A few firsts...

Today was a snow day, and you know that I LOVE snow days.   It's probably a "hidden" requirement for the teaching profession -- look forward to and enjoy those snow days!  So... today, I'm not sure what got into me, but I was on a roll.  First up was to try making a set of these microwave bowl holders.  My stash of fabric needs to shrink, so this seemed like a good project to help with that.  They are a bit "wonky" looking, but I think they will do their job.

The other thing I really wanted to do today was decorate cookies.  I've never tried using royal icing for cookie decorating.  Today was the day to try.  Not bad for my first attempt, but I must say, this task took a whole lot more effort than I expected!  Now it's time to put my feet up and have a cup of tea.
