A hamish Christmas

I got the most wonderful Christmas/birthday gifts from my friend Doris this week. She's a wonderful seamstress, cook, and crafter.
She made me a couple of pot holders that can also double as trivets. One is white and one black, and they're backed with thick wool. I hung one in the kitchen and the the color scheme works well.





I also got a batch of Christmas cookies that are delicious, a mix of gingerbread and sugar cookies.



Lastly, she gave me an assortment of homemade jams, both savory and sweet: a tomato jam, a caramelized onion and apple, and a concord grape. I can't wait to taste those!
