Adventure & Giveaway

I had a little baking adventure this weekend.  For a long time I’ve wanted to buy a kitchen scale – mostly because I see so many recipes on non-US blogs that give ingredients by weight, rather than volume.  I discussed a scale purchase with TheManoftheHouse and he poo-poo’d the idea.  His reasoning was that my culinary skills have survived just fine so far and therefore I didn’t really need one.  So, I did what any self-respecting wife who really wants something would do — I went and got one anyway and “snuck” it into the kitchen. 

Scales

TheManoftheHouse walked into the kitchen, just after I had installed the batteries.  (Busted!)  “So, how does it work” he said.  “See for yourself” I replied and I placed the stick of butter that says 4 ounces on the scale.  That was that.  He was sold.  (He’s easy.)

Now to try it out.  A few weeks ago, my blog buddy Anne in Scotland (you know how I love me my Scottish bloggers!) shared some cookie recipes and I really wanted to try them.  I decided Anne’s recipe would be perfect for the inagural run of the new scale.  First up was 3 ounces of sugar.  I took a wild guess and scooped up 1/2 cup of sugar and poured it on the scale. 

Scales

A little bit too much, so I removed some until it hit 3.  I’ve read some volume-to-weight converts say that they think measuring by weight is more accurate and easier than by volume.  I’ll definitely concede that it’s more accurate, but it doesn’t seem easier to me.  Scooping up a cup just seems easier than putting an ingredient on the scale and then adding or removing to hit the right weight.  It’s not a big deal though, just different.

Next up, was the flour.  The recipe called for 5 ounces, so I guessed with a cup of flour.  This time it wasn’t quite enough. 

Scales

I was beginning to feel like goldilocks here!  Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything else to weigh — I’m betting I would have found the just right size on the third attempt! 

Anyway, I made Anne’s Melting Moments.  TheManoftheHouse gave them his stamp of approval, and he’s pretty picky about his cookies.   I wasn’t too sure about the cherries, so I saved one without a cherry and pressed an M&M into it when it came out of the oven.   It wasn’t necessary — I loved them just the way Anne’s recipe suggested. 

Scales

I also made Anne’s Mars Bars Cakes.  Anne suggested that what they call a Mars Bar is what we call a Milky Way, so that’s what I used.  I molded them into little nests and added some jellybean eggs.  They’re yummy — they taste like chocolate rice krispy cookies.

Scales

Thanks for sharing your recipes Anne!  And, if you’re a US cook and you’ve been on the fence about a kitchen scale, jump in.  I heard on a radio cooking show several months ago that within the next five years all cookbooks in the US will be published with weights in them, so you might as well be ready!

Ok, now that you’ve suffered through my cooking adventure, we’ll get to why you’re really here.  You’ve all been so fantastic to comment and give me lots of project love, so I thought we should have a little giveaway.  How ’bout a bunny giveaway — it’s been awhile since we’ve had one.

Make Life Bunny

Make Life by Sweetwater is my new fabric crush, so I’ve made a Make Life bunny.  He’s excited to find a new home — and he’ll be bringing along a 1/2 yard security blanket piece of my favorite Make Life print.

Make Life Bunny

To be entered for the drawing, there are six things you have to do.  Just kidding — I’m not going to make you touch your toes, stand on your head, or sell your soul.  Just leave a comment.  Easy peasy.

Make Life Bunny

I’ll have TheRandomManoftheHouseGenerator guess a number next Monday — so you have until 12:00 p.m. EST next Sunday, April 4th to enter. Good Luck!

XOXO,
Anna

  1. It must be bunny week, it’s hilarious that I seem to be making similar things to you lately. Yours is better than mine, sigh.Your baking looks delicious, we have volume and weight measures so a scale is crucial. I heard that America was going to do away with the butter thing and use weights. I always have to look up the butter equivalents.

  2. I love it when a man is tipped by a scale. LOL

    The bunny would right at home with me. Please throw me into the pot. thanks.

  3. Aren’t those scales fun? Rebecca got one for Christmas for her yarn and we use it for everything! Once again, put me into your bunny giveaway. Maybe I’ll be lucky this time! Come on Manofthehouse!

