The day before the new year

 

Tomorrow the new year starts. It is a time for a little reflection. 

I am happy for my family and friends.
I am happy about having happy plans for the new year.
I am happy for having a safe home and enough to eat.
I am happy for living in a county with good health care for all. 
I am happy for fabrics, good tools, lovely embroidery floss and beautiful colours.  

I am happy for being me, through good days and not so good days.
I am happy for daily threads and black coffee in the mornings

I have started the after Christmas clean out in the fridge 😊

Yesterday I baked bread - putting in a piece of cut up sweet bread and some milk that had been in the fridge for a while in the dough. Homemade bread is the best.
Some store bought marzipan got baked in the oven as cookies. I baked them exactly as I bake cookies from self made marzipan. I wonder what made them to hard baked under. Some additives in the marzipan I guess. DH think they are perfect as is. They will not last long 😁

The clementines we bought for Christmas this year was not the best, so I cooked them with some sugar and some pectine and used the stick mixer to make a smooth bread spread. It tastes good and will be perfect for breakfast and toast. 
Fruit salad for dessert was not wrong either - clementines, seedless grapes, some pineapple and some raisins. I thought it would last for today too - it did not 💛

I am not one for resolutions, but I have some plans that will make the new year a good and fun one.

I wish you and yours the very best for the new year 💖
