Flannel nightgown

I haven't sewn clothes in VERY long time, not that I've sewn much in the clothing line, ever. This was a really easy pattern and I love the way it turned out, probably partly for nostalgic reasons. I remember wearing homemade flannel nightgowns when I was little, so had to give Addie a similiar experience. I guess to complete my trip down memory lane, I'll have to make a matching one for her doll. Thanks mom, for warm memories.

Bee cake


I asked my neighbor if I could make a cake for a baby shower she was throwing so I could practice with fondant. It was much easier on a small 6" round cake than a large 12" square cake, but I still had trouble getting it perfectly smooth on the sides, hence the big ribbon. The fondant bee was pretty fun to do, it's like playdough for grown ups. I've researched, and had hands on experience, and now I think I've played with fondant enough to know that I need to turn to the professionals and take a class.
