Butterfly Cake

Another Birthday came and went.

My middle child celebrated her 6th birthday.

She was able to pick out  the colors for her butterfly cake.  She was very happy with the way her cake turned out.

I am so happy that I learned how to decorate cakes...  My kids love being able to ask for a specific type of cake.   (I remember my own mom decorating cakes for my brothers and me.  So I wanted to be able to do the same.)  My kids enjoy having a special cake for their day.

Of course, I made this a gluten free chocolate and white cake.

Minnie Mouse Cake

My youngest is 3.  

How is that possible?  

Here she is in her finished Dress and Ears.  

   

 I also made her a gluten free Minnie Mouse Cake.  It was both white and chocolate.  The white cake mix was Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free White Cake Mix.  The chocolate was Betty Crocker's Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix

Minnie Mouse for the Birthday Girl

Someone is almost 3 years old.  

She told me she wanted a Minnie and Mickey Mouse Cake for her party.  

Then she informed she needed to have ears with bows like Minnie Mouse ... 

and a Minnie Mouse dress.

More ruffles

I love ruffle fabric.  I made me a gray skirt.  Yeah, for making something for me!  I used an old black tshirt as a lining under the gray ruffles.  

I had enough left over to make my youngest one too.  :)

Going on Safari...

I love how Safari Mickey turned out!  

Homemade Christmas 2012

Another Homemade Christmas...

Another apron for my girls.  The aprons are personalized with their intials.  These are made from repurosed jeans.  Here is a tutorial for the jean apron.















A rose scarf - this is made from felt.  I sewed the scalloped circles together to make the flowers.  Then I sewed the flowers to the felt scarf.  This could be a no sew project by using a glue gun.

A friend of mine asked if I could make a dress for her daughter out of some material that she had.  This is what I made.  From what I hear, the daughter loves it!

Is it an Apron or a Bag?

Is it a bag? or...

an Apron?


It is both.

My girls love to paint.  With these bag aprons, it is easy to keep our paint and paintbrushes put away.  When  they are ready to paint, we empty the bag and change it into an apron.  

These were gifts for Christmas.
