Bow winked

My new project...bow making! Don't you just love a little girl with a hair bow? So here it is-after about an hour of cursing. It's a lot harder than I thought! I did not prick myself while sewing or burn myself while heat sealing and hot gluing. In honor of my favorite holiday here's the first one. When we get back from Disney I will be making them for hours.

Major Cupcake

My Mom's birthday was last month and since I've been taking all of this cake classes I decided to make her a giant cupcake. The bad part is it was difficult to bake. The pan contained the bottom and top and they both needed to cook at separate times. I also decided to use melting chocolate to create her name in 3D. The things we can do with chocolate. Did I mention I love cupcakes?

Random

Do people actually dress their kids up to go to a craft show? I mean every kid there was wearing a tutu.

I Just Couldn't!

I just couldn't wait anymore and finally broke down and put up the Halloween village. I vowed that I wouldn't completely decorate for Halloween yet-just Fall and would spare the neighbors from the yard decorations-for now...for now. So I have lovingly taken pictures of the Halloween village to share with my dear ones. Who doesn't love mini pumpkins lights and witches flying around. I should live in Salem I swear and yes I've asked Lon about moving!

Happy Halloweenie!

Totally Tag Saling

Things have been a little slow but here's the loot!



I got all this tulle for my next project of tutu making-of course I will post. The white was 2.00 for 13 yards and the bag of every color was 2.00. Some random fabric for 1.00



An interesting chopper kitchen thingy-new for 2.00.



Cute sundress 1.00.



Basket for the pantry redo-1.00.



Another basket for 25 cents and cookie cutters for my new fondant class for 1.00.
I hope everyone else got tons of stuff! Don't forget to stop over at Southern Hospitality where Rhoda hosts the tag sale sharing party-you just won't believe what some people find!

Cake class update

I told you I was behind! So we've been using royal icing which is nice and my job is to make 40 flowers to go on my final cake complete with a basket weave edge......help! Here are this weeks flowers, an apple blossom and violets and those green blobs are the petals for the violets. I will try and post more as I accomplish!

He Makes Bread!

So I've been dying to try loads and loads of new recipes but am on a diet and will be until the end of November. So Lon decided he would make homemade French bread. He did such a good job-too good! I ate it!



Kneading and kneading....



and viola! Bon appetite! Yes we saw Julie and Julia the day before... coincidence? I think not!
