Pillowcase!

I made my very first pillowcases using these instructions.  It was so simple.  The hardest part for me is cutting fabric.  I get nervous! I buy something pretty just to cut it up!

More Passport Sleeves

Oh how I love these!  I made a couple for friends....

Passport Sleeve

I wanted a small project for a Saturday afternoon, so I made a passport sleeve! I followed this very simple tutorial over at SewBunnyBum. It fits perfectly, but I wasn't perfect with the seams... oh well. Now all I need is a reason to actually use it. :)

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies You Will Ever Eat

A while back I started trying out a bunch of chocolate chip cookie recipes to find the perfect one.  The winner for me is the Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe over at allrecipes.com.  I could never get the chips to poke out on the top, or they would spread and look weird -- but these do AND have that amazing gooey center and crisp edge and stay soft the next day!  They are amazing and now my ONLY chocolate chip cookie recipe to use.  I follow the recipe exactly.

Save some for later!: I make a full batch of these and scoop little balls (2 Tablespoon size) onto a jelly roll pan lined with wax paper.  I freeze them and dump them into a freezer bag to make as needed.
