Crafts and Baking

That's what I do...besides taking care of Sydney (of course)! heehee!
Here is my solution for all of Sydney's puzzles. I get sick of the puzzle pieces going everywhere so I made each puzzle a zippered bag. They are made of mesh so she can see each puzzle and everything fits right inside. It works out very well and Sydney has no problems with it.

My mother-in-law, Karen, let me borrowed her sewing serger. I've been wanting to try one for a long time and "Holy Smokes." I'm in love with it! It makes everything look so professional. I used it to make the bags above - it's so fast and makes everything perfect. What's not to love about that?
Onto baking, here is some Mexican Wedding Cookies from this book by one of my favorite baking authors. Her books are great and the pictures are just fabulous to look at.


Yummy cookies covered in powdered sugar and made with pecans from Pa's trees!
