rainbow mug rug
had a little bit of time to sew yesterday, while anna napped and isaac played in his room. because of a fabric.com order mishap (website inventory vs. actual inventory discrepency), i am at a stand still with a couple of quilts i’ve been working on, so i decided to knock out a mug rug for […]
granny square quilt.
since i can’t crochet, and i’m really coveting a granny square afghan, i figured the next best thing is to make a granny square quilt. i was recently in a rainbow charm swap at sweet diesel designs and had a pretty stack of 5 inch square rainbow fabrics. i added a few of my own […]
cake smashing.
i made (maybe i mentioned this) an 8 inch cake for the grownups and a 6 inch smash cake for anna. after our 1st birthday experience with isaac (he screamed the whole time and wouldn’t touch the cake), i figured we had nowhere to go but up… anna was a little apprehensive at first, but […]
rainbow-ific party for annababy
the whole thing started when i made a rainbow-y type layer cake a little while back. i decided then and there that for anna’s first birthday, a 6 layer rainbow cake would be in order. normally, we haven’t been too extravagant with our birthday celebrations, but something about a may birthday and a new grill […]
annababy birthday: the cake.
for anna’s birthday, i went with a big rainbow cake, a smaller (still big) smash rainbow cake and some rainbow cupcakes to add some color. 🙂 first up, the rainbow cake… after layering, before frosting: the crumb coat: fully frosted: the cupcakes (minus the pink ones): the full display: and finally, the rainbow cake, cut […]
the coloring of easter eggs
it’s almost easter. so, isaac and i decided to color some eggs. luckily, i had boiled some up, in anticipation of this very moment. (we often boil up large batches of eggs for high protein snacks, so it could have gone either way and we’d be happy). anyhow, i got anna to sleep, which is […]
rainbow cupcakes
yesterday, while i was making the pink and purple shower cupcakes, isaac was begging and begging to help. i convinced him that we could try to make some sweet rainbow cupcakes later. and then later we did… helping mix batter. the colored batter and paper cups, ready to go: purple, blue and electric green… all […]
baby legs
i follow a ridiculous number of blogs. cupcake blogs. home decor blogs. mom blogs. friend blogs. and many a craft blog. on one such blog, i was reading a post about how to turn some old grownup t-shirts and a onesie into a pieced jersey dress. i thought, “well, that would be a really great […]
rainbow cake, the inside
after a sleepless night and a morning full of great anticipation, we cut into the rainbow cake today at kernel kustard. and here are the results:
