So I think I mentioned that I crushed on this month’s Land of Nod/Land of Nothing I Can Afford gifts catalog. Naturally, instead of purchasing anything from it, I placed it under my pillow and dreamed of cookie designs that matched the artful Christmas gifts inside. Among them, was the silly tree I obsessed about yesterday, and a bunch of other animated cuties.
Birdie ornaments. “Putting a bird on it” still makes everything cuter in my world, especially when it really just amounts to layered blobs of wet-on-wet icing, like this roly-poly bird:
Or this retro classic chicken of sorts:
I also fell for the sleeping gingerbread house, with its dotty roof and rounded eyelids. Sweet dreams indeed!
OMG – the sleeping gingerbread house is so incredibly cute!!
At first I thought liked the polka dotted bird best but on second look that roly-poly guy is darned cute. They’re all are!
Put a bird on it! Love, love love the birds and the sleepy gingerbread houses – you’re a genius!
The tree rules. And I love and hate Land of Nod (obviously) for all the reasons you alluded to. Sigh.
You are an artist.
OH MY GOODNESS! These are the cutest Christmas cookies ever! My favorites are the house and the tree~Adorable!!!
