Coooookies!

I've been daydreaming of making cookies all week. So I finally did tonite. I made TONS of sugar cookies using the No Fail Sugar Cookie recipe I got off of cakecentral.com. Then it was time to decorate. Crap--this is taking longer than making the actual cookie!! I only decorated 6!!! I thought it would be easy. Wrong. Mine were struggling. Hard core. Behold:





The BYU cookies I cut freehand, so they're not all the same size like I'd like them to be. Oh well.

And for all interested, the progress on my watercolor:



There will be more chess pieces in that empty space at the top. Next week is our last class---uh...are we supposed to be finished by then??? I still feel clueless in there. Oh well. It was fun to learn, but I have a feeling I will not become addicted to watercolor. Maybe if I had more time to dedicate to it. Our teacher is so funny, a complete artist. Always telling us to do "what our souls tell us". Sooo touchy-feely. Nice, though.

I'm working on some booties for Derrick's co-worker. They're pretty cute so far-I'll post the pair when I'm done. Hopefully by Sunday. When I'm done nursing my sick husband back to health.