  4. Oh please put my name in the pot! I’d love to something from the hands of Thimbleanna!

    The cookies look yummy – but I think the weighing would get old after awhile. I’d rather just scoop and dump, but then I’m lazy like that.

  5. Those cookies look yummy, I want to try making the second ones! What a sweet giveaway as well, I love your bunny! :)

  6. Your bunny is just great! Never would have thought about using the word fabric, but is was a winning idea.

    Hope you learn to love your scale! I have that same scale and I use it several times a week. Mostly for cooking and baking, but it also comes in handy to weigh letters and small packages when trying to determine postage! I’m a big believer in how much better baked goods come out when the ingredients are weighed, much more consistent.

  7. I’ve had a scale for years but I bought it for dieting- I like the baking idea a lot better! Please put me in the drawing for the bunny – and I love the peeps in your header!

  8. I think you just tipped the scales for me too! I’ve been dithering: will I, won’t I—buy some scales. Got a new bread machine for Christmas, but haven’t been exactly overjoyed with my efforts. The manual warns that results are generally better/more accurate with scales…time to take the plunge! Your bunny is adorable…..

  9. Happy easter – cool scale! We will be celebrating easter in England this year with my in-laws.

  10. Oh me please. That bunny is just too cute and I love love love that fabric.

    I have a similar scale and it’s the best!

  11. MAN, those cookies look AWESOME but I am STAYIN’ AWAY!! lol The bunny’s awesome, too, and I’d love to win him. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  12. Love that fabric line also! Your bunnies are so cute I would be honored to have one in my house. Enjoy the nice weather later this week.

  13. So can I use my postage scale for this?? lol
    Love your little bunny. I’m standing on my head right now while typing this so I think I should win.

  14. I have a FQ stack of Make Life but it needs a bunny to lean against it! And give me some ideas of what to do with it!

  15. Anna, seriously. I get tired just reading about what you do. That’s a lot of cookies and a rabbit, too. And forget about all that add some take some away measuring. Give me good old cups and teaspoons. Maybe I’m just lazy…..

  16. I would love to win one of your Buns. So cute! And if I win, please add some of those cookies in my box…..if there are any left. YUM!

    Jody

  17. May I please have the Manofthehouse’s email so I may bribe him? I really NEED that bunny…I think only people who have real life bunnies should qualify…you know, to show our love for bunnies lol!!! I love that fabric too…I keep hoping that one of my lqs’s will get some but if they don’t soon I am off to the internet to get me some :)

  18. Ah, we’ll have you weighing in metric soon, just you wait and see!

    I love the bunny – I’m trying not to scream ‘Pick me! Pick me!’ but it is tough …

  19. I love my digital scale. I weigh everything I eat when I’m on a diet, so that’s about always…LOL!

    Thanks for the chance to win a bunny Anna! please put my name in the draw!

    Happy week to you!

  20. Those scales look great. It’s funny you were weighing for baking this week as last week I was using a US recipe calling for cups! I spent most of the day guessing.

    Thank you for the little mention on your blog too!

    Love the rabbit!

    Spring started here yesterday – the clocks changed for British summer time – and today in many parts of the country it’s going to snow!!!

  21. I so hope that US recipes indeed will be published with weights. I see so many wonderful recipes online that I am dying to try, but I get so totally confused by your way of measuring. I have a couple of American cooking books and when they start talking about cups I am always lost. What kind of cup? I have tons of cups, all in different sizes! :-)

    That bunny looks so cute. What a perfect easter giveaway.

  22. The bunny is so sweet, please put my name in the hat, too!

    Loved to read about your scales experience. I have tried it the other way around, needing cups and calculating weight from lbs and so on – very confusing…

    ; )

  23. oh those cookies look wonderful!
    oh my gosh that bunny is just adorable, would love to have her sitting here in my sewing room!
    she would make me smile every time I looked at her, of course my dd will probably claim her as her own!
    Kathie

  24. oh the joy of scales. mine are the absolute mainstay of my baking because I have recipe books from the UK, Asutralia and the US and ALL of them use different systems of measurement!

    The Brits use imperial weights, you Yanks use something called a stick of butter (?!?!) and cups. The Australians use cups as well but ours are a different volume to the US version and we only use metric measurements. CK has created and printed out many different comparative charts over the years but I still spend my life confused.

