My hubby and family treated me very well, as I got many cozy mysteries and Mary Berry cookbooks too.
Hubby loaded it in the truck and drove it to a friends’ to continue cooking whilst I lit candles and tried not to grumble.
But the above gift was wonderful—After a wait of 16 months!! my Bolivar cutter arrived with double 8 cut shear heads. Tis a thing of beauty. The only thing missing was the number 6 cut heads and I despair of ever having them. The Bolivar is a Canadian Cadillac of wool cutters, unfortunately the small production is not well run.
I liked hearing the Pope’s message and watching a YouTube of four kirks in Scotland sharing Christmas—my father has preached at three of them and it made it really quite special.
Happy Christmas week!!!

Congratulation on your prize cutter. Now we expect lots of wonderful projects on your blog.
I'm sure that Bolivar will be put to good use for many years of hooking. What a perfect gift for a hooker ;-)
Lucky you on the cutter. A great gift. Hope your power came in soon. Janice
Well, you learn something new everyday. I never knew of such cutters. I have a Townsend, which I love...and was saddened when it stopped production... But they have since restarted with new ownership and a new name, but thankfully, the cutter heads from the new company that took over fit the old cutters. (I think I heard that the employees actually took it over....??) Anyways, enjoy! I know you will put it to good use. I would like to peruse a Mary Berry cookbook some day...I've heard of so many fantastic recipes from her and have even saved a few that have been shared. Hope you enjoy these last few days of 2020... We have snow here and it sounds like we are in for more. Surprise, surprise. ~Robin~
Yes we are big fans of Great British BakeOff. Mary has such a calming way about her
Uh oh! I shall try!
Yes it is a cadillac for sure- though Fraser cutters are very pricey now.
We had Christmas dinner around 9:30 pm. Very European
The word is Bolivar got very backed up due to US orders. The exchange being so favourable it was a deal. Love that Mary Berry
