Caption: BEADWORK SUGAR COOKIES
Picture
Caption: Yesterday, we were cleaning out my sister-in-law's storage unit for her, and came across a few boxes that belong to us, that we had stored, over 5 years ago. I started digging through and found this beadwork medallion bracelet that I've had for years. I put it on my wrist and didn't think much about it, until late last night. I couldn't sleep and when I can't sleep, I bake. I glanced at the bracelet and inspiration struck me.

Caption: I've always been enthralled with Navajo seed beadwork since I was a kid, living in Arizona. It's so intricate and deliberate, and teaches patience and a steady hand. I am hoping the same delicate, deliberate work shows through with these sugar cookies.

Caption: One of my favorite things to hear is "this is too pretty to eat" because then I know I accomplished what I set out to do. Create a memory, an edible experience, create the unexpected and make it taste good, too.

Caption: When it comes to baking and decorating, nothing is unattainable. It's only a matter of keeping your mind open and your hand steady and the ability to transform something as simple as a sugar cookie into something beautiful and memorable. I hope you enjoyed going on this journey with us.