    You know, a luvverly fabric ‘babbit’ may fix that confusion right up?

  25. hello petal…
    mars bars do not equal milky ways possum… a mars bar is a snickers without nuts.. mars bar slice is the yummiest thing you could ever ever make… easy peasy as poo to make too…
    We use metric cups here, apparently we joined the 20th century um 50 years ago! LOL (well 1965 we went metric LONG before I was birthed)…
    if you want mars bar slice recipe let me know I’ll give you the recipe (it has four things in it)…

    Lissapoo
    PS I loves your bunnies… and still dont know what a stick of butter is, how much does that weigh, in grams??? ours are 250gms which is about um 1/2 pound I think???

  26. I remember being totally lost when it came to baking not long after I arrived in the US. My castor sugar, icing sugar and corn flour all had different names, and trying to get custard powder was almost impossible. Love the bunny, I don’t think Darlene needs another one, don’t you know they are multiplying like rabbits at her house:))

  27. I don’ agree with your husband. You are worth that new scale a 100%, we already have several of your recipes copied and eat them quite regularly.
    Here in Holland you’ve got Mars and Milky Way. Mars has got toffee in and is more chewy than Milky Way, which is soft.
    I really love your super cute bunny!

  28. I have an old school, non-digital scale and somehow I think it is *less* than accurate.

    Jaxon said, “AWWWW, look at the cute bunny!!” I think he would love it if the Easter Bunny would bring it to him.

  29. OH those cookies all look so yummy. And that little bunny…my oh my….I just love him. That fabric is great…I just did my March Schnibble with Make Life and I love it. Your bunnies are the BEST!

  30. Oh he is a super cute bunny, just perfect for Easter! Your cookies look delicious and I would have bought the scales anyway too. I just purchased some digital ones about 3 weeks ago now and have to get into the habit of weighing what I cook so I dont overindulge in my food intake (just to lose my extra weight). I havent even used them yet but you just reminded me. Oh thanks for the wonderful photos of that knitting book too, it arrived today and is just as wonderful as you explained. Now I just need to decide what pattern to knit up first!

  31. I just got used to the scale in my bathroom….now I have to have one in the kitchen too? great…

    It would make a nice gift for my sister though…she loves to bake..so I will keep it in the back of my mind when her birthday rolls around.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Make Life. Just finished a baby quilt using a charm pack and some Kona… and the bunny would be an adorable addition…

  32. I hadn’t looked at the word print of Make Life and man is that lovely! Perfect for something for my sister. Hmmm…

  33. Those cookies look delicious, esp. the Melting Moments ones. I’m going to try that recipe. The scale really helps, esp. with measuring flour which can have air pockets in it or be packed down. (I’m not entering the giveaway, just popping in to say hi!)

  34. Oh yes, yes ,yes count me in!
    This bunny is beyond sweet.
    I love that fabric.
    Maybe you shpould fill him, with your gorgeous cookies ;0)

  35. I’ve had a kitchen scale for year (not nearly as nice as yours) and it is surprising how often I use it. I’d love to be in your draw. I have one of those little bunnies but he’s lonesome.

  36. i love the bunny but now i’m off to make the melting moments!
    i haven’t made these since domestic science classes at school – a very long time ago since you ask!!!!!!!
    gill

  37. I already have a scale but it’s been for jewelry and then yarn (don’t bake much). Sure like to eat though. What a wonderful bunny – me likey. I haven’t seen the fabric before – it’s so happy! Love ‘word’ fabric. And what do I have to do to get on “therandommanofthehousegenerator’s” good side? The bunny would have a good home at my house Ms Anna. No rabbit stew here.
    always, Robin

  38. my postal scale doubles as my kitchen scale. it does the trick, but i have to be sure to keep it clean. :)

    super cute bunny! i will be jumping for joy if he becomes mine. :) :) :)

  39. Loved it, Anna! Since leaving the lab to stay at home with Victor, I have always looked to the kitchen as my substitute for the lab (until I can get back to the real thing…someday…). But I don’t have a digital scale like you!! An absolute necessity in the ‘lab.’ (your story of measuring and then taking out or putting more in is just like measuring chemicals–except the weight is in grams, not ounces!) I think a scale is an appropriate gift for this mama for Mother’s day, don’t you?

