Mo, the Maniac Maker
I SWEAR I AM REALLY LOSING MY MIND. I’ve been bitten by the holiday bug and I wanted to actually make stuff. Last year, it was ornaments, bags of popcorn mix, and chocolate covered pretzels. This year, it was many things. Scarves. Cookies. More Scarves.
First up is the oatmeal/chocolate chip/M&M cookies Ashley and I made for everyone.
Best parts of making these were:
- Niel (Ashley’s husband) asking if we’d made them already. We hadn’t, but to all recipients, I promise I’ve made them now, they are edible, and what’s more, they taste GOOD.
- Niel wondering if we cut up his shirt to make the lid toppers. Why yes, sorry to whoever got the sweat patches! Really, no T-Shirts were harmed in the making of these treats.
- Aspen coming in and looking at the bowl of M&M’s and declaring “Yummmm” with such longing, that we had to give her some. Which she ate with her back to the door. I could almost hear her thinking, my preciouses….
Now on to the sweaters. Not much story here. Just knit, knit knit until my hands want to fall off and run away like the hand from the Adams Family.
Now my nieces will be warm, and bellies all over Utah County will be full of sugar thanks to me. I just worry what crazy craft I’ll come up with next year!

You are so creative!!! I love the crafty projects! I bet the cookies are yummy. I have never made the cookie mixes before, but they always look so pretty! Such a good idea!
And the scarfs are awesome. I have no clue how to knit. I should totally learn.
You basically rawk.
Hey Aub,
I got your comment. You’re sweet. It looks like you are staying busy and having fun. I think you’re website is hilarious!
Love,

You knit multiple fun fur scarves?????!!!!! No wonder you hands hurt! I’ve used it as fancy trim around the edge of something and it was not easy to work with!
You mean it gets easier without the fun fur? Those are all I’ve ever tried. No wonders it was so hard and I’ve given up on a few! I’ll have to try something easier next time. Thanks for all the comments everyone!
