Potholder and Cookies

Hi everyone I’m excited to be back for another Ultimate Blog Challenge and I’ve have been so busy since July! I know it’s not Friday but I have so much to tell you I need more than one day a week so ma said I could have a Tuesday Storytime by Lia! I was so excited when my Aunt Jasmine asked me to be in her wedding! It was the second week of August so I had a few weeks after my 4K graduation to make her a gift! My story today is about a potholder and cookies.

Potholder

I love making potholders so I decided to make her a colorful potholder. I love adding so many colors together and they are fun to make. The only part I need help on is taking it off the loom so I let ma help me with that. She used to make potholders when she was a little girl and we even have one of hers in the kitchen!

When I was all finished I started looking for a box to put it in. Most of you know ma saves everything and she found a candy box with a heart shaped cover that was perfect for my potholder gift! I even made a little label using the Canva program. I was so excited for the wedding so I could give it to Aunt Jasmine.

Cookies

The week of the wedding I stayed at a beach house with my grandma Thelma, grandpa Steve, daddy and Aunt Jasmine so we could all get ready. Since I didn’t have time to bake, ma made some cookies and brought them over so I could frost them for grandma, we had a fun time doing that.

I started out with my famous Italian cookies and made purple frosting with sprinkles! These seem to be everyone’s favorite when I have my Alzheimer’s Fundraiser bake sale! You know I love my sprinkles!

I’ve made these brownie cookies before and they were oh so good so ma made a batch of those too. I had extra frosting so I decided to make sandwich cookies! They are my style of an Oreo but yummier!

We all had a fun day decorating cookies and playing UNO and SORRY Slider! Of course I won UNO, that’s my favorite game!

Aunt Jasmine’s Wedding

The next day would be Aunt Jasmine’s wedding and I was so excited and a little nervous too since I have never been in a wedding. The wedding was held on the beach and my aunt was so beautiful in her wedding gown. I will be sharing more on the wedding for my next Story Time by Lia but here is a sneak peak of me at the wedding!

      I still have one hanging in the kitchen that I made when I was about Lia’s age Sheryl! Way back then we used heavy cotton loops, now they are poly!
