I'm not the only creative one in the house. Doug made these awesome "4's" to complete our Halloween costume as Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic. We were a fantastic hit! Nice work Doug!

The flannel receiving blanket is my new favorite gift to give, though I have a feeling I'll soon be returning to quilting. Here's a photo of my cousin's baby, Jackie "Danger" snuggled up with the blanket I made for her.

More Baby Things...

As more and more of our friends transition into parenthood, I've been forced to come up with more creative and quick solutions to the 'perfect baby present'.

Here is my friend Andrea's daughter Reese, swaddled in a flannel receiving blanket I made and embroidered with her name and birthdate, weight, etc.


Isn't she a muffin!!??

Combine sugar, flour, eggs...

It was our friend Tom's 40th Birthday Fiesta over the weekend. A party for such an awesome dude requires an awesome sugary confection. Here you see my first ever sombrero cake! I have to admit, it was delicious! I could not have done it without the help of my two friends, and master bakers, Julie and Dennis, who came to my aid with recipes and construction tips.
