Another Blessing

This week we were blessed with the arrival of little "Samuel Jude"!  A big boy weighing 8 pounds and 8 ounces.  He was welcomed home by big sister Lucy and big brother Eli.  A few mementos were made to honor this special occasion.  His mother made this adorable wreath to hang on her hospital door and then to bring home and hang on her entrance door.

I wanted some onesie cookies to give to

guest as they came by to welcome Samuel. But not the traditional onesies.

So I flooded the cookies and left the

outline of a onesie in the center.  After that dried I came back and flooded the

center in a coordinating color.  Later I applied the little details that make the cookies pop.

Not staying with traditional baby designs I decided to make houndstooth cookies.  This was my first attempt at this design.  After the first few it became a little easier.  The only problem is that you really have to work fast.  The flood icing needs to be wet when you add your second color.  Then you need to drag through the wet icing to get that houndstooth design. 

WELCOME SAMUEL JUDE!
