Oh Deer...

I travelled to the family holiday cookie exchange today.  It was a perfect travel day, although the rest of the week is sounding like a winter mess.  Not only were there guests inside but also some visitors in the backyard.
Three beautiful deer were visiting.  Later in the afternoon one was right up on the deck admiring the cookies through the window.  Great to see family and come home with a random sampling of sweets.
These were my contribution - coconut birds nests.  Later this week I'll make some shortbreads for the sweet neighbor ladies across the street 
I'm still behind on Christmas but I did get some things done Saturday.  There's no point stressing, it will get done.  I only have to work 4 more days and then I'm on vacation until the New Year!   I've been starting to feel the urge to hook again so maybe between Christmas and New Years I might actually put something on the frame.   Guess I'll end this quick update with a picture of Abby practicing yoga
Lol. Geez she looks long all stretched out like that.  She had a new bone and was completely focused like that for about an hour.  Well, the countdown is on now

  1. Your cookies look so good!! I love,love,love coconut. The only thing I like better than plain coconut, is coconut with chocolate. LOL

    We have white-tailed deer here in California, but they have longer faces. I like the look of your's better. Kinda chubby and friendly. LOL

    Enjoy your vacation...

  6. Nice to see the deers in winter but they can be a big nuisance in the spring in the gardens. The cookie exchange is a great tradition and your coconut bird nest cookies looks just divine. Good for Abbey doing Yoga, lol.
    Season's Greetings.
    Hugs,

  7. I live in the woods and enjoy my deer anytime of year. Easy for me to say that since I don't have a grande garden and if they want to eat it they may have it. Cookies look delicious.

    Even I'm gettig excited to see something on your frame.
