Welcome Fall

I am having fun with my shelf! I found a bunch of fall decorations at Michael's for 70% off! WooHoo! I have been LOVING the fall this year. We have had BEAUTIFUL trees, and the color seems to have lingered a little longer this year..or maybe I am just enjoying it more! Either way..I am looking forward to Christmas, but not looking forward to winter though.

Hair Bows

I made some hair bows a few months ago, but here are some more I've been making! They are super easy, and super cute! I am TOTALLY in to this little girl thing! Can you tell?!!

Onesie Made Dress

No pattern, just did it. It is still a onesie, I didn't cut it off, although you can and it may be a little easier to sew!.
The little posie is actually a hair clip to go on a head band!

Cake Class

Last month I took a cake class! Wilton II with a couple friends. It was a blast! We learned some different flowers each week out of Royal Icing, and learned to use the Color Flow Icing as well. The last week we learned the Basket Weave and Rope border on the cake and put all our flowers on it. Here's mine!

Halloween Costumes

Here is how our Halloween Costumes turned out for the kiddos! You can't see the babies as well, but she was 'eva' from Wall-e. I found a white zip-up nighty that we had and sewed a green leaf on the chest of it. then the hoodie and face w/blue eyes..it went up and down as I needed to see her. My son was, of course, wall-e. A painted box and a pair of goggles and robot hands I got from the dollar store. He LOVED it! Has worn it every day since! They were great!

I'm Back!

Sorry I've been away so long. Here's what I've been busy with!

Taking a Cake Class: Wilton 2 - lots of flowers! It's been fun! Our final cake is next week, and I will put all these flowers on it!

Made a shelf..well didn't construct it. Got it f/Michael's unfinished and then finished it. Paint and hooks. I've been wanting a shelf for a while. A place where we can hang our stockings in a couple months and that I can decorate for holidays!

I told myself I had 6 weeks after this baby to recoup! It's been 7 now and I have a list of things I want to make! Starting with costumes! My son will be Wall-e and my daughter will be Eve f/the Wall-e movie!
