Yesterday Kiera and I had a few ladies over for some baking and crafting.
First we mixed up the gingerbread cookie dough that I did not realize had to chill for at least 2 hours before cutting out cookies, so I added extra flour and hoped 1 hour would do. The girls got to take turns with measuring and pouring, so it worked out that we doubled the recipe that I found here. Oh and we used brown sugar instead of sucanat (sugar cane).
So while we waited for the dough we got out our wreath forms, fabric and hot glue gun.
I forgot to get a picture of Julie's wreath. She made a pretty flower with the fabric.
After their wreaths were covered in their fabric of choice (which happen to match) they added some embellishments.
Some burlap squares and a bow.
Their finished wreaths!
After the wreaths we cleared the table and enjoyed some sticky rice with sea weed that our friends brought to share. It was yummy!
The dough was still pretty sticky but the girls were not afraid to use a little extra flour. ;)
No, that's not snow or powdered sugar... it's flour. haha
A little flour sprinkling for the baking fairies. Or they might have been ice fairies...
A pretty flower clip made by a multi-tasking mama.
And of course you have to finish any girl day with nail polish. :)
It was such a sweet time! We need to make this a regular thing for sure.
Sad to have missed it.
