Now to the Cookies!!!

Caribe & Courtney joined me on Saturday to make Easter cookies! Courtney continues to be our inspiration and she is a good little instructor! The bunnies turned out so adorable with the touch of green icing!Now on to the cute little chicks...they were decorated with modified royal icing and then dipped in colored sugar for a finishing touch!

This was the lone tulip...when cutting out the cookies I thought perhaps the tulip would be difficult to frost but I should have made more...they are so cute!

The carrots turned out cute!!!

I am a regular visitor to Annies Eats and used her sugar cookies recipe. The modified royal icing recipe can be found @ Wilton under the forum area.

Easter Decor'

It is always enjoyable to dress up the house for spring and Easter and as you can see the shelf above the door that leads to the deck is perfect for such.

This year I chose to display some faux spring flowers along with some star pillows that I created from wool felt. There are three pillows on display although they are not all visible in this particular photo. One star is done on white wool felt with pink tulips that are blanket-stitched on, while another pillow is done on pink wool felt with an adorable chick also blanket stitched on. The third pillow, that you are not able to see is done on a green wool felt with a bunny rabbit stitched on.

As my husband would share, there are four large "bins" full of spring-related "things"! To me they are treasures, much like everything in HIS BARN (HIS RULES, you know). And speaking of treasures, I count him as a very special one!
