Aloha All,

Another Halloween gone and I have to start the countdown until next year This is my favorite holiday of the year. Maybe we could add a second Halloween in April. There is Christmas in summer so why not Halloween in spring!

Today I found a special package on the front step, it was my “Indians” baseball. I have to say it is fabulous, Angela Shaddon the owner of “Little Shop Around the Corner” did a spectacular job. It is perfect! Check her out on Facebook , some of the items she has finished are featured. Your LNS can always send your project to be finished by her.

I know I have it placed on spider legs and I think it looks just adorable, semi Halloween.

Today I thought I would be a cookie chef. Not for a moment did I think that the beautifully decorated Cookies I have seen on different blogs would be so challenging. Well, three batches of icing later I ended up with these.

I wish they were mine , but sadly these are my fabulously decorated cookies,

Halloween Cookies

I did do my homework and checked out several tutorials. They made it sound so easy. I made the Royal Icing, but when it came to icing the cookies, that was a different story. Before going forward I tasted the icing and thought, yuck! It was awful. Next I tried to make black buttercream frosting, it ended up tasting like the food coloring. I refused to give up, I had all these sugar cookies in need of frosting. Thanks to Cooking Classy I found a very tasty frosting, Honey Cream, and I slathered it on after coloring it of course. As you can see my cookies look just like the ones children make. I have a “newfound” respect for anyone who can decorate a cookie like the ones pictured above!

From now on I am sticking to stitching, it is sooo much easier and more relaxing than trying to decorate cookies.

Have a great day and keep on stitching.