    Your bunny is sweet! Just perfect for Easter! XO

  40. Wow… you really inspired me to look into getting a kitchen scale! I have seen so many European recipes with their fancy metric amounts and just never tried them. Just think of the recipes that will be made so much more easily without messy online conversion charts!

    Count me in for bunny giveaway! I know I don’t have a snowballs chance in a furnace but I gotta try for something so cute!

  41. I have wanted a kitchen scale for so long. I’m doing Weight Watchers, and I think it would help.

    BTW — your header makes me laugh.

  42. I so love the fact that you do just what I do all the time which is ask Mr.Honey what he thinks and then do what I want anyway! (mr. honey is easy too!)
    The scale looks like a fun thing to have in the kitchen…
    and btw, I love the peep “bonnets” in your banner…too cute!
    happy everything,
    lori

  43. PLEASE TheRandomManOfTheHouseGenerator, PICK ME!!!That bunny is really cute and I promise to (maybe) share it with my PunkiePie! :)

  44. Please enter me for a chance to win your lovely bunny. Does he come with your divine cookies???Happy Easter.

  45. I’m so glad this won’t be my 1st comment “just to get a bunny”. I would probably pass out with glee if I did win the bunny though! lol

  46. Pick me pick me…I’d love to own one of your bunnies!

    I have a scale in my kitchen, it was the first “appliance” I bought after moving to the UK and I just couldn’t live with out it!

  47. He’s so gorgeous, I love him!
    I can never understand how you guys manage without scales – but then we don’t use cups or sticks of butter over here in the UK, everything is weighed. But it’s weighed in grammes – only the really old recipe books still have ounces. But as I have a nice collection of vintage recipe books I have to do a lot of converting!

  48. Oh you lucky duck you…You should see the scale I use. It’s just some cheap plastic one that I use all the time and keep saying I need to get me a real scale. I’m going to have to check them out.

    Yummy looking cookies.

    You just have to pick me. I can give him a wonderful home.

  49. thanks for a lovely giveaway…i just got a Make Life charm pack in the mail…lots of possibilites Im thinking!!

    looks like nice weather this week!! fingers crossed! have a great one!

  50. I purchased a ‘measuring cup’ so I could make American recipes then noticed my measuring jug had ‘cups’ on it all along. I had no idea Australians also measured in cups so I have no idea if my cup is US or Aus!

  51. I have never enter a drawing so here it goes. I love everything you do. I have to check every day.. I’m a stocker on thimbleanna site. And the cookies look to die for!!!!!!!!!! But again anything you do looks to die for thanks for sharing

  52. Hi Anna – it’s so funny that using weighing scales is strange to YOU when using cup measurements is so strange to ME! Makes me think of our trip to the cookery shop in Edinburgh when we met up!

    And I love the fact that you get measured “sticks” of butter! So strange but perfect!

    And as for that bunny……… she’s gorgeous – even though I’m lucky enough to have a Thimbleanna bunny already!

    Lucy xx

  53. The scale is multifunctioning I think. It can be used as a postal scale and to weigh foods to eat for diets. Good purchase. Those cookies look amazing.

  54. I’ve been trying to use a scale more often, too. In a funny bit of serendipity, it’s because I’ve been trying out Scottish recipes like you. I do not like the scale I have at all and have been thinking about getting a better one. I love the one you wrote about and shall sally forth to get one for my kitchen. Thank you, Anna, so much for this helpful information.

  55. P.S. I forgot to say that I also play those same sort of “purchase anyway” games with my own husband. Men are just so very odd, really they are.

  56. I had to laugh when reading this post Anna – I could write one identical to yours but the opposite way round! I am doing more and more cooking using US recipes so finally got myself a set of measuring cups to take away the guesswork! I am busy enjoying the novelty of not weighing things at the moment :-) Of course my post would not be identical as mine wouldn’t have a cute bunny looking for a new home on it!

  57. Sell you soul? I am laughing. You’re so funny. In all seriousness though, I love the bunny and I’d like to have him here! Where’d you find that nice scale at? I use one, a cheapy, when I diet. Notice when? Ha. Any way, last time I dieted, I accidently put it on a hot burner. Now it is lopsided.

