Merry Christmas 2012!

I hope all of you have a most wonderful Christmas. We are having a blast visiting our brothers and their families.

Tomorrow we head home to celebrate our Christmas in our home.

I made nine Christmas doilies as gifts for my sister-in-laws, nieces and other family members. Hubby said I should crochet one for myself on the long drive home! LOL !

Love to all of you and Merry Christmas!

Another Christmas Doily & Pumpkin Recipe

On our long drive today to spend Christmas with our brothers I crocheted another Christmas Doily (pattern) in red, green and white.

It's snowing here in northeast Ohio, very windy and cold.   We just had a nice, hot meal out and are settled in for the night.  I'm sitting here crocheting another doily with green as the dominant color this time.

Changing the subject...I'm going to brag about a great pumpkin dessert for Christmas that feeds a large family and is so easy to make. For our Christmas BUNCO Wednesday night I made "Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake," a delicious recipe I found on Pinterest. I didn't think to take a photo of it but you can find the link on Pinterest to the blog (here) where you can find the detailed instructions and step-by-step photos.

It's hard to believe it's just a few more days until Christmas. Hope you all are ready for Christmas and are able to spend it with your loved ones.

Our Mickey Shelf

Remember the neat IKEA shelves my Hubby installed for my computer work station?

Well, we fancied the big one all up with our Mickey (and Minnie) memorabilia from Disney. Our collection includes the Mickey and Minnie Salt & Pepper Shakers and stuffed Christmas dolls from our recent trip to Walt Disney World; the Snowman Water Tower and Mickey Mouse with Mickey Snowmen are Department 56 items; the colorful cutting board and small matching bowl have little Mickey heads all over them; and lastly, and the one I'm crazy about...the adorable Mickey Mouse gnome we couldn't leave Ft Wilderness without.

What do you think of our Mickey Mouse vignette? Not your typical fancy grown up Christmas blogger vignette.

Keep your fingers crossed for me I'm hoping I'm well enough to put the lights outside today. While resting yesterday we finished the Christmas cards so they will be mailed today.

I also threw in photos of a little red and green Christmas doily (pattern) I started last night. I love this pattern. This time I'm using a smaller F hook so it's a tiny doily. I love setting these out around our home at Christmas time.

Have a lovey day!

Yum, Yum...We Had Turkey!

We drove over to Disney's Coronado Springs Resort yesterday to have our Thanksgiving supper at their Maya Grill. We had never eaten there and thought we might have to have Mexican food. But we were pleasantly surprised they had a special Thanksgiving meal for us to try instead. The meal was excellent.

Hope you all had a most wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did here at Ft. Wilderness (Walt Disney World, FL) !

P.S. I crocheted a little dishcloth in Christmas red and lime green today too.
