we have cookies!

here are most of the selection of our cookies... minus the broomstick, apples and pumpkins.. they aren't finished decorating yet.

The icing recipe is great and can be found here
I made this with lemon flavoring cuz I had it in the pantry... but any extract would do!


And I must show the latest in chiengora that is spun and plied... from a friend's samoyed:


Quite soft.... I have to do the wpi and weigh and measure the skeins... right now I'm spinning from the shelties. It's mostly the dark fur... should make an interesting yarn though
