So soft


I decided to make my mom a white scarf for Christmas with this ball of super soft white yarn I got at Michael's on clearance forever ago. But that one ball did not exactly go far, but neither did my knitting and i had a scarf that was only 8 inches long by Christmas day. I found two more skeins of the yarn and kept going and finished the scarf for her birthday last week. It showcases all of my knitting skills, which are not really that varied and are only good for scarves but whatever, scarves are nice!

Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu!



In honor of Mom's birthday we went out for a fun family dinner at a Japanese restaurant and I made this cake. Its yummy devil's food chocolate on the inside! It was not my most impressive cake but I thought it was pretty enough to share

Happy Birthday Makiah!



So there is this little girl in the preschool/daycare where I work who is obsessed with me and babies, so in honor of her 4th birthday I made her these adorable cupcakes from the Hello Cupcake book I got for Christmas. They were actually not too hard and came out super cute. My little friend loved them so much that she told me that on my birthday if she finds a lot of money she will have her homeboy take her to the store and buy me a pack of gum, so that is pretty sweet.

Headaches and victories



This year I thought it would be just a great idea to sew aprons for my friends for Christmas. This probably would have been a good idea if i knew how to use my sewing machine. I of course als picked out an unrealistically difficult pattern, but with a lot of work, a few tears and some help from my mom I managed to make it work. The last one I made was for Cheryl (who had to wait until January 5th to get her gift) and all the extra time paid off as it came out very cute if i do say so myself!!!

Curiouser and curiouser!


I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!
