Cookie #10 in "the 12 Days of Christmas" and a visitor to the studio today!

When we were making our cookie boxes when I was a kid, pecan snowballs always went in.  I made these today and when I tried one it was like stepping back into my childhood. They are such a good cookie to have with tea or coffee.  Kind of like a shortbread but loaded with nuts.  Not too sweet, but with powdered sugar on the outside.  Just so yummy!

Oh wow!!  Nancy's Christmas quilt, just gorgeous!!

Nancy was our first rug hooker here in Missouri and as you can see, she is a lady of many talents.  She started out quilting, but lately has become obsessed with rug hooking.  She recently finished this quilt though.  The appliques are all wool.  So beautiful!!

Until next time......
