Sweet E Cake

I know 3 times in one week and it's only wednesday!! (Don't expect this to keep up!)

Another logo I have been working on. I actually designed it back in December-January but it had been put on the back burner until this week. It is for a friend in Indiana who is starting up a little cake business from home. I LOOOVVVVEEEE the name.
Here's it with a little pop of color... I just sent this version along for fun but I think it's growing on me.

I loved getting the opportunity to play with a logo that is not crafting related. Or I guess a better way to put it is I loved getting the chance to play with a logo that was food related. Makes me want to open a bakery... or on second thought maybe just visit one... hahaha.

And on a complete side note I am hanging out on our patio right now writing this post and I just looked over to see a cardinal hoping around my wanna be garden. I am SO happy summer is finally here and though I am sure it will be a long hot 6 months at the moment I am eating up every minute of outside time I can get!

For my Cousin

Look I can still craft!

I was supposed to teach my cousin how to do freezer paper stenciling when she was here but we sort of ran out of time doing things like visiting the beach and shopping instead. So I promised her I would make her a shirt and send it later.

She decided she wanted an owl so I drew up the pattern the last night she was here (while she was doing homework...ahem) and ended up cutting out two stencils at once since I had a feeling I would never want to go through the trouble a second time (at least I am learning). So I made one for me and one for her. They aren't exactly the same though just roughly.

The branch wraps around to the back of the shirt. I did mine in brown ink. My shirt had more ribbing then I realized so there is some splitting going on. I ended up digging the look though so I decided not to fix it and just let it do it's thing.

Corrie choose a pink shirt so I used black ink on her's.

I am really stoked with the design.

Hopefully she likes it! Hopefully I get it in the mail soon!!

And for all of you who don't live near the beach here is a dolphin picture for you from the beach this weekend, we are having gorgeous weather!! The dolphin is on the right. I think it's a bird on the left. I wish I had brought a better camera with me but this will have to do! I hope you are all enjoying your versions of spring.

Hmmmmm

So, how are you?

I've been a bit sad, very distracted, too busy and elated beyond my wildest imagination.

 I finally finished my happy quilt started back here.

Except for having to photograph it indoors, I love it. I love it washed in all of it's crinkly goodness. The quilting is a simple row of flowers down each wide strip and doodles in the narrow strips.

These are muslins that I made to send to my girl Jessica. The white one is from the Simplicity pattern 2964 and the other is from the school house tunic. Both are modified a bit. Modified to be a bit roomier in the front. A bit roomier to accomodate my very own GRANDBABY.

Oh yeah!

For those of you who have had to endure me for the last few days...... It's not going to get better. I will in fact continue to announce it to anyone silly enough to stop and listen. If I've told you already, pretend you haven't heard because it just makes me happy to say it.

So, I am getting these off in the mail to see if either will do, then I will use soft lovely fabrics to make them and hopefully they will help keep her comfortable through the summer months.

I liked the Simplicity pattern enough to pull out my AMH Little Folks voiles and try one for myself.

I love it. A lot.

This fabric is lucious.

Light as air.

The colors, yum. 

Thanks Jennifer for being my photographer today.

Oh Baby!

Uber and I are ecstatic to announce that we are expecting a Baby Uber sometime around October 12th. (I'm 13 weeks)



We aren't sure yet if it is a boy or girl, we'll be sure to let you know when we find out. However, we can tell you that it seems to be taking after Uber's large head... and from what we saw when we woke it up in the Ultrasound my attitude....oh dear!
