Gingerbread Feast 2013

Rem and Steph's was Gingerbread Feast, Friday, was a full house. Many were ready to get creative with gingerbread, icing, and candy. And what was on their minds? (Or should I say who?) 

The oven finished cooking two pumpkin pies, and was then ready for some gingerbread play.

Kathy worked away on a Rubik's Cube, while Claire put together the pieces from her cast iron gingerbread house mould.

Michael and Allison and Rob all thought of the TARDIS, but with blue dye and blue prints in hand, Michael and Allison went to town.
After two years of high concept, but badly executed ideas, I decided to go back to something a little more basic... with a spin...
Steph made it pretty and in the end it was comfortable too for all the gummy bear riders (though, they sometimes were upside down). 
While all this concentration was going on, we'd steamed up the windows (below, including a self portrait.)...
Time passed... and then somehow Rem's beard was clipped.

Fitty? Bitty? Bob?

It looked like rather a sad lump until I gave it a tap. 

And then it stuck its tongue out at me. 

All right, all right, I understand, you're sick of me being lazy.  I'll get up and walking around. 





And maybe do some tidying up.

Oh, it's time to go for groceries and do some Christmas shopping...
 ... And I'm back!

Some laundry... some vacuuming... more chores... decorate for Christmas... do some cooking...








Up and down the stairs to get things organised...

Wait a sec!  Are you laughing?!  Hmph!










My sadistic fitbit zip is really happy when I'm all tired and achy.  It could probably use a name.  Suggestions?
