Marshmallow-tailed bunnies! I made a big batch of sugar cookies for the Mom’s Club Easter Party, which sadly got promptly put in the freezer after the party was postponed due to last week’s freak snow storm. I just heard today that the party has been cancelled, so these cookies again saw the light of day […]
A dear friend of mine is getting married this May to her partner of many, many years. I am so honored that she asked me to make her wedding dress for her! I feel blessed that I get to use my skills as a means of showing love and support for her. L wants something […]
