Baking cookies

I got the bright idea to bake some cookies this afternoon while my turkey dogs were cooking. I didn't do it completely homemade since I had cookie mix in a bag in the pantry. Instead of using oil in the cookies, I decided to try them with applesauce. The cookies pretty much tasted the same, but the texture was more like cake than like cookie. The cookies will still be eaten but I'll know not to use applesauce next time. I'll keep that for the brownies and actual cakes. :)

Sewing & crafty things

A few years ago my mother gave me her old sewing machine when she picked up a new one. I really didn't know how to use it much and still don't, but I pulled it out and set it up one night and then purchased the fabric and things to make an apron. My mom was around when I started the job and showed me how to cut the fabric and thread a bobbin, but she left before we did any major sewing. Much to her delight, I finished my apron a few days after she left.. although I have decided to change the neck strap which is going to be fun once I figure out how to make a button hole. =)

I'm off to my next project now and am trying to make a tote/purse which I have discovered is extremely hard to figure out so far. I have all the fabric cut, so we'll see what I come up with. I'll post pics as soon as I can!
