Holidazzle!

Today was a day full of adventures! I saw a wonderful friend, went to the Walker Arts Center, the Holidazzle Parade and Ikea.  I'd say it was successful.

As Promised

A preview of my mittens! This is what the majority of my days have looked like.  It's bliss! I'm at ease for one of the first weeks all semester.  

Little Friends

I'm totally fortunate.  My finals week has consisted primarily of knitting and Private Practice! I had a final on Monday morning and don't have anything until Friday! Woot! Therefore, I knit.  I've been working on a pair of mittens for my friend Katie.  (Those will be posted later). And little creatures for tiny humans.  I made a cute little pig and a penguin.  I need to make another penguin.  I found this awesome pattern while on Ravelry. I had to pay for it but it was totally awesome! 28 ornaments for about 3 dollars.  Anyway! They're great presents for the tiny humans in my life.  I'm so happy I have people to knit for!

How is your snow-less winter going?

A Cubed

The quality on this is a bit poor.  But it is readable! I got A^3 on my in class exam for writing.  What does  that even mean? Oh well. I'll take it! 

Worth It

These little gems were worth half an hour of my time.  Yummm.

Lights!

I put up my Christmas lights today.  I was really excited! How is your holiday season going? 

Method

My method yesterday for getting a group for a class to actually do some work and be productive was to make them cookies.  I guess some background information would be that it's a group of three guys and poor me.  Too much testosterone in the group.  Oh well.  We've had little projects all semester and a two page paper can take us up to 2 1/2 hours.  Ridiculous.  But they're all pretty fun so I guess that's okay.  But we have a final paper due next week.  5-7 pages.  I was pretty sure there was no way it was going to get done.  So I made cookies to bribe them into working. Cookies just boosted everyone's energy to browse the internet more! Oh well! It was a good time.  We got most of the paper done.  Hooray! 

This cookie recipe is one of my favorites.  Mainly because of how easy it is! I don't like to bake.  I'd rather cook most of the time.  So an easy recipe is always welcome. 

1 Box of Cake Mix

2 Eggs

1/3 Cup of Oil

1 Teaspoon of Peppermint Extract! 

Christmas cookies aren't Christmasy without frosting! Yeah for powdered sugar cookies!

I added peppermint extract to it as well as crushed candy canes. Yummm!

What kind of goodies are you making this holiday season?!
