More birthday fun



I am just super into making these preschool birthday cakes right now. Our other 3 year old girl turns 4 this week. She asked me for a baby cake but ignored that. Her best friend said i should make a princess cake which is what i set out to do, but in the end I just make a Kiaree cake. Its a lot of cake. The base is a 9x13 sheet cake with pink frosting. Her head is a cake I baked in a 6 inch round pan and then shaped a little with a knife before I iced it. Her pig tails are cupcakes, and her hair ties are fruit by the foot and rolled up Starburst candies. I was totally lazy and trying to clean out my cupboard a little so all the cake is box cake and all the frosting is store bought, but really its for a bunch of kids so it being pretty is really the most important part, right?

Through the Year......




I realized today that I never posted pictures of the calendar I made Cheryl for Christmas. Every page is different and the entire thing is just a huge collage of paper and fabric and photos and glue. Please try to ignore the fact that I completely did not clear off my table before i started taking pictures of the pages!

Catching up



This week I am going to try to get all caught up and finish posting some of the cute things I made earlier this winter so then I can just focus on the present. I made these silhouettes for my sister, they are of her cats Harper and Harley. They are a more classic version of the (large) series I made Cheryl last year of her zoo of pets. This is a picture Amy sent me of the silhouettes hanging above her desk.
