This is one of our family's all-time favorite cookies, because they incorporate everyone's favorites cookie recipes all into one bite of deliciousness.  My husband loves a good oatmeal cookie, Aaron is all about peanut butter, and Hannie and I, well we just love a good chocolate chip cookie.  So, this recipe is a mix of all of them.  And they are delicious."Cowboy cookie" is our name for them. I know there is another cookie named this that is totally different, but "Peanut Butter Oatmeal Rounds" ... View the Post

Baby Bonnet and skirt. I went to a baby shower a couple of weeks ago and made a quick skirt and ruffly bonnet for the sweet baby girl that is coming. I had seen quite a few tutorials--last summer--for cute baby bonnets and had somehow remembered that they were a rectangle with a casing on the back.

The first thing you are going to do is add an extra 2 inches to the top of your pattern....(or you can make your own pattern by tracing a pair of capris you already have.) You then fold over the top and make the ... View the Post

I got this idea when I was cleaning out my sewing closet and found a bunch of vintage embroidered dish towels that I had found at an estate sale last summer.  I was wondering what to do with them and realized how cute they would be on a skirt.  I know that it's probably not a new skirt idea....but here is my result. This particular embroidered piece is actually a dresser scarf...so it has two embroidered ends.   I took it to my local quilting store to match fabric and I love the way is turned ... View the Post
