Yeah, Dream On~

Nothing says spring more than a snowbound quilt.

The Dream On line of fabric reminds

me more of spring than

say.........uh, winter.

But a girl has to work with what she has.

And right now I have snow.

This cute baby quilt pattern is from the clever Jodi of Pleasant Home.

Check out Moda Bake Shop for the pattern.

I thoroughly enjoyed making it.

Pretty dang quick and no special skills needed.

And I'm all about skills not being needed.
Every baby needs flannel elephants to cozy under!
It might be my new go-to baby pattern.

People are still having babies, right?

Whew.

Cupcake King

Des got my girls the coolest

cupcake decorating kit for Christmas

from

This is the kit,

plus some polka dot & striped cupcake liners,

ballerina toppers AND sprinkles!

It's awesome.

So...there was a girl ask boy dance

and we gently prodded Bella into

asking someone on kind of short notice...long story.

But thanks to Aunt Desi,

she whipped these up,

with inspiration from Bakerella.

Happily Ever After was the theme of the dance,

so she wrote a scroll/invitation & hid it in one of the cupcakes.

And I just so happen to have a dozen Burger King crowns in the pantry.

One never knows when you might need one.

The crown was my big contribution.

Here's Harry's contribution.

She needed some way to get it to him fast.

He's wearing a royal cape aka Christmas Tree skirt.

(If you recognize this tree skirt, let me know.

It was left at the church party :) ?? came in handy.)

Sun...that sounds so good right now.

It's windy & pretty chilly where we are....sigh.

but those fabrics look awfully familiar....

Let us all turn to page 45.
That my friends is made from a
Quilt Taffy charm pack.

Yes, it is.

Adorable!

Does that count as "being published"?
I say, "Yes."
I can now cross that off my "To Do List" :).
