Starflake Cookies

I shouldn't have photographed these on a silver platter as it really washed out the color, but I'm too lazy to photo them again.

Gingerbread Cake

This is the cake I made while at my sister's learning to properly use fondant.

Snowman Bundt Cake

I bought this pan on clearance 2 years ago and almost forgot to use it again.

Cute?

Mindy's Christmas Train Cake

While at my sister's house for Thanksgiving she showed me how to properly work with fondant. It was so much easier than when I tried it myself. I can't believe I put myself through that! Look how cute her train cake is!

Christmas Mittens

My sister wanted me to help her out with the royal icing so she could see the consistency I use and what I consider my 15 seconds before the drag in the icing closes. I hope she got it because I feel really unclear after showing her lol. I just know it works for me.

These are the few that Mindy thought were rejects. Poor little mittens. Sure were tasty.

Dinosaur Cookies

My nephew got me some awesome dinosaur cookie cutters for Christmas which I was able to use while visiting for Thanksgiving.

Some of the cookies suffered the casualty of moving and rearranging along with sneaky eaters. Despite their unfortunate accidents, I love the wounded cookies.

Half Apron

I don't own any half aprons so I thought I'd make one.

If I do this again I would make it a bit smaller. It's functional and all, but just think it'd be cuter if it were a little smaller. Sorry, no model available so you'll have to use your imagination as to what it looks like when worn.


My sewing buddy.

Calm

Life can be stressful. I know I go through my fair share. I just found this site and I love it!

Take a couple minutes and calm yourself. 

Doggie Bed

I've been looking for a bed for Schubert, but haven't found anything really cute and sturdy. Mozart went through so many beds before we found one he wouldn't destroy that I have no doubt he'll go right through Schubert's beds as well. I decided to take on this endeavor myself with a twist on the classic tie blankets. 

So far I haven't been able to get Schubert to actually lay on the thing, but he's getting closer.

It's cheap enough and easy enough to make that it won't be nearly as infuriating when Mozart shreds the thing.

Doggy Bands

Schubert peed on the floor 4 times in a 20 minute span on Saturday. He hasn't had any accidents since, but my paranoia led me to research belly bands for male puppies.

The idea behind the bands is that you can use absorbent pads with them to keep your floors clean and the puppy does not like the feeling of being soiled so they'll learn not to mark within the house.

We'll see how these go!
