Flower Button Cookies

These cookies were for a friend's baby shower. She wanted pink flower button cookies. The sugar cookie recipe I used was No Fail Sugar Cookies and Antonia Royal Icing. I love using this particular icing. It dries fast and it taste good too.

I actually wanted to put holes through the cookies, but it didn't turn out so well..... I'm still working on that part. But for the most part, it does look like a button....right?

I made about 50 cookies in all. My friend was pretty happy with the results.

I had some extra cookies left over so I decided to practice designing for my next project. Averie's 1st birthday party is coming up and I plan on making balloon sugar cookies as favors. I need to make about 70 cookies, so I wanted something simple and cute. The color themes are purple, lavender and pink. I plan to have tons and tons of balloons everywhere....hence the balloon design.

So cool!!!!

CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!!!!!!!

As some of you guys know, I've been selling my crochet hats, cards, hair clippies on etsy. These past two months has been busier....for obvious reasons. Anyways, one of my customer name Bethany, was nice enough to email me a photo of her daughter wearing the hat I made for her. She about the same age as Averie.

Isn't she just adorable! You gotta love that smile!

I made these button cookies as party favors- celebrating their 1st birthday party. The theme was "Cute as a button."

hats...hats...hats!!!

Since I've been home with Averie. I've beenworking on my hobbies during her nap time. It's been so perfectly awesome. Here are some hats that I just finished. Isn't Averie the perfect hat model??

Hair Clips

I've been trying to find cute hair clips for my 6 month old. Surprisingly, I could not find anything to my taste - some were too big, down right ugly, some a choking hazard......etc. So, I decided to make my own. Which is perfect, because Averie can have one in every color and design. Why didn't I think of this before???
