Oatmeal Cookies

Although I've baked snickerdoodle, chocolate snowballs, and chocolate chip cookies many, many times, I rarely make oatmeal cookies. I love anything with oats in it, though, and I really love oatmeal cookies. 

I don't like to add any thing like nuts or raisins in them. For me, plain is the way to go!

I used the recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It's a great, simple oatmeal cookie recipe, which is just what I like. And as usual, I substituted the all-purpose flower for whole wheat flower.

Project 52: Week 42

Daniel was having fun playing space ship with the laundry baskets in the living room. I don't have to many portraits of him, so when I saw that the lighting was perfect, I took a few quick shots. I love how this one turned out.

Autumn Leaves

Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

I Heart Faces - Tickled Pink

For this weeks I Heart Faces theme, Tickled Pink, it was pretty simple to figure out who I would be entering a photo of. Pink is my sister Tiana's favorite color and she happens wear a bit of it. The photo I choose is from back in February. It's one of my favorites; I love how she's looking away from the camera and the editing, which sadly I can't remember how I did it. 

Project 52: Week 40

{40/52}

Lately I've been busy working on my first quilt. I have already cut and sewed together all of the rows for the top and now I need to to the basting (pinning the back, batting, and top pieces together), so I can start the quilting part.

I like how the measuring tape that I was using was spiraling out.
