    Every year, my family shares a box of See's Candies chocolates. We look forward to this box of chocolates all year. I bake so many different cookies so this is the one holiday treat I don't make but get to enjoy. Amy, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and new year ahead. ❤

      That's so sweet. Thank you so much! 😊. There’s a see’s candy shop right down the road. When we’re feeling ‘extra’ we’ll stop in for our free piece of chocolate and a small treat.

    My favorite Christmas treat is Baklava, a middle eastern pastry of crushed nuts and honey layered inside phyllo dough and cut into triangles, extra points if it was made by a Greek Orthodox Christian Grandma.

    Amy your videos make me feel like we are chatting in my room. I found myself nodding in agreement to alot of your what your sewing practices are. Then I saw your awesome 1.5 inch block box. I got giddy. Called my husband over to see your box. 😂 I proved I am not the only one! My box is not as big as yours...yet...but it is so nice to be validated.
    My favourite Christmas treat is hard to pick. I think it has to be speculaas cookies. My husband family were Dutch immigrants. They always bought the cookies but I got a recipe from an Anglican minister and have been making rolled cookies with his recipe. We make all kinds of Christmas shapes but our family makes Christmas pigs and Pillsbury dough boy shaped cookies too. Pigs because I loved pigs as a kid and the dough boys because it makes one of our friends very happy. Favourite tea is Chai always. Love the smell and taste. Your channel is so appealing due to your chatting nature, beautiful smile and friendly fun attitude of life! You do make others lives more beautiful! Oops I commented before the non cookie treat. Has to be what we call Christmas Crack. Premium plus crackers covered with a carmal from brow sugar and chocolate . Just can't stop eating it.

    @SharonRStudio 2 дні тому

    Yes. I agree. $20 for a blade is painful if you nick on the ruler. I have felt guilty using the inexpensive blades, but they work great. I will no longer feel guilty. Thank you. The tea sounds yummy. Even your under desk “shame” is so organized. It was fun to spend time with you today.

    I totally agree with you about rotary blades. I buy the generic titanium blades. I love that kids fabric. I heard the hippopotamus Christmas song yesterday for the first time. Tablet is my favourite sweet treat. It’s a Scottish sweet a bit like fudge but harder and it melts in your mouth. It’s not specifically a Christmas treat but I always make some at Christmas. My other favourite is Thorntons special toffee. Again it’s really bad for your teeth but delicious.

    • @amydement.

Now I need to make one for me I don’t like the cold outdoor bleachers either. I have a new favorite treat that I just discovered coconut cream candies (thanks to a you tube video). The recipe made 50 of them my husband and I are in chocolate covered coconut heaven!

    Hello Beautiful! Just made a cuppa tea (lemon ginger) before bed and your video popped up.🎉 What size are you trimming your HST’s? I save random cut off triangles and stitch them randomly to the corners of 3” square then sew them into four patches that sort of look like stars. Each one unique. All of my neighbors are Amish and they often make the Georgia crackers but they don’t have any name for them. We love crème brûlée or chocolate mousse for Christmas dessert. Love the chat. See you tomorrow. Now wait a minute, you have not used up a glue stick until you use a popsicle stick or your stiletto to get in there and dig out every last smear of it!😂❤

    The autotoolhome are the brand of blades I use from Amazon too. I love them -60 mm are about 17-20 bucks for 10 at least over the last month when I looked. 45 mm are more like $10-12. My favorite holiday treats are really all cookies but I love candy cane/peppermint ice cream, but I haven’t seen it for the last couple of years-I guess I need to make some….

    I have to list 2 things for my favorite sweet treat. My mom was a great candy maker. She made the most devine Divinity candy. It was so light and airy. I loved it. But I am not the candy maker my mother was. I haven't had any Divinity since she passed more than 20 years ago.
    My second favorite sweet treat is pecan pie. I make homemade pie crust, and I have a family recipe that has been passed down. Nobody makes pecan pie that's as good as mine, so I have to make 2 pies to make sure I get my fill. And it has to have an extra large dollop of genuine whipped cream. It's all homemade at my house!
    Have a great Christmas !!♥️

    It took a while but I am finally ok making quilts (and other things) for myself just because I want to. You shouldn't feel guilty keeping your creations.
    Favorite sweet treat all year round - open a full or mostly full jar of peanut butter and sprinkle in dark chocolate chips; eat with spoon.
    I also like to melt butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter together to make a kind of ganache/frosting for graham crackers or granola bars (because granola is good for you).
    Favorite thing for a special treat - Place regular Oreos in a cereal bowl, add milk eat with spoon I saved from first favorite.

    My favorite sweet for the holidays is Texas Milky Way Cake. My mother in law made it for me in 1984, the first year we were married and I make it for family and friends.🎶💐💖🫂
