I found this pretty, felt coaster project on Twig & Thistle's 5 Days of Felt post. I've been on the lookout for new coasters since mine disappeared into thin air! This seems like a pretty easy project to make. I just need to buy some pretty colored felt now. =)
I've been busy printing, cutting and writing Christmas cards today. It's taking forever! Have a great weekend!
Apricot Bow Ties (or Kolaches) (Recipe by Debbie Reid via Fine Cooking) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and paddle. With the mixer on low, gradually mix in the flour until a smooth dough forms.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and the dough gently to form a ball. Divide the dough in thirds, wrap each in plastic wrap, and flatten into squares. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Heat the oevn to 400 degrees F. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Remove one piece of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, trim the rough edges of the dough so the sides are straight, and then cut into 2-inch squares. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the preserves onto the center of each square. Fold one corner into the center, dab with the beaten egg, and then bring the opposite
corner into the center and pinch firmly together to seal the corners. With a thin spatula, transfer the cookie to the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Bake one sheet at a time until golden and very lightly browned and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely and then dust with confectioner’s sugar.
How clever and cute are these Poloroid picture frames?? So sad Poloroid cameras have been discontinued. But you can get the same look with these Photojojo frames! Wouldn't they make a nice stocking stuffer?
