Hello Everyone! I just love Halloween. It’s this little blip of something completely different in the middle of Fall to snap me out of the “colder weather funk.” Since I had my girls it’s been even better. This year the girls are going as Elsa and Anna. I knew it would happen eventually. Miss Evelyn… Continue reading Halloween Cookies
Hello everyone! Well! Fall is here, suddenly, furiously, and I fear that the coat-free days are done. Who am I kidding? It’s October. Time to let Summer go. It’s always around this time of year when I go into this strange state of denial. Winter and cold weather are not my friends. The only consolation lies… Continue reading Fall Apple Cookies
Hello Everyone! Earlier this summer I made up a batch of cookies for a 60th wedding anniversary. Their daughter wanted to surprise them with cookies at the party. She wanted it to be fairly simple in design, just two colors, and some sparkle. And of course it had to feature their signature initials “BanD”. Miss… Continue reading Diamond Anniversary Cookies
Hello Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend. The weather was beautiful up here in New Hampshire. Before we start thinking about Fall too much I wanted to share one last summer hurrah with these beachy cookies. One of the long time librarians was retiring this year and you can guess… Continue reading Beach Starfish and Sand Dollars
Hello Everyone! This past weekend I made up some flamingo and palm tree cookies for a little princess who was turning one. I got the cutters over a month ago and drew up some sketches almost immediately. Then I put them away. While I’m always excited to try a new design, I have to admit… Continue reading Flamingos and Palm Trees

I just really love all of these for their delicate design, but also for the simplicity in color. This was a lesson in getting icing consistency correct and… Continue reading Baptism Cookies for Maya (part 2)
Hello Everyone! A few weeks ago I made some baptism cookies for my cousin’s baby. I got to try a technique I saw a while ago from Sweet Sugarbelle called quilting. Well, I don’t have a projector, but I do have candy markers and a nice straight edge spatula. Between the two I was able… Continue reading Baptism Cookies for Maya
Hello Everyone! You know, my favorite time in summer is when the black-eyed susans start to bloom. I love them because they just scream “It’s summer!” and they last forever, well into the fall at my house, adding some lovely orange accents to the season. They feed the little birds and require next to no maintenance.… Continue reading Bumblebees and Black-eyed Susans
Hello Everyone and Happy Independence Day! I hope everybody has been enjoying this long beautiful weekend. We’ve been spending time with family, eating all the classic bad-for-you summer type foods, and getting some pool time in. I love the 4th for the fireworks celebrations too of course. This year because Miss Samantha is still… Continue reading Stars, Stripes, and Fireworks
Hello Everyone, Sorry I was absent last week. We were on vacation visiting family out of state. Twelve hour car ride with the little ones was an adventure to say the least! But, we’re back now. On to cookies! For this week I have some dinosaurs for you. Why dinosaurs you ask? Because… Continue reading Dinosaurs and Eggs
