Is it cold or what??
I'm amazed at how chilly it got in what seems like a relatively short period of time.  We're still having sunny days, but YIKES it's c-c-c-cold!

I made some pumpkin bread today, nothing special and not from scratch, but it sure filled the house with a scrumptious odor.  I'm sure it will be tasty.  If I like it, then I'll venture on to make some scratch.  I tend to try thing out pre-made once and if I like it, I make it myself. 

I have 3 jars of jalapeno mint jelly in the BWB and it'll be done boilin' away in about 4 minutes.  I had a taste and oooohhhh mmmmyyyy goooodnesssss.  *slurp*  Good stuff!   I definitely need some serious practice in canning though.  I ...well...I suck.  LOL  It's just lack of experience as I have only tried to make any kind of jam or jelly all of 2 times in the last 20 odd years.  I'm going to look for some local fruits to make up some other flavors of jams, jellies and I would also like to make some marmalade.  Fig jam is high on my list but I'm not sure if I can find any locally this late in the season. 

Jalepeno Mint Jelly Cooling

I finished one sock of the pair I started earlier this year (or was it around Christmas of last year? I don't remember for sure). 

Kim spun up some beee-U-tee-FULL yarn for me to make the "Ice Queen".  I am so excited, however I discovered I'm lacking the proper needles, so they're on my ebay watch list now.  She did a fantastic job and though she thought it wasn't as soft as she expected, I think and my fingers agree, IT's POSITIVELY DIVINE!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!  I can't wait to work with it. 


Doesn't it look fantastic???  mmmmm

Jelly Looks AWESOME and the yarn is Oh So beautiful to look at. I could just run my fingers through the skeen.

I can't wait to see your final project once it's finished.
