I Like Thursday #122


It's time for I Like Thursday once again! A few of us bloggers post happy and uplifting posts that  are all linked to LeeAnna's blog over at Not Afraid of Color. I hope you visit and read them! I'm not a fancy cook or baker but I did try my hand at this Christmas cake. It was on the cover of the Food Network magazine. I made my usual white cake that my family likes. So, I made the cake but added the Christmas trees. The trees are made from sugar cones that are frosted. Then the M&M's are added! It was fun to make. It doesn't look as fancy as the magazine but I tried!



My Ring kept notifying me that there was someone in our front yard. I found these two eating one of our bushes. That one deer kept looking at me as I took pictures! So funny!


I am making progress on my socks albeit very slowly! You can really see the pattern emerging. I'll be turning the heel soon. Every row is different which is why it's taking so long! They are pretty though.


I've wanted to load this quilt for the longest time. I haven't had much time since I've been working on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. I had a few days so it's loaded and I actually started quilting it this morning. Those big wide borders are tough to fill but I'm getting there! And that was my week!

I'm wishing you all a healthy and Happy New Year!

  1. Such a pretty sock pattern--it looks complicated.. I've just turned the heel on my first sock and am now doing the instep...no sewing here to speak of as yet. I am planning to do a NO BUY and just use up my stash if I can in 2022--wish me luck on that one!! If I am well enough in January i plan to look through it all and see about donations --(I am in SABLE right now :Stash Accumulated Beyond Life
    Expectancy!!)
    Hoping that your NEW Year will be happy and healthy...

    1. Thanks, Julierose! The socks will take awhile but they're worth it! I have way too much stash too. I'm trying to find some patterns where I can use up crumbs. I have a container full of small pieces. I just want to use them up.

  2. Hi Rosemary! Your Christmas cake looks so pretty and festive. What a fun idea, to cover sugar cones with frosting and then decorate them. I like that everything is eatable. Good job on your socks as well as quilting. Progress is a good thing. Happy New Year to you and your family. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

  8. Your Christmas cake looks awesome! Neat idea. I find when the deer are here, one is always more vigilant for some reason. That sock pattern looks wonderful. Good luck with the quilting. I do hope you enjoy another wonderful New Year, Rosemary.

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
