Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

 This makes a nice small batch of cookies.  Just enough for a few people. You can double the recipe, easy peasy, if you want more. I like that I have all the ingredients on hand.  Today it's over 60 degrees! I'm so happy!

Ingredients:
1 Stick of butter
1/2 Cup of Sugar
1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup of flour
Cinnamon and sugar for rolling dough.

 Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Measure out flour into a bowl and set aside.
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar.
Add Vanilla.
Slowly add flour to the butter mixture. 
Mix Well until you have a soft dough.
Scoop up a Tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. 
Roll in some cinnamon and sugar. 
Place on a greased cookie sheet. Unless you have one of those cool Silpat mats...I wish!
Place balls on sheet and press down a bit to flatten.
Bake at 350F degrees for 10-12 Minutes until edges are a golden brown. 
Cool on wire rack. Makes about 25 cookies.

Baby Doll Clip

It came to me in a dream. Ok, actually when I was staring off into space for my very own 5 minutes of me time, I figured it out. Like most baby toys, I prefer them to hook to something.   I'm constantly picking up what she's dropping.  At the grocery store, I like to hook a toy on the cart if it's going to be more than 20 minutes.

I got this little $1 baby doll with blue eyes like My Baby. She loves it.

So, I decided if it was going to travel, it was going with a clip.  I got some ribbon, and sewed it on the back underdress of the doll. What a Super Easy thing to do and worked out great.  Just a suggestion for those in the same situation!

Hope it helps!

Embroidered Pillow Case

Brooke's new pillowcase

 I have two twin nieces who just turned 3.  I hope they liked these.  I embroidered each with their name.

Once they are washed, they'll look really great. I love how embroidery thread pops.  It is made of rayon, instead of cotton, so they have a nice sheen.

We're also introducing our newest item at our Chicago Bench Etsy Shop.

Possibly my favorite part! One block of this tree.

Our Doug Fir Modern Rustic Lamp.  My husband made it from one piece of reclaimed Doug fir.  You can see the tree rings so clearly.  It's beautiful! You can check it out more here.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. What did you do?
