Missing Eggs… Found!

We’ve been letting the chickens out the last couple of days and noticed the egg production seemed to go down a bit, It didn’t… they were laying under the shed!

So we did a float test on all SEVEN of the eggs that were found:

The float test is to make sure that all of the eggs are still good. In water the good ones will sink, bad ones float. They were all fine!

Cookie Painting!

I love brothers! Mine like to mess with projects that I’m working on, which can be annoying sometimes but they do give me good ideas once in a while.

I was decorating cookies the other day and had some food coloring laying around to color my icing with. I had a few cookies already decorated and set aside. Pretty soon someone was asking me if it was alright to “paint” one of the decorated cookies with some of the food coloring. I said it was OK and turned back to the cookie that I was decorating not thinking much about it. When I looked back at the cookie that was being painted I saw how nice the color was staying! I wanted to try it too!

So I did!

It is so hard to get colors like this in icing, who knew that I would learn about a decorating technique like this from a brother messing around! 😉

I will definitely be using this method of coloring in the future!

Pin curls!

I love pin curls! They were a little difficult for me to master, and I will admit I got a little frustrated the first few times I tried them, but I am starting to get the hang of it and am really enjoying experimenting! More posts on pin-curls to come in the future, and maybe even a tutorial!
