Hi Judi ☺️ your jumper is beautiful you’re very clever I’d end up knitting in the oblong 😂 George was a perfect baby Jesus 👶 and not long before he’s running down the grand corridor with Oliver 🥰 Your baking looked delicious and what a treat to come back to after your family visit to Castle Howard. I’m hoping to feel more alive in 25 too as I’ve been feeling rather low in 24 🥰
Mince pie was always my mom’s favorite for the holidays, I don’t see it much anymore here in Oregon. It seems pumpkin, apple and pecan pie are more the norm. As a side note, I went into the Montavilla Sewing store today and Loriann was there, we had a nice chat and drooled over sewing machines🤩.
I have had my eye on a Juki TL2010. Just not ready to buy yet. My Janome 6500P is having some issues, maybe it can be repaired🤞. Maybe we can meet for coffee.
I made a sponge flan and filled it with fruit. I had tracked down Quickjel to glaze it. I'm not a child, Judi, but I licked the bowl when the sponge went in the oven! I offered the job to my son (he's 42!) but he declined so I was obliged to do it myself! 😂
Lovely video Judy! When i make my chocolate roll i sprinkle unsweetened cocoa on top of the cooked warm cake and then turn upside down while still warm and then while warm with the tea towel rolled inside and then i freeze that way until i need it. Then carefully unroll stuff and reroll. I usually ice the top with a ganache which hides cracks if you get any.
Hi Judi, thank you for sharing all the fun you have had between Christmas and New Year. I really wanted to reach through the screen and grab some of that roulade 😋 I love your jumper and the colors. You are definitely more adventurous with your knitting than I am😃 Happy New Year 🎊 ❤
Thanks for sharing Judi. My youngest daughter always makes a chocolate roulade at Christmas for those of us who don’t like Christmas pudding, it’s not as neatly rolled but it’s very yummy. 💙🧶🌈🍓
Judy I absolutely adore that jumper! Am about to chase up the pattern, though I know it’s not something I can wear a lot here in Australia - cardigans make more sense. Must say, your vlogmas and that of Kristen of the Dahlia Sewciety are the only two that I watched on a daily basis.
Hello Judy! Glad you had a wonderful Christmas. George was adorable as Jesus. Of course, all the children were magnificent ❤. Catching up with old friends is always fun. Enjoy your visit with her. I knit too. I have found that it’s very relaxing and meditative. Knitting and sewing are good for your mental health. It’s been proven to keep your mind sharp and help with dexterity. It helped me after I went through my double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery two years ago. I love your sweater. Those colors really do suit you. Please show us the finished sweater. I would love to see it 😊. Have a wonderful New Year. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane ❤
Oh thank you. Its always a risk doing something different, but I do say running sewing life, and as much as its a sewing channel I do see that people like to see life - happy new year xx
Stunning sweater! That roulade looks amazing!! So lovely to see you out and about, my SIL lives in York and works at Tesco. I always think I’m going to catch a glimpse whilst you and the other girls are in York lol: Thank you for sharing your adventures. Happy New Year from this Brit in Dallas xx
I’m so glad you had a wonderful Christmas. I enjoyed your videos so very much. I’m sure it took time and effort. Can’t wait to see what the New Year brings you.
Hi Judy I have really enjoyed your vlogmas this year as always iam glad you had wonderful Christmas with your family wishing you a happy new year 🎊🎆🎈 see you soon Dawn xx
I used a rice flour this time. It seemed that the more I worked the pastry is easier it got to roll out. I didn't use half fat to flour, but I used slightly more fat to flour than the recipe asked for. Hannah says its much better than the mass produced gluten free flour and xan tam gum added xxx
😊👏❤️🇳🇴👏❤️👏👏👏 Norwegian yarn is terrific to knit with and wear. The more wool, the better. You can make a lot of different things with the Fana pattern. Be creative!❤️ Enjoy the knitting. It is a good way to keep healthy. Mentally and for avling hands. I have Bern seeing you wearing the Setesdals jumper snd one other.
The jumper you are making is beautiful. I love the colors! It looks like a quite challenging pattern to me. Aren’t grandchildren the best!
I love being a grandma, just wish their grandad was still here xxx
I love the colours you have chosen for your jumper. It’s gorgeous.
Thank you x

@@scarletweigel2312 I found walkers mince pies at World Market in Fort Worth when I was visiting my eldest. Not sure if you have them in Oregon :-)
Thank you, we do have World Market here in Oregon, I will have to check it out!

Judi, my sister used to make minced meat pies when I was little.
I love mince pies or minced spys as my mum called them!!!! xxx
Thanks for sharing Judi. My youngest daughter always makes a chocolate roulade at Christmas for those of us who don’t like Christmas pudding, it’s not as neatly rolled but it’s very yummy. 💙🧶🌈🍓
I always panic at the rolling stage! xx

Wishing you all a very happy new year xx
What flours do you use for your gluten free mince pies please? I tried some this year but they were not great.
I used a rice flour this time. It seemed that the more I worked the pastry is easier it got to roll out. I didn't use half fat to flour, but I used slightly more fat to flour than the recipe asked for. Hannah says its much better than the mass produced gluten free flour and xan tam gum added xxx
Rice flour is just a bit pricey xx
