I found the cutest pattern for a sweet little Yoshi.
It took a few evenings to work up and get him to look the way that I wanted him to–still not sure about the eyes, but we’ll see. It’ll do for now.
It is easily worked in simple pieces so I’m thinking I may need a few more in all different colors.
This might be a bit addictive.

Been quite a while since this sweet little face has shown up here–right? Well, Miss Chomp and her cute friend Piper got the baking bug one day….
and decided that a boat-load of Oatmeal Farm Cookies were in order.
Which, in my humble opinion–is ALWAYS a good idea!
And then they got real creative and added chocolate chips to the tops. Such a brilliant generation to compliment perfection. Heh, heh.
Pretty sure I’d buy anything these little cuties were selling–wouldn’t you?
Solid win.
I love you Miss Chompy!
Down 9.2 pounds in two weeks!
That’s pretty good, considering I made Valentine cookies–ate quite a few–
AND won a chocolate cake from Magleby’s!! THAT was a bit rough to resist, but it had more points than I get in a whole day! No thanks.
Luckily, I have a son who is ready, willing and able to make those temptations disappear! Haha.
Seriously though guys, I’m having a lot of fun with this Weight Watchers stuff. It’s huge to me that I can choose whatever food I want and just count the points. I’ve eaten out several times –Kneaders, Arby’s, Pizza Hut–and still lost big.
Oh, and frozen fruit is my new best friend.
I can totally do this.
This Valentine’s Day I was positively determined to have the best Grammy treats in the history of Grammy treats–for when the kids came with their Valentines.
I have no idea if I pulled it off–but for me, it was pretty close.
I made a lovely little butter cookie dough and at the last minute, I added the remaining bits of the freeze-dried strawberries (mostly pink dust) from the can in the cupboard.
That’s what all the red flecks are that you see in the dough.
In the summertime, I saw this sweet little cookie cutter stamp from William Sonoma.
For some reason, it just melted my heart and I couldn’t resist.
The press was so much fun to use and sooo easy.
Anyway, I think they are simply adorable…don’t you?
As I was painting little jelly hearts in the center of each one the nursery rhyme about the Knave stealing the Queen’s tarts kept going through my head.
His cookies look a lot like mine–only way bigger.
Mine are the perfect size–and worth stealing all the same.
