Blossoms

These are my new favorite cookie right now and I have literally baked and brought dozens and dozens of these to work lately. It is the Hershey's Kisses recipe as published in the November issue of MSL and I just love them! I prefer using chocolate stars to actual Hershey's Kisses and I used my 2 tsp. scoop and got about 5 dozen out of each batch which is incidentally just about the number of stars per bag. The only thing I don't like about them is they have to cool for quite some time for the chocolate to firm up before you can stack them in containers, but they are definitely going in the repertoire. These are commonly called "Peanut Butter Blossoms" but that always makes me think of my cousins because they used to call each other "Fart Blossom"! Maybe I should call them that! ;P

Fabric Find

My family got together for Halloween and we girls went out and did some local shopping. We stumbled across a local quilt shop I never knew existed and then to walk in and see front and center--Kaffe Fassett and Amy Butler fabric! I told the proprietor I'd only seen KF fabrics on the rack in London and Amy Butler fabrics in Lacrosse. It was also much cheaper than I could have gotten it online so I was very pleased and will be returning. I came away with a nice little addition to the stash.
