I contemplated using low-fat sour cream, but decided against it since the recipe only calls for 1/2 stick of butter, and I figured that it needs a certain amount of fat to give it lightness. <br />That recipe is definitely going into my recipe binder!bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302679114750034953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-50141744847368594832010-11-17T08:52:06.249-08:002010-11-17T08:52:06.249-08:00Those are gorgeous, Claudia!

On a whim, I bought some handmade felt at a yarn shop while I was on vacation over the summer, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what to do with it. I can't wait to hear more about your experiences working with felt and how you made those fabulous gloves!

I usually hide my fingernails. The color is delicious. Cranberry is my favorite red :) So glad Simcha is doing well...and certainly hope the neutering has 'that calming' effect you are hoping for. The dog whisperer is a big believer in neutering large, male dogs. I just got back home so trying to basically get myself sorted out. I have four more weeks of school and then I can truly chill out during Christmas. I get a whole 17 days in a row of time off.

I like to joke about it but his puppyhood has been difficult, and, as I'm pretty easy going by nature that says a lot.<br /><br />Subliminal Rabbit ~ so sweet of you to say.

Felting is hugely popular here in Norway, and has been for a very long time as a way of using wool to make warm, durable clothing and more. I've dabbled a bit in making felt, and it is a lot of fun. Sometimes you really don't know what you're going to end up with, and that's part of the fun. I just LOVE cranberries too! Your cake is wonderful... very much a celebration of this season.

I've been looking for the 'perfect' pattern.<br /><br />About Simcha--how old is he? My dd's puppy (actually VERY big puppy)is now about 9-10 months and he is 'becoming' (more) aggressive. The dog trainer said it's probably due to age because that's when the 'protective' instinct kicks in.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-16011315174764547222010-11-11T17:38:34.055-08:002010-11-11T17:38:34.055-08:00Those gloves are so beautiful, Claudia, and look a...Those gloves are so beautiful, Claudia, and look at you, you're a designer! The recipe sounds wonderful, and I'm very glad to hear about Simcha - how old is he now? My friend has a Schnauzer and everyone tells her between 16-18mos, she'll calm down and get a brain.

Your felted mitts look wonderful, especially with your painted nails. :o) I don't wear fingerless mitts much, it's either too cold, or not cold enough to wear mittens or not.
