I am really enjoying the Elves Workshop Summit. I live in New Zealand so am lucky enough to be able to log in while I am at work. I am learning so much. Loved Lisa Lisson's presentation and am really inspired with @Meghan Yagar the Basic Butter Cookie Dough though I did not see anywhere the oven temperature or the time to cook them. I downloaded the information but that did not have the temperature and a cooking time of 1 & 1/4 hours, which seems a lot though it does make 60 cookies. Maybe someone can help me.

I did not think that I would be interested in @lisalisson's presentation but suddenly I was watching it anyway..... and I was really inspired. I think it is my favorite so far. I think I will be making a family history album for my husband for christmas. He would love that ❤️

I made this magpie stitched piece last week, inspired by the Art of Handmade theme and some local sculpture art. I really enjoyed being present and just putting stitches down without too much thought for the 'proper' way to do it. Maybe I should frame this or put it into a fabric journal? Any ideas?
