Fruit Bouquet
I love Edible Arrangements, they are so pretty and so tasty! But... so expensive! I decided I could make them on my own. All you really need is a cute flower cookie cutter and some time. These were made for a bridal shower as centerpieces. Functional and they taste good, ha.

Initial & Number Shirts
First off, I am a beginner sewer. Last "Black Friday", I saw a sewing machine at Target that was on sale for $50. I thought... its now or never on buying one. So, I took the plunge and trial and error taught myself to sew. My desire was to make cute shirts for my son and other kids in my life. I love those boutique clothes but I am not willing to spend $40 on a shirt that says "M" or other such simplicity. Granted I still sew really slow and try my hardest to make straight lines but I am learning and getting better everyday. Here are some fun things I have made so far!
Royal Icing Cookies
I don't know about you but I love how the cookies that have been professionally iced look, there is just something so delicious about them! I'd say I am an intermediate baker and thought I would give royal icing a try. First up I studied every website out there about opinions on how to make the "right" royal icing. I took a lot of inspiration from The Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle since her cookies are AMAZING! For these cookies I used boxed sugar cookies (gasp!) but it was because I wanted to really spend time with the icing and worry about the cookies later. However, I will say... the boxed sugar cookies turned just as de-lish! Check out my first go at the D-A-D cookies!
