Not-quite-advent yet... but coming closer

[wiseheart]

And I was busy again. After having made a food run (we had neither milk nor bread in the house, so it was inevitabe), I baked one batch of cookies, namely the orange hearts. We ate leftovers and watched some crap telly, then I did the chocolate icing and the decorating.

The Santa head from the previous entry is now hanging on the outer side of our entrance door. I hope the neighbours won't get a heart attack from the googly eyes. *g*

You're getting there with your baking! I got the advent wreath stuff from the spider-infested basement today (always an exercise in willpower, since I'm arachnophobic) so now we are one step closer, too. Mom talked about dipping the cookies I baked yesterday in chocolate today but it looks like she is too exhausted for it, so maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

I hate spiders, too. I generally hate all creepy-crawlies, especially inside the house. I'm willing to share the great outdoors with them, since I'm so not a nature freak, but inside civilization I prefer to be alone with my fellow bipeds. *g*

No bread in the house is definitely not good!

And since we didn't have milk, either, baking a Hefezopf vom Stehgreif wasn't an alternative.

No bread is bad. No milk? We almost never have any. Even with pancakes you can substitute milk with jogurt. Thumbs up for googly Santa at the entrance door!

I'm quite certain that both Mum and I were calfs in our previous life (or is that calves?) because neither of us could survive a single day without milk.

I think your neighbors are smiling, the Santa is so cheerful! How many more cookies do you have planned?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

The master plan includes 44 different sorts altogether. I'm up to 24 now, which is good. But should I not manage to make them all, I won't despair, either. I'll continue as long as I have fun; in the moment when it becomes a burden, I'll stop.

that Santa doesn't look freaky to me. :)

It's the googly eyes. 😱

A real hive of activity!

One way to keep one's sanity — or at least what's left of it.

Lol. Googly-eyed Santa would certainly be a shock for anyone coming home from a pre-Christmas drinks party.

I can't be responsible for their outrageous drinking habits. *puts on virtuous face*
