Every Little Detail with Aproned Artist: Dimensional Coneflower and Bumblebee
I love flowers of all kinds, but I have a special fondness for flowers that look a little unique. The coneflower, with its spiky, vibrantly colored seed cone and skirt of purple petals, definitely fits the bill. Apparently, bees are just as partial to them as I am, so...

So sorry, all, to do this again. I am in serious crunch mode here with back-to-back deadlines for my new kits and managing my mom's move here (which has been a roller-coaster; selling a 200+-year-old house and clearing 50 year's worth of stuff is no small task!). I'm likely to be flaky like this through November, so please bear with me. This weekend, I will be making cookies like a wild woman for my November 15 release while voicing over and editing videos for next week's release, all while...Read More...

But “original” comes in both formats and the stick has a teensy bit more fat content per the label (not just the same formula packaged differently). My limited experience with vegan cookies using plant-based butter is that they are a bit greasy and sometimes lead to butter bleed through the icing (ask me how I know!). Is the tub the...Read More...
