Sewing Up A Storm

I've been doing a bunch of sewing lately. Tons of dresses for Lauren, and some shirts for my sisters-in-law (or is it sister-in-laws? Doesn't matter...) and I have some projects on the horizon that I'm thinking about and figuring out how I want to do. I need to get pictures and post them soon, maybe I'll get that done today so I can start posting tomorrow.

Lots of baking has been going on here, too. A few good recipes from The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook (thank you, Jayna) and more planned from the Pink Princess Cookbook and the Pink Princess Tea Parties cookbook.

Plenty of plans, a few finished projects, and now I'm just looking for some time to get a bit more done. Hope to post soon!

Finnish Christmas Stars

Well, here you go. I made these over our Christmas vacation and they were a HUGE hit! Thanks to Lea over at Atomic Kitchen for the recipe. :D


I had to change the recipe a little bit because I couldn't find plum marmalade, so I used blackberry jam instead. They were gone in about two minutes.

BAKING!

Ok, so it must seem like the title of my blog is misleading since I have not posted ANY pictures of anything I have baked. Just for the record, I did make chocolate chip cookies today - from scratch, no less - but posting a picture of that seems a little silly. They're just cookies. Someday when I do a really cool cake or something that takes more talent, I will post a picture. Come to think of it, I guess I could post a picture of some Finnish Christmas Stars I made over the holidays...
