mary's been busy decorating the house, but i think the xmas tree comes only next week. i love the glow it brings into the living room and piles of mysterious little packages scattered under it :D
right now i'm working on an extra xmas gift for alex's grandma, and the pattern is in norwegian. good thing i have enough crocheting experience. the store we bought the yarn in was selling cheap jeans for 100nkr so i happily grabbed a pair. i have NEVER seen such cheap jeans there yet. usually i see them for 300-1200. ouch!
mary insisted i take the next two pics for alvin.
in this one, he's supposed to be waiting for santa XD
all week i realised now i've been wrapping. finally finished the last batch... but..
this needs to be done to them too...so they can be mailed out. but i'll be done on monday, and then i wont have to be standing on my feet all day any more! YAY!
then i have to clean up my mess too. 'woohoo'.
mary has also started making xmas goodies. i imagine aarthi and alvin to enjoy such stuff? this particular cakey thing she's making is my favourite xmas goody here. she's lining the metal tins with crust dough while i buttered the tins.
then they are filled with an almond,butter, sugar and egg mixture before getting topped with a simple adornment. i have to play with food,especially when dough is involved XD can you spot the 'XD', the angry face, the pig face and a cat face? mary was like 'Tiiiinna! now you make me play with the food' and she makes a piggy one too XD
sadly, the faces dont show up very well when baked because the mixture rises abit and evens out, and the colors are so similar after baking. havent taken any pic of myself lately, because seriously people... how would you feel taking a snap of your face at random places and times? i dont feel very comfortable doing it unless its visiting some new place and i want to be part of the scenary. but come xmas i should post more i guess! or if we go somewhere. hopefully it snows more then i know i'll get alex to take pics of medoing things like making snowangels and snowmen XD
