Bread, a gift and tatting

I managed to tat a bit yesterday but got caught up with this and that but did make bread. The entire house had a wonderful aroma. A plain bread but the extra virgin olive oil adds a distinct taste. It can also be made using regular or light olive oil. Today I hope to at least try to tat the icicle pattern so I can figure out what beads I need. With all the beads I do have most likely they are not the right size!
There is another gift to show you...

this beautiful lacey scarf made for me by Debbie. Hard to tell but it is a lovely variegated yarn, and oh so soft. This was only part of the package....

A wonderful mug mat and ort catcher filled with delicious hard candies and a candy bar...I love chocolate and Lindt is one of my favorites. Thank you my friend....not only for the gift but for your continued daily emails...yes we chat everyday.  She has offered so much encouragement to me over these last 6 months.
So, today they say our temp should be in the low 70s....sorry for those of you out there in the snow and cold. I will just continue to tat snowflakes and icicles for the winter feel. I must work on my Shutterfly book as the coupon will soon expire......just as the year will soon change form 2017 to 2018. I make no resolutions for the New Year because I would never keep them.
I am off to finish my coffee. So glad to visit with you today. Thank you for your kind words and most of all your friendship.