  58. Anna, I have a kitchen scale, only use it when I am dieting (It hasn’t seen the light of days in decades…lol) Love the bunny xoxo

  59. i’m standing on my head and touching my toes at the same time (okay – that’s a LIE – my head is too pointy to stand on) but it is too late to sell my soul … and now i’m gonna go search on “Make Life” fabric cuz i’m not sure that i can live without it

  60. Anna,
    How interesting, all this measuring. I want a scale so I can measure my yarn! You saying we’ll all have to switch to measuring reminds me of those years in junior high when we were told everything would be switching to metric so we should learn it and get used to it. Never happened. We Americans are stubborn and I’m not convinced! But that being said, I would still like a scale, and yours looks quite spiffy. Beautiful fabric. I am going to have to go look for it!

  61. Gosh, Anna, I think I just might be willing to sell my soul for that bunny! How cute!

    But, if you don’t require it to enter the giveaway, I’d just as soon keep my soul for a rainy day :)

  62. Love it all Anna, the scale, the cookies, the bunny and I definitely have a crush on Make Life too! So many great ideas in one post….. those cookies look so yummy and Eastery….

  63. I’m not sure how I got to your blog (I think it was the google search on Klosjes) but now that I’m here I’m reading through things and admiring your cute bunny.

  64. i’m happy to buy a kitchen scale.. my MOTH loves it when the kitchen appliances outnumber the pieces of flatware that we own…and when counterspace was a thing of the past.
    speaking of things of the past… what will happen with all of our OLD cookbooks? will measuring cups be *vintage* and something people can only get on EBAY???? will our cookbooks be tossed aside?
    :gasps in horror
    should i be making my tastebooks by weight?
    should i lose those extra 40 pounds i’m lugging around?
    and what about world peace?
    oh my… all these questions you’re posing, and so early in the morning – sometimes i think you ask too much of my d.i.m. (dear, imaginary friend)
    speaking of early in the morning…. i think i’ll go put my bed back onto my back!

  65. dear periwinkle poster,
    SPELT is a grain, not unlike wheat or rice.
    so “spelt flour” is ground spelt.
    here, i looked it up for you:

    spelt
    –noun
    a wheat, Triticum aestivum spelta, native to southern Europe and western Asia, used chiefly for livestock feed.

  66. Yummy cookies. “Goldilocks” shoots and scores!!

    I have my grandmother’s ancient kitchen scale– I use it when making preserves, etc. but your digital version looks much easier to use.

    What a cute bunny giveaway–throw my name in the hat, too, please!

    C

  67. Eeep! I’d love a Thimbleanna bunny. So cute! BTW – I LOVE my kitchen scale. I’ve never been sorry that I got it. I don’t use it all the time, but I am thrilled I have it when I do want to use it.

  68. The bunny would be a wonderful addition to the grandniece stuffed play animal collection (well, they are really mine but they play with them).
    Please enter me in your giveaway.

  69. I love the “word” fabric that abounds today–as an English teacher, I can’t get enough!
    Congrats on your new scale. I’m hip to making rice krispie treats, that’s about it–your desserts totally rock!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  70. Oh my already 95 commments.. oh my they do love your bunnies… :o) And I am no exception… ;o))) ohhh.. he have to come and test out all the snow… and bring a breeze of Sping in to My Life… I bet he will love ALL the snow..;o)) I´ll keep my fingers crossed…;o) I promise… I will give him a loving home..:o)

  71. PICK ME PULEEEEEEEEEESE! Been dying for one of these cutie bunnies, and love the fabric. Happy Easter and Happy Spring.

    Denise

  72. I do hope the oh sooo cute Mr Bunny would find his way to my house. but if not, I must say I enjoyed your blog. Will be back to visit soon.

  73. A super cute Bunny, gorgeous fabric and delicious cookies, what more could a woman want from a blog post on a Wednesday morning! Except perhaps those cookies popping through the screen :D toni xxx

  74. My husband is the one in our family that had to have the scale…I agree, a very nice addition to the kitchen. Love the bunny and the fabric, both will have a good life at my house. Greetings from Texas, Lisa

  75. Your bunny is just TOO cute!! And I love that Make Life fabric :)

    thanks for a great give away!

