Friday Favs - Xmas presents

I wish I could say I already found all of my presents. 

Alas, I'm still looking for inspiration.

I have made some of the things I want to gift. I crocheted and knitted (the knitted part looks bad) all December. I really hope my family and friends will like what I got them. 

this is a scarf I made for one of my best friends  - it's a crocheted fan scarf out of this pattern which I modified a bit :)

Candied orange peel

I got candy crazy before Xmas :)

There are sooo many amazing and, no doubt, delicious candy and sweet recipes.

My thought go to candied orange peel because I looove oranges and hate wasting food.

Orange muffins 2.0

I made orange muffins some time ago and they would be a complete disaster if I didn't trust my intuition enough to introduce some changes.

I found another one recently and decided to give it a try. I am a bit distrustful of oranges and grapefruit in baked goods. However, I'm also a sucker for their taste so here we go...

Garlic sauce

 I feel that garlic sauce deserves a post on its own. I love it!

I can't think of any other dish I make quite so often.

I can't  imagine a party without the sauce to dip crisps in. There's no Greek salad without it for me anymore.

It's simply delicious!

Friday Favs - first snow

 I've been meaning to knit my hubby a beanie this whole week, but my the lazy part of me took over and I didn't even start. Eh... Thankfully, I'm almost ready with one of my crochet Christmas presents.

Stained glass gingerbread cookies

I can't wait for Christmas, as you probably know by now... Yes, I'm not patient.

And because of that I made gingerbread cookies 4 weeks before Christmas. 

Friday Favs - yarn :)

I'm so excited because my yarn has arrived. I'm crocheting a couple of things and I was running out of yarn. So I thought that I could learn how to knit if I have spare yarn. (Did you notice I love the word 'yarn'?)
