I spent this last week making a cake for my friend's baby shower. I had so much fun doing it. I took the colors/theme from her bedding
and came up with this...

Yes, that is the sound of me tooting my own horn!
As is the point of this post. Here are some of my latest crafting ventures.
These are cupcakes that my friend and I made for another friend's baby shower using marshmallow fondant
I finally remembered to take a picture of the baby blocks that I've been making. This is the sixth set I've made and first that I've remembered to take pictures of.
This is a baby book that I made for a dear friend who lost her husband in September and gave birth to a baby girl in February. I didn't show the inside but I printed pictures onto fabric of Dad for Baby E to carry around with her. So the whole book was cloth and very baby friendly (even the buttons that were sewn on extra, extra carefully!)
And finally a chalk bag for my neighbor's little boy. He loves dinosaurs and they go rock climbing frequently so I wanted to incorporate the two. I got the pattern from here!
I have so much fun making these things that I am kind of sad when they are finished.
Not much time to spare though, I have a baby shower this weekend to prepare for!
Momma Mia!

Mother's Day is a tricky one when your spouse is gone. Fortunately Manuel picked up the ball on this one. He let me sleep in and made me waffles
And a locket he won at one of those games at the mall. He then tried it on his wrist and wondered how anyone would actually wear this and we decided to hang it from the rear view mirror on the van and then I'll save the earrings for a fancy occasion.
After church and naps we went to Point Defiance for a picnic dinner from Tatonka Takeout and enjoyed our warm, sunny day.
P.S. I made them wear their Easter outfits today since I was so horribly ill on Easter. I got some great pictures of them all together coordinating that will be shared at a later date.
