52 weeks of happy

{9/52}
homemade mince pies
nightie & slippers
sugar & cinnamon almonds
hat knitting
1. homemade mince pies - you can't beat them {although i do cheat a little & buy a jar of mincemeat} i could make a batch of these every couple of days as they never last long,
2. being poorly is the perfect excuse to stay at home keeping warm & snug, the littlest one was off school a couple of days {seeing her in her new xmas nightie makes me very happy}
3. i had a go at making some sweet sugar & cinnamon almonds, they worked a treat first time & didn't last long either! i plan to make another batch to gift as presents, this was the recipe i followed, i halved it this time but won't be next!
4. more knitting on the go {knitting always makes me happy} another quick knit - will share when it's finished

  1. Those mince pies look delicious. I always buy my mincemeat too, but was given the tip of making holes in the mincemeat (whilst still in the jar) then adding a couple of spoons of brandy. Do up the jar and leave until needed. Yumm! XX

  3. Your post has really put me in the holiday mood. And I am so glad it makes you Happy! Me too. I love this time of year, but more the atmosphere and the spirit of it all. Shame it can't last all year.

  5. That all sounds super! I am making my first batch of mince pies today, I think they will last about two seconds as I am the main culprit in munching them and I get through a fair few. - Annie
