Weekend Projects

This weekend, I will be...

decorating these little squares for Halloween!  I was on Pinterest (big surprise there) and I came across these cute Halloween cookies by Lila Loa.  I can't wait to try them!  My middle "Pea" has a Halloween party at his Preschool on Wednesday, so I'm hoping these cuties will go over well with the kids. 

Q & A time...

A lot of people have been asking me how my cookies keep a uniform thickness...believe me, my first batches were NOT!  It was not a pretty sight.  I don't curse much, but I really sounded like Joe Pesci in Casino while making my uneven cookies.  Then, I came across my new baby at Karen's Cookies...

 

An adjustable rolling pin?!  Whaaaaat??  The rolling pin comes with 3 sets of rings (1/6", 1/4" and 3/8"), which you screw in at either end.  The 1/4" thickness works perfect for me.  Hope this helps anyone struggling with uneven dough!!

I'm hoping to divide my time with sewing...my machine feels neglected.  Etsy is also feeling neglected.  Hopefully my husband and children aren't feeling neglected...
