You’ll notice that this recipe makes a very small batch, perfect for making just a few cookies for yourself or to share with your kids one hot Summer afternoon.

She asked me if I had an agent she should speak with (who?and if I already had a book deal in the works (nope!).

It was honestly one of those things that seems like it must be a scam on some level, because who just gets a book deal delivered to them in their inbox on a Thursday afternoon?.Well, it wasn’t quite as simple as that and it’s actually been a pretty interesting little adventure so far, so I thought it would be fun to share a bit of the process with you here every once in awhile.. S0 now here I am, writing this book.If you follow along with me on Instagram, you might already know that because I shared a little celebratory picture of my contract there last month, but other than that, I haven’t really spoken about it much even though I’ve been working on it for months now and I’m actually getting ready to hand in my full manuscript in a little over a month.

I was honestly so nervous about creating something great that you’d love and,  most of all, find.that I kind of psyched myself out at first and just didn’t want to say anything at all.

Actually, during the beginning phases, I decided I didn’t care at all about whether this whole book thing worked out or not because I’ve created a pretty cozy little gig here, writing blog posts and sharing tips and adventures with you!

As I’ve gotten further and further in the process though, I’ve found myself getting more and more excited, because,.When the movie was over, this what I had.

More of a little scarf than a garland really.Yup, I made a house scarf!

And that’s how it stayed.. 2.5 hours of cutting and tying was enough..The fabric I used was a weird stretchy Lycra with a fake burlappy look printed on one side.
