I Can't Stop Baking!

 In honor of Family... Lila, Nell, and Abby are coming today!  We get to experience Lila's first sleepover!  TO Celebrate I made Raspberry filled Dark Chocolate Cupcakes!  I had to play with frosting too!  I need to get a Cupcake nail to help with my frosting... but I'm learning and loving it!

Frosting Fun

My wonderful husband gave me a frosting kit for Valentine's Day. I decided to experiment; it was fun.

In Honor of Valentine's Day

I made Yummy Raspberry Cupcakes!






Dot the Octopus, and Dot's Inspiration


Meet Dot the Octopus... I know Dot only has 4 arms...
I had so much fun creating this cute toy. Dot is about 9"x9"x9" and made from Felt. I was inspired to create Dot after making a larger Kraken for a friends daughter. I wanted to make something for their daughter's first birthday. So I found a pattern for this cute Kraken.
Max loved the larger one so much at the party that I might have to make him his own Dot the Octopus on the larger scale. This was my first toy and I have to say it was so much fun that I am now developing a few more toy animal patterns... next I think I might tackle a dinosaur... after I make Max his own Big Dot.