    SheilaC

  76. I’ve had a kitchen scale for a long time . . . but it’s a pocket-sized one for splitting balls of sock yarn. lol I LOVE it! I’m glad you’re feeling the kitchen scale love.

    And even though I don’t need a bunny, I’m sure there are at least two little girls in my house that would be happy to stand on their heads, touch their toes, etc. ;o)

    Now, I’m off to read up on those pillowcases, as I’m about to get a new mattress, and as we’re changing sizes, it involves completely new bedding. (Oh, woe is me. ;o)

    Have a great week!

  77. OMG…It’s one of Anna’s precious bunnies.
    I think he needs to live in Colorado wih me.

  78. Hi – I am soooo with you on sneaking the baking equipment “must haves” into the house! Love your work and would soooo love a bunny to love at my home…thanks for the chance.

  79. Ooh fun… I love the bunny and his secur—fabric.

    I am so looking at Anne’s blog. I found one recipe but she didn’t give a weight for the butter – it says “a knob of butter, about the size of a walnut” LOL that is my kind of cooking! (I have a scale – love it!)

  80. Aww! I think I missed the Monday deadline, but the bunny is very cute even if he won’t get to come live with me!

    I think you deserve the scale too. Sometimes husband don’t really understand how much they actually want you to buy some things until you ust go ahead and buy them.

  81. I love the bunny! And that fabric!!!

    My mother in law has a kitchen scale, and I would love to get a digital read one, they just make things easier and more accurate.

  82. Hi Anna,
    Love the scale!! I could really use one just like that for my new veggie cooking experiences. Especially because one of the magazines I buy is from England and their ‘measures’ are foreign to me. What brand is it? From a major store that we might have?

    Ooooooooooh… I love that bunny! You are so clever and talented! I would love to buy some of that fabric… I love what it says!! Did you buy it online? I’ll do a search and see if it pops up!

    Easter Hugs!
    Joni

  83. Whoops… forgot to mention your new Blog header. How cute is that with the thimbles on the chicks heads. You make me laugh!! And I’ll take any laughs I can get!

    Joni

  84. This is (currently) my absolute FAVORITE collection. And my 4 year old daughter would be REALLY happy to to love on that bunny.

  85. i *heart* my kitchen scale…& we have the same one!!
    omg: your bunny is just a delight! thank you for including me in this fab giveaway…

    happy holiday & all the best!

  86. Your blog is so wonderful- the perfect mix of family fun, sewing and cooking. I especially love the chili cook-off and the gingerbread house competition! Sounds like wonderful memories being made! I adore the little make life bunny. I’m also crushing in the fabric collection.
    Thanks for the fun give away. Have a fantastic Easter!

  87. I’m definitely a scales girl – for a start I have no idea what a stick of butter is or how to measure a cup of butter!! Digital scales are a sure fire winner with menfolk as they look complicated and technical :o)

    Lovely looking cookies. They’ll be tried out here before too long.

    I love your bunny fabric – that’s a new one to me and it’s fab!

    xxx

  88. We had to get a scale so I could make all the recipes taught me by my DH’s Mum. I like the accuracy of a scale although mine is not as posh as yours. Your new one is lovely. Your cookies look delicious!
    Thank you for the adorable bunny giveaway. It is my favourite fabric. I would dearly love to win.
    Hoppy Easter!

  89. A scale is a very handy gadget to have. I wish I only used mine more often.

    I absolutely LOVE the bunny AND the giveaway. Thanks for the chance.

    What a cute bunny! He’d look so cute in my house! Those cookies looked so yummy. Thanks for the chance to win.

  91. Adorable bunny!! I love my kitchen scale too! I’m a baker, so it makes baking so much easier! Thanks for the giveaway!

  92. Using scales is second nature to me since I was a chemist and weighed stuff multiple times every work day.

  93. I’ve been so busy I can’t remember if I left a comment. I looked and didn’t see it but I’m too tired to be totally positive on that. What a great scale and that bunny is to die for. I think my sweet bunny needs a friend. What do you think? lol. She’s just so adorable who wouldn’t want her to come and stay at their house.

