Sewing again

This is a little coat that I made for my cousin! My aunt gave me a TON of fabric so I just had to make something for the little one. It's corduroy and it's just adorable.

What a busy month!

I haven't been able to post anything in a while with all the cleaning, cooking, baking, and parties we've had lately! I made another cookie cake, this one for Alex's graduation. It's the Geneva Viking's mascot!

May 174


It was devoured in less than 5 hours. A new record!

Cakes, Galore!

I decorated a cake for Alex's birthday, as well as my mom's birthday!

Alex and I have always loved the game Bubble Bobble, so I baked and decorated this chocolate chip cookie cake for him!

Chicago 013

My mom loves the green M&M character, so this was her cake!

Easter Eggs Are Done!

I've just finished my annual Easter eggs. They're real eggs, which I've emptied, cleaned, painted, and glossed. This is the 4th year making them, I believe.

My annual Superman egg. It's different every year!

I've started making an animal/insect egg every year for myself. I've painted the pictures from photos I've taken.

I always do 2 Mario themed ones for special people, too.

Sew, Sew, Sew

Unfortunately I haven't had time to do any drawings or personal crafts. I've just finished sewing the last of 3 pioneer style dresses that I was hired to make for some 3rd grade daughters of some friends from school. Here they are!

And dress three!

Now that I am finished with those, I am going to be painting my annual Easter eggs. Stay tuned!

I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie.

Here's my Princess Leia from the Empire Strikes Back. I should probably get a shot of the back of her head, because her hair looks really neat. I will do that soon...

A brighter shot...
