Whit's Birthday Cake

Jennifer made Whit's birthday cake. The cake is frosted with buttercream frosting,

and the decorations are fondant (homemade fondant).

She's doing great! I think, as I have said before "Jenn has

found her creative art side in cake decorating.

Just one more great job Jenn!

While my sons girlfriend was out visiting this last week I threw her a early birthday party

since I won't be with her on her birthday. I made this quilt for her. She was so surprised about that party and she just loved her quilt. As you can tell her favorite colors are black, white and red.

I had so much fun doing this quilt, I'm ready to do another one.

I'll just have to go shopping for more fabric. How fun is that!

What color combinations should I use, there's

just to many to pick from. I'll have to think of someone in the

family or a friend I have'nt given a quilt to and go from there.

I just love to see the faces of loved ones and

friends when they open their quilts!

My daughter is doing great in her cake decorating class.

This is her clown cake. I think she did a fabulous job.

I'll let you look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

I took pictures from differt sides of the cake, so enjoy !

Great job Jennifer!

Baby Gifts

More baby gifts for my friend Leaya's baby boy. She is ready at any time to have him. I'm so happy for them, after 3 girls she is now having a boy. at the baby shower she would open a gift

and say "and it's not pink". I thought she was so cute. She got a little emotional a couple a times.

Her girls a beautiful and she's a great mom. I know they are going to help in the spoiling process of their new brother.

A simple fleece blanket I made for the little guy.

I just fell in love with the froggy.

And I had to try my hand at an "I SPY Bag".

Jennifer's First Baby Cake

Jennifer, my daughter has found her creative talent. She has always loved to bake.

As a young girl, when she would bake cookies they all come out the same size, her cakes

and other wonderful desserts would always be bakery perfect. Yes! she had to have it perfect.

So when she was asked to make this cake for a baby shower

(which she's never decorated a cake to this extent) I told her sure go for it.

I knew she could do it. Now she is going to take some cake decorating classes

to find out the techniques so it doesn't take two days to make and decorate a cake.

She made her own fondant, and colored it. I was told it tasted very good, I'm

not a fondant girl, just give me frosting. So I'm very proud of you Jenn, you can do this.

I believe in you, because whatever you set your mind to do you will do it.

Have fun in your classes!

Her cupcakes were so yummy!

My First Baby Shoes

My very first pair of baby shoes are for Leaya's baby boy. Hope they don't look to girlie.

I think they should be okay for an infant, but they go with the little outfit I bought him.

See that cute little froggie...isn't he just adorable.

So I picked fabric to go with the blue and green on his little overalls.

I think he will be so cute in his little outfit.

I even got some froggie fleece I am going to make a blanket.

I will post more on the blanket later.

Got get back to the sewing machine.

Dresden Plate Quilt

I thought I would share my new quilt project I'm working on.

This is the fabric I started with. Using this ruler, I used a friends since June Taylor no longer is making this ruler. Oh! how I wish I could get a hold of one of these. I have search the web, ebay and everything in between, and just can not find this ruler. Anyway enough of that...I cut my fabric plates with this ruler.

Each and every one of your plates come out so different.

They look a lot like kaleidoscopes.

I'm having a lot of fun sewing this quilt up.

Each step makes the quilt look so different as it starts

to take shape.

My son has put his claim on this one.

I'll be posting more about my quilt as I get other steps done.



Thanks for stopping by.

If you have any info. about where I could get one of

these Dresden Express 12 rulers please let me know.

Have a great day! ~Cindy