  94. I am with Kim, Anna- I don’t think I commented yet-but I am not sure as I am fairly tired this evening. I love the scale – measuring does make a difference- Those melted moments remind me of thimble cookies- Do you know them-sort of like shortbread/sugar cookie rolled in nuts and then a thumb print in the middle that is filled with jam or a cherry. Yummy..
    Love that bunny and his blanket is very cute too- some body is going to love that bunny.
    Have a great Easter weekend.
    Regards,
    Anna

  95. Your cookies look yummy! I still have the bunny you made almost 20 years ago – he’d like a friend! Hope to see you SOON! Happy Easter!

  96. mydadlovesmebestsister

    Don’t you think that it would be easier for me to drive over and pick up that bunny than for you to have to pack it up? Give it to me!!!!! Now!!! p.s. Teddy just fell off the couch (actually he was racing over to me to see a picture of that cute bunny – he promises he won’t eat it!)

  97. Oh that little bunny is adorable! He would love to come to my home, I just know it!

    Cookies look delish….thanks for sharing! :)

  98. I’ve been wanting a scale for a long time, but couldn’t find a valid excuse to buy one! Love the bunny, and love following your site. You are so creative!

  99. I am afraid after what my husband sees what I have done, (take everything off my walls in my kitchen, family room, entry way and formal living room. Spackeled sp?, painted random patches of different colors on different walls trying to find the perfect color to repaint everything with, while he is out of town for the week.) I am afraid when he gets home tonight I am going to be grounded to my room for a month. This bunny sure would keep me company!

  100. Ack! Look at all these commenters who might win MY bunny??? ;) Seriously, you know I covet them.

    Thanks for the info on the scale. I’ve been thinking of purchasing one myself. I have a few other kitchen things on the list first though but we’ll see. The cookie recipes might just sway me!

  101. I hope no one is counting…I can give you my address (or you might already have it) if you want to put my address on this grand give-a-way Ms Anna – You’re so popular. Your presents are such a pleasure to receive. squeeeeee!
    A few of the girls and I are road-trippin to Bloomington tomorrow to visit a few yarn stores and try out Farmbloomington cafe. Road trips are the best and are needed for sanity once and awhile. Actually knitted w/Melly, Ashley, Noemi & my friend Mary on Weds – a good time was had by all. Take care and have a nice weekend.
    Thank you Easter Bunny, bok bok. Does anyone remember that commercial?
    Always, robin

  102. Oh your baking looked yummy. Why is it I always find food on blogs when it’s almost supper time?? I adore Bunny. He would find a real nice home with me.

  103. I would give THE BUNNY the best home ! I lurv him.
    Because I’m in Canada I would GLADLY pay postage to have Mr. Bunny shipped to me – why I might even drive down and drive him back to my neck of the woods. He is SERIOUSLY CUTE.

  104. Your Easter baking looks amazing as always Anna! Your little Make Life Bunny is as cute as can be. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter :-)

  105. Mmm, melting moments.

    I think the little rabbit wants a little trip – he told me so. Please could you pop me in the hat Anna – my girls would adore him. Thankyou!

  106. Thank you new Freind!
    Enjoy your wonderful weekend, were are having some much needed rain right now. Yeah.
    Bring on the beautiful spring of green.

  107. aww, he’s so cute Anna! I need to get some of that make life line! I drool over it everytime I see it. Especially the big ol polka dots. yum.

    LOVE that fabric, too. Will have to go search for some. Can’t wait to see your next thimble header! Hoppy Easter, ME

  109. Those cookies look yummy. I think that they are excuse enough to add another kitchen tool to my culinary workshop. I’m sprucing up my sewing room just in case that wonderful bunny decides to pay me a visit. Security blankets are welcomed at my house. Happy Easter!

  110. Mmmm yummy cookies, and I would not be without my scales either!! Love the bunny, and how gorgeous is that Sweetwater fabric, gotta get myself some of that!!

  111. Oh! We’re scale twins! I finally broke down and replaced my 2 lb manual scale with that Oxo 11 lb digital scale and I’ll never go back. It’s also great for weighing in all of your garden’s bounty :0)

    I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who *sneaks* new gadgets into the kitchen ;)
