Styled magazine

[1]

The second issue of Styled [2] magazine is out today! (Styled is an online magazine and it's free.) I'm so excited to tell you that I have an Autumn project in it! I made pie dough lattice cookies that are meant to sit on top of a mug of hot apple cider. I cannot wait to see the rest of the issue. And this time it's also available in print [3] through MagCloud.

I took a set of photos showing how to create the lattice that couldn't fit into the spread so I'm including them here. (Typical, when asked for three photos I send two dozen!) This is something I learned while watching the old Martha Stewart show (memories!), and you can see it on the Martha Stewart site right here [4]. Also a tip for my cookies: once these are cut it's easier to remove the dough around them than to try to move them one by one onto a cookie sheet. Instead lift up the parchment they are on and slide it onto your baking sheet, I used a cutting board as a sort of peel.

I'm sad to see summer gone, but I'm also looking forward to sweaters and hot cider!

Click through to see the complete pie lattice how-to.


Roll out two rounds of dough, rolling each between two layers of parchment will make this super easy. Cut into strips.


Move the strips apart carefully.


Fold back every other slice.


Lay down one strip of dough from the other section of dough.


Fold the strips back.


Now fold the other strips of down back over the one you just laid down.


Put down another strip of dough from the other set.


Fold the strips back flat.


Continue on like that until you've got a full lattice.


Cut out the cookies, and...


... remove the excess dough from around them instead of trying to move them. Ta da! (They are also dabbed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before baking.)

photo: a sign painter

I was walking through the Georgetown neighborhood and spotted this nice guy painting a sign by hand. I stopped to ask if I could take a photo and mentioned I knew somebody who is making a film about people who paint signs by hand. "Faythe [1]?" He asked. Indeed. The world, it is small.

apple picking

Last weekend was the annual apple picking trip I take with a group of friends.



I've decided I'd like to work part time as an apple polisher and part time as a four leaf clover finder.



We were at Jones Creek Farm [1], which has looong rows of apple trees that are labeled. My favorite find was the Pink Pearl apple which is green on the outside and pink on the inside [2]. Sadly they weren't quite ripe so we didn't bring any home. (That picture above aren't Pink Pearls, by the way.)



And I found this accidental face in a poor fallen apple.

May Birthday Giveaway: lollipop collection from This Charming Candy

What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.

Today I have sweet stuff to give away. This Charming Candy [1] is awesomely offering any one of their lollipop collections [2] to the lucky winner. The company is made up of two lovely ladies, Susan and Kate, and the lollipops are all made by hand here in Seattle. The flavors are carefully tested by panels of tasters (I had the luck to be one once) so only the best surface. And the lollipops are beautiful! After seeing them all lined up at the CakeSpy Shop I nearly wanted to buy a bunch to decorate my dining room table. You can choose between any of their collections [3]: Fruit Basket (their newest), Spice Rack, Celebration Time, Adventurer's Pack and Breakfast Tray. I must try that Salted Caramel flavor, oh, and the Tangerine-Clove too. I see sugar in my immediate future.

You want some candy? Of course you do! To win please leave a comment with this entry and if you'd like something to chat about (I love reading all the comments) answer this question: What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? I liked spice drops at Christmastime. There I said it, I was a weird child! Your turn, you've got until Wednesday, June 1st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [4] applies. Good luck! Closed, thanks for entering!

giveaway: Yolo Colorhouse Design Kits

Yolo Colorhouse [1] wants you to know that their paint is now available in Lowe's stores [2] on the West Coast, and to help spread the word they are offering one lucky reader some useful things, more on that below. To celebrate the introduction the paint is being offered at a special price [3], yipee. Go see more about this [4], and find out which select stores the paint will be available in.

Yolo Colorhouse makes gorgeous zero-VOC paint which means it's good for you, your home and the environment. They are both Green Seal [5] certified and has a whole bunch of LEED rating points [6]. I first learned about Yolo Colorhouse when we bought our first home and painted every wall, ceiling and door with zero-VOC paint (I would have painted the floors too, but half are already pretty nice and the other half are carpet). Yolo Colorhouse has amazing colors, each one is richly pigmented and seems to spring from nature. I wasn't surprised to find that the women who founded the company actually started with color [7], custom mixing it on the spot for clients, and was followed by researching and creating paint that would be healthier for themselves and the dwellings they put it in. They call themselves color nerds! Their designer sensibilities also show in how they present the paint, they sell poster-sized samples of the actual paint which you can hang on the wall of you choice to see how it acts in the light in that space and there is no need to paint a swatch on your wall (something I find perilous and more work than it seems). Or, if you're getting ready to make some paint choices for your home, you can order a Design Kit which are books of 8x8 samples of all the colors they offer. Which brings us back to the giveaway!



Yolo Colorhouse would like to give a reader both of their Design Kits [8], each is worth $80. One set contains The Earth's Color [9] collection and the second contains both The Color of Hope [10] collection as well as the Sprout [11] collection which is a range of lovely pastels suitable for childrens rooms. Each sample card lists three companion colors on the back as well as a note on the color. My favorite, Petal .02, says "Hot lime - full of energy. Try it with black and white - makes for a lively contemporary kitchen or for an accent in a kid's play room." Petal .01 reports "Make no mistake, Petal .01 is loud and vibrant. An orange designed to be used sparingly, unless you want to live loud." Each kit is bound using a metal ring that is easy to unclasp so you can hold up individual samples as needed. In addition to the design kits you'll get an organic cotton tote bag and a BPA-free water bottle. Excellent, right?

Are you a designer? Or just fixing up your house and anticipating needing some time to obsess over colors? These are meant for you. If you think these Design Kits would come in handy you can enter this giveaway simply by leaving a comment with this post. If you'd like something to chat about (I love reading all the responses) please answer this question: Which color would you paint your ideal kitchen? I think I'd go with a sunny yellow to keep my spirits up during our overcast winter days. You've got until Tuesday, June 14th to enter, the fine print [12] applies and the winner will be chosen by the Random Number Generator. Just so you know: This a sponsored giveaway, from a company I like.

Alright, good luck! Done! I'll be announcing the winning number once I've heard back. Thanks so much for entering everybody!
