Christmas Cookies!

Since I have been drawing a lot lately, I figured I should switch it up a little today. I made sugar cookies and frosted them Christmas style!

I know baseballs aren't Christmas-y but that one is my favorite.  :)

I used this recipe for the sugar cookies. I changed it a bit though, only used 6 cups flour (I never even got to the 7th cup of flour because my beater's motor sounded like it was going to die), and I never chilled it. This recipe is huge, I think I had about 6 dozen cookies, if I use it again, I will definitely cut it in half.

And I used this recipe for the frosting.

Obviously, I also used a LOT of colored sugar and a couple kinds of sprinkles.

Happy Holidays!

The Key

Hey everybody!  Got a brand new watercolor painting for you. Er, well, what started with a watercolor painting and had much photoshop work. This one has been in the works for a loooong time, but it finally looks good enough for other people to see. :)

Watch for this painting, it will be available as a print soon in my Etsy store. Definitely still excited about that, I got up to 126 items today. Mostly prints but there are a lot of drawings and some paintings for sale too. Check it out: AdorkableDoodles on Etsy.

Fire Gradient Mani

Hey there readers! I've been meaning to post more often but obviously that's been working out well. Here is what my nails look like right now. I, like many others, have been obsessed with The Hunger Games recently and this was my attempt at 'fire nails' or I guess more accurately 'fire gradient nails'.

In those above I used 2 coats Sally Hansen diamond strength nail hardener as a base coat, one coat Sinful Colors Let's Meet, one coat Pure Ice Hot Tamale (thin at the top and getting thicker toward the nail base), two more layers of Let's Meet (one starting in the middle and getting thicker toward the tip of the nail and another just covering the tip) and one coat Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat.

And then below I added a layer of Wet N Wild FastDry Orange and another coat of Seche Vite.

May the odds be ever in your favor!
