A Sweet Saturday and a Sunday Sketch

Here's some sugar cookies I made.  I didn't make them today, but a couple days ago, I took this picture yesterday and this is what was left.  They turned out pretty good cuz I was worried cuz I tried something new.  I added lemon juice and some milk to the mix because I wanted them chewier cuz last time I made them they were really crunchy.  The day I made these cookies I also made pancakes from scratch, no picture of those cuz my pancakes are never very photogenic.  Take a bite of my cookies if you wish and see what other sweetness is going on over at Sweet Saturdays.

Now here's my piece for Sunday Sketches.  I'm putting it up today because I don't plan on doing much tomorrow.  I'm hoping people will be fanning me and feeding me grapes, or something along that line.
If you can't tell, I'm still working on this, so this one is actually still part sketch, perfect for Sunday Sketches.  On the left I have the background in there, usually I do that last, but I wanted to see how it woulda kinda look finished.  Not to long ago I posted a recipe I made for They Draw and Cook a long while ago (I never heard back from TDAC after I submitted it) and some of you seemed to of enjoyed it.  Well, I wasn't going to make another one, but Pete and Doris wouldn't stop bothering me.  This is one of their favorite meals.  It's a recipe I came up with that combines my five year old's two favorite foods, pizza and chicken (all my three year old ever wants to eat is crackers).  Hopefully I'll finish this soon. 

 I've been working on my new blog and trying to put together a design team.  The new blog is all about my digital stamps, clipart and scrapbooking papers I am now making.  I didn't want to flood this blog with all that, so if ya want, check out Cute Crafty Land.  In a day or two I should be introducing a new design team member.  I'm really excited, she sent me a lovely photo and bio!

For those of you who are mommies, Happy Mother's Day!

  16. YUMMMMMMMMM! Lemon sugar cookies are my favorite and I am like you, the chewier the better. Thanks for sharing. You know I am a huge fan of your style and I love seeing the comic strip in progress. Your colors and line work are always so endearing. Thanks for the b-day comments the other day and I sure hope you downloaded Bo Peep for your niece's room. Happy creating this week and hopefully I will get back to Sunday Sketches soon.
