a list of

THINGS I HAVE MADE RECENTLY:

i made this embroidered knight picture over my winter break. i've been liking primary colors and it looks wonderful on the natural oatmeal colored cotton. i traced the image from a dover book that i got from barnes and noble. it's something i wish i had drawn though.

I made this shrinky dink portrait of gustave, my brother's cat. shrinky dinks are great for small, detailed portraits. i stuck fabric behind him and put it in a shadow box.

this is a necklace i made for my lovely friend chandler, author of her very own craft book! she is like a little baby bunny so i made her a baby bunny necklace with white shrinky dinks. i like to pretend it looks like porcelain.

these are christmas sugar cookies. they look about as good as they tasted - not very. but i gave them to a friend who said they were delicious so maybe they were just not my thing.

these, on the other hand, were delicious. i used this recipe. They were very chewy, oaty and sweet, and the best part - raisin free! this picture doesn't show how tasty they look. i made this recipe again and followed the advice in the comments that said to add more flour, baking soda, and salt, and they turned out not as good. they're equally cookie-y and oat-y, and i like more oat-y than cookie-y. does that make any sense?
