Taking time away from unpacking boxes for a small package of cookies (no photos of the cookies, uhmmm…just this). The recipes are sooo good, though – thought I would share.
I used this recipe for the sunflower seed butter and jelly cookies. If you clicked on the link, you’ll notice that it is *peanut butter* and jelly. I just mixed it up a little bit. Also, use any kind of preserves you like. I had strawberry-guava on-hand and that’s what I used. Yum.
The lemon ricotta cookies recipe is right here. I didn’t make the glaze, though. So sad, I know. The glaze would have been excellent, but I decided against it. Two reasons: the hot weather and via USPS. Yikes. The glaze would look a little funky, right?
Glaze=no. Cookies=yes.

My “Cousteau” fabric that I recently received from Spoonflower, and the small pillow that I had sewn with it.

Now…back to work!
This post has been hanging out in my “drafts” folder.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. We spent our holiday in Laguna Beach with my husband’s family. It was 80° outside – crazy! It is November, right? Okay. Just the wrong place to be when you want to wear sweaters, scarves, and mittens and feel the cool, crisp air hit against your face, and sip your favorite warm beverage by a fireplace. Ah… just daydreaming for a second. Back to the reality of it all: We had a delicious Thanksgiving feast at this restaurant, stayed at a hotel for three nights (and took iPhone photos of the interior textiles – what a nerd), had two mini family reunions (on the husband’s side), and drank enough coffee to make us sick. Have you ever experienced a Thanksgiving like this before?

We hit the road tomorrow for a short 10-hour drive home. Ha!
Autumn leaves from our neighborhood:
