Last Sunday was The Chicks With Sticks Second Annual Holiday Party!! Cindy so graciously hosted this event (as well as last year)......and what a party it was!!!
We had the MOST fantastic lunch!!! Cindy is an AWESOME hostess......every detail was covered and everything was presented in the most beautiful way!! I failed to get pics of the house which is decorated so beautiful.....but Ginger has a great post from Monday with pics of a few of the decorations.
We were served some incredible spinach, artichoke, parmesan, appetizers that were OUT of this world!!! Two choices for soup....both of which were just FANTASTIC......Cindy's famous Salad, hot rolls, home made chocolate bread pudding that there are just no words to describe it is so good.........and then cookies.........lot's and lot's of homemade cookies!!!
There were Mexican Wedding Cookies made by Ginger.....
AND.....the MOST fantastic Pralines by Ginger!!
And just WAYYY too many cookies to post pics!!!
Everyone brought several dozen and we had great fun loading up our tins with an assortment of cookies to take back home!!! (Because you can NEVER have too many cookies)!!
Cindy made everyone a very clever ornament last year........and another creative one this year!! Perhaps her inspiration came from the sheep we saw at SAFF???
A bit of decorating is taking place around here.....better late than never I guess......this is our first Christmas with Bella and before the tree was decorated we wanted to "test the waters" so to speak as to how she would handle it.
After a great deal of munching.....yes.....she was EATING the tree....she finally decided while the "greens" were tasty.............
the sap was a pain to deal with.....and she hasn't touched the tree since!!! (Or perhaps I should say SO FAR)!!!
More decorating will commence but I DID somehow managed to decorate my favorite thing in the house last night!!! LOL!!!
And just to prove this wheel isn't for decorative purposes only..... I have indeed spun a little something on my wheel....just not time right now with all that is going on with the Holidays.....but I am already looking forward to several nice January weekends by the fire spinning away!!This is some GORGEOUS roving that Jessi gave me.....it was purchased from Funky Carolina (Here in Birmingham)...it is SOOOO soft and the most beautiful green and lavender!!! Jessi also makes the CUTEST stitch markers...... check her Etsy shop here. Her stages of knitting markers are tooo cute!!!!

LOL I can't believe you've decorated your wheel, but you haven't finished decorating the house! Ya nut!
Thanks for the link and the spinning looks great!
I can smell the calories of those yummy looking goodies! I agree, that is gorgeous roving - i'll have to check out Funky Carolina's site :) Can't wait for the spinning gathering in January!!!!
The food sounds, and looks, wonderful! I bet it was fun. I can't believe Bella was eating the tree! It doesn't sound very tasty.
Love the ornament - what a great idea! Beautiful yarn you are spinning!
Oh boy, do I miss good Southern cooking. (but it probably wouldn't help my diet, LOL) I had the pleaser of spending 4 days in Alabama and learned that "Southern Hospitality" was real!
