Crafty 2008 (part 1)

I've been cleaning up the photo folders on our computer today. Guess what I found? Tons of "must-blog-about-this-soon" photos, all forgotten an un-blogged! Well, better late then never I suppose, so here are a couple of things I made last year that I really like:


Pink elephant cookies! This photo was taken back in October. I made pink sugar for the first time - super simple; just puree a couple of raspberries, mix them with regular sugar and dry in the oven on low heat. Pretty, tasty and a lot cheaper than sprinkles!


More pink! This is the baby quilt I made for little Stella this Christmas. It's very simple, but I like the colors a lot. I really need to learn proper binding though! What do you think?

  1. ha! i have a section of photos in my flickr for blogging about, but i still haven't, so i fully understand!

    the quilt is super cute, i love the fabric combo, but i'm REALLY enamoured with the cookies. you made your own coloured sugar!? what an amazing idea! it never even occurred to me that you could do that. i've resorted to jello powder (do you have that there?) when i couldn't find the right coloured sugar. what else could you use to colour it?

  2. sugar cookies?I love them! I make my own sparkly coloured sugar by adding a drop or two of food colouring to white granulated sugar!

  4. Thanks guys! Amy, I'm sure you could use pretty much any berries or fruit to color the sugar, blueberries would probably make a very cool purple. And perhaps oranges for yellow? And of course like Cristy said, you could always use food coloring. I prefer the natural way though! :)
