Newborn Tutu

Here is my new baby sporting her newborn tutu at 2 weeks old!

C's Halloween

Halloween Party 07

I love throwing Parties, and Halloween has been my favorite! Ever since we moved to TX I havn't had one. My reason, first year we didn't know anyone, and this year, I was having a baby anyday and I am in charge of the ward parties, including Halloween. So I was looking through my old Halloween pics from 07 and thought I would share them with you! This was a progressive dinner party with games in between each course!

My First Cake Order

A friend asked me to make a cake for her husband’s birthday! It was the first time I had been hired out for a cake job. I was nervous when she asked because the only cakes I had decorated in the last years have been Callie's first and second birthdays. It ended up being tons of fun and I really enjoyed getting more practice in. She asked for one like I had made in my cake classes, but I wanted it to be better than that, I think it turned out great and was way cute!

Finally...

I finally put up the vinyl lettering on C's wall, I had been waiting to find a big cheap chunky picture frame but hadn't found it yet. Then my friend had pictures right on canvas, which I know is expensive to print, but she had mod podged it. Duh, Im a total mod podger. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it. I got it all up. Bought the canvas, $4 printed the pic at Sams Club, glued it on, sanded the sides for effect, then glazed over the top in two coats, took about 1 hour and turned out cute!

C is the inspiration for the quote. Before she turned 2 I caught her swaying in front of the mirror in a dress gazing at herself, and then she said it "a dweam come twu" It clicked later that she was copying Cinderella when the mice make her dress. So cute, so I had to have it for her room!

Halloween Tutu

Table and Chairs

I found this table set a while back on craigslist and had to have it. The paint job was really poorly done and needed some love and care. I decided that I needed to finish it before this baby came (trying to force myself to do what some of you women have called "nesting"). So I finally sat down and sanded off all the white paint to paint again. Of course I forgot to put up abefore picture, I’m not very good at this craft blogging, but I managed to get a picture of one chair before sanded and after sanded! I was finally persuaded to do a different color by mother and husband after they said why go through all that work just to paint it white again!

M's Shower

These are the favors for another friends shower. I never seem to remember to take pictures of anything at the showers, this was all I got!

Second Birthday, My Little Pony theme. I used the Wilton Precious Pony Pan for a pattern, made two layers and then carved away! I then got my work out by mixing all the fondant colors!
