enjoying it - perhaps TOO much! The freezer is full and he's still wanting to make more.
DeleteOhhhh, those candies look awesome.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I must admit they ARE good but I must remember they're for Christmas giving and not for me to pig out upon.
DeleteLove your additional scarf Mary Anne and those candies look delicious! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! Wish I could send you a candy to taste test!!
DeleteMe too! I would enjoy that! Hugs xx
DeleteYou always do the best research of what is out there to delight! The Mason jar gifts are inspiring me to get creative!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.

Glad you enjoy the links Wren because I sure have fun searching for them.
DeleteYou are such a wiz with those needles. I'm very tempted to make that candy if only I were still working and could bring it in to share. Thanks for all the links too. I've pinned a few ideas.
ReplyDeleteI spent pretty much every evening in front of the tv knitting so manage to get quite a bit done. As for the chocolates - they're going into gift giving with only a few saved for us to sample over the winter.
DeleteLovely colour hat and scarf, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh my, he certainly has been busy! I think I would be the only ones enjoying that treat if I made it here.
I hope our daughter-in-love will like the set. If not I'm pretty sure she'll enjoy some of the chocolates!
