Working on something new.... this is JUST the start... It's for my typography class believe it or not!

From Christmas 2009

Today was supposed to be my last day on this show... Alas it wasn't to be. However it was still the last day for many other people so it was time to bring on the presents. There is 30+ people in the wardrobe on this show and giving them all something cheap that they won't throw out as soon as they are home is difficult. I saw the cowboy cookies on Bakerella's site and thought I could do something similar! And it was a huge hit!
I tried Bakerella's cowboy cookies recipe but it didn't work out for me. I think it might just be me. But I adapted another chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe I found online. I bought christmas colored M&m's, 2 dozen jars, and went for it.... One evening was spent making the label (the instructions are on the back - it is just a legal sized paper cut ad taped on - nothing fancy) and two evenings spent filling the jars. It could go faster but I found a canning funnel essential so that meant doing them one at a time....
Everyone loved them. I knew I didn't have enough for everybody but there is always someone with an allergy and someone on a diet so when I left today there was still 2 left. Perfect. Whew....
I'm so glad.... I highly recommend it! It still probably cost $100 for all the ingredients and the jars but for $24 people that is a $4 gift that I couldn't duplicate anywhere else.
YIPPEE.
Now I guess I better start my homework that is due tomorrow!

I'm trying to get going on a wearable art entry.... It's been a slow start. With sewing all day at work the last thing I want to do is sew some more when I get home... But it is starting to turn into something so I'm getting more and more interested in it.
As usual I'm making it up as I go along..... One of these days it isn't going to be such a good idea. So far so good though.

here is a little sneak peek.
Not going to as big as past years. Just don't have the energy or room these days!

From Type 2 stuff

my evil homework. Don't think about trying this at home unless, well, unless you don't have a life. Or carpal tunnel.

There will be NO photos. I do not have a talent for this... They will be going in the garbage. UGH!

A friend at work doesn't believe I bake.

I'm not much of a cook so this isn't surprising.

To prove her wrong I am attempting Bakerella's red velvet cake pops today.
(I snuck the photo from Bakerella! don't they look amazing!!!)
I've made red velvet cupcakes before but I never seem to find the same recipe so we are trying this one. So far it seems ok. I'm waiting for michaels to open so I can pick up the candy sticks (They are probably open now - I'm good at procrastinating)
I'll try and update with some photos later - if I don't eat them all!
