Felt Cookie Set

Following this tutorial at The Mother Huddle, I decided to make my niece a little felt cut out cookie set to go along with her little chicken apron.

The stitches are incredibly ugly.  Oh, well.  I was slightly pressed for time and I would have preferred a tidy blanket stitch, but whatever.  I also did the cookie itself in a little bit of a darker thread to indicate that it had been cooked.
I found the mini rolling pin at my local Ace hardware.
The yellow cookie cutter was in my drawer.  I was going to do a star, but I didn't like it.  I really liked the one in the tutorial, but given the pathetic state of the St. Paul roads, I did not feel like driving out to an antique store to find one.

I added a little foil cookie sheet to the set:

Don't forget to ice them:

And then I put everything together.  The only thing I didn't have was the spatula and I liked her idea with the little box, but I didn't have one and kept forgetting to look for one.
Ugh.  Blurry.

And I put one of those gift bags and gift tags to good use:

    1. The gift bags? Two were sent in her box, so she'll have some more.

    2. And I was just upstairs earlier eyeballing some fabric for future bags. I have a great red and white stripe one and some blue xmas tree fabric.
