I've decided to console myself with cookies or, since it's fasting month, just a picture of some cookies.
These are the cookies from my daughter's birthday goody bag last week. I bought pink sanding sugar because the little lady loves pink. Now I am spoiled for life. Making pink cookies is just sooooo much more fun making white ones. The baking goods shop has sugar in green! blue! purple! ...Sigh... I'll never be able to make plain old white sugar cookies again.
I was able to be a bit more crafty for the little lady's birthday. Here are her goody bags, made of wrapping paper.
And here's her birthday dress. She calls it her 'rodes' dress (she still has trouble with the 'zzz' sound).
I'm pretty pleased with it. It has box pleats on the bodice, a hand stitched piped neckline, roses on the pleats, and roses on the sleeves. She likes it too. She's worn it 3 times this week.
