Mama owl, baby owl! This is my entry for the March/April tie one on. The theme, rick rack. I really didn't know if I was going to do this, however when we were in Florida my mother came across my grandmothers rick rack, and asked me if I wanted it. Well, of course! I made these while there, and since my mother doesn't have a fabric store around, we hit her linen closet. These are made from old pillow cases. The owls are made out of a few scraps my mom had in her stash. The inspiration for the owls came from my friend, Merrit, who was having a "meet and greet" for her new precious baby, Finn. She made invitations with the cutest little owls on them. Hopefully she will get back to blogging soon to show you!
These are actually now very special considering they have my mothers pillow cases and my grandmothers rick rack. I guess I will have to make my sisters each one!

We finally got back to our cookie of the week. Charlie got to choose, and he chose:
Butterscotch Chips
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
Heat oven to 350. Mix sugar, butter, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Add flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Beat until dough forms. Stir in chips.
Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
