December 22 button ornament

 

Mom and I went to daughter Carol's house for lunch yesterday. Carol made a scrumptious cauliflower soup, and we were able to taste test her very first cannolis! They were delicious.

When we returned home, Mom took her afternoon nap and I tatted!

    1. The five points look a bit wimpy to me, but I don't have the brain power to improve them right now!

  2. I had to look up cannolis, sounds scrumptious.
