Spent yesterday on my holiday baking: I ended up going with Grandma DeConnick's anise cookies and Chockylit's Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes with Fennel Cream Cheese Icing. I topped the cupcakes with chocolate-covered cherries purchased from Nuts Online. (Fraction pointed out that it's amazing that they got that url.) The cupcake recipe is available at the Cupcake Blog.
I just realized I didn't end up taking any pictures of the cookies. Oops.
Also on the Homemaking Arts bent: my meathead hat was chosen for Larissa's book! Very exciting -- except that now I'm going to need to knit another one as the meathead has become my default hat this winter and my head will freeze without it. No worries. I think I'll make a black and purple one to go with my coat.
Shall we plan on starting the bookclub in January? I hate to add to anyone's stress during the holiday season.

My contribution to Larissa's Meathead Knitalong. (The flickr group is right here.) It's an easy 1-evening knit; the embellishment is up to you, she just asks that you embellish over the left ear. (I crocheted a GIANT thing first that ended up looking like some sort of horrible pink and green dream catcher. This flower was my second try. I think I might put a button in the center if I can find an appropriate one.)
Were I to do this over again, I'd make the dark pink a solid band, rather than play with which colors I held together. I might do anohter -- I think I've got the yarn left over. It did only take one night, afterall.
The yarn is Lambs Pride bulky, which is, of course, a delight. And I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the point, but I love it. Very pixie-ish.
So yeah, like it a lot -- will definitely wear it (it goes beautifully with my hot pink car coat; it's plenty warm and soft) -- but if I had it to do over again, I'd
make some changes with regard to my color design.
