M.I.A.

hey faithful readers, sorry that i've been missing in action lately. my project team has been wrapping up the design phase of our project so it's been a pretty stressful past few weeks. plus, i caught the seasonal flu and was out of commission for a week. but, i'm all better now and looking forward to the holidays!

i was reminded today about this blog...about how it's not just a sewing blog and about how i haven't posted in a LONG time. so i wanted to take the chance to post about some cookies i baked and decorated for my co-workers here in denver.

i baked the cookies in houston over the weekend, but didn't have time to decorate them. so i made the icing and stored them in small pyrex containers the night before i had to fly back to denver. the total volume of liquid was too much to fit in a 1-quart plastic bag so i had to check in my luggage...all because of the icing! i carried on the cookies because i didn't want to risk breaking them. i then decorated the cookies last night here in denver and below is the end product. i had to make do with less decorating tools/supplies than i normally have...hence, some of the sloppy work. but overall, i'm still happy with the end result!

if you want to make the perfect sugar cookie that is soft, moist, and tasty...paired with a tasty icing that dries hard and shiny, let me know and i'll email you my personal instructions and recipe for making yummy sugar cookies!
