Gingham Overalls

I made these little gingham check overalls for my twin nephews.






They are so dapper in these. The hats my sister got them set it off perfectly.






They loved looking down at their new outfits, the big and small black and white checkers had their interest and curiosity, and chewing on the big buttons (that i made sure to sew on extra secure for them) .

Twins!

Bake for Obama!

The Obama "Hungry for Change" bake sale was on Sunday June 22. MoveOn.org helped organize thousands of Obama supporters for bake sales across the country. The one I attended was at Echo Park, a block from my apartment. I made mini cherry cheesecakes with Obama tags. They turned out really yummy. I only had about a dozen and a half of the foil cupcake cups and a bunch of regular paper ones. I used up all of the foil cups and then put the last little bit of the cheesecake mix in a few of the paper cups and those didnt work out so well. The paper cups kinda collapsed, so I got to eat those few and they were delicious. Hey, you must try the goods your selling, right?

Ive been busy

I did a little christmas craft fair on december 10th. I was busy busy. I worked every night after work to get enough done for the fair. It was tough.

I made art aprons, bright florals and poka dots for girls and gingham and cowboys for boys. And I made Zip and Button Snake learning toys. They have zipper mouths and a different closure for each body section to help little ones learn how to tie, button, snap, etc and improve their motor skills while they play. I sold quite a few of these. See more here in my new shop, Priziest Pony, which I made just to sell the extra items that didnt sell at the fair.

Finally time to relax. In my first stocking I got a load of yummy candy, a new ipod car charger, and my favorite - GARFIELD!

Look at how cute these chocolates from my sister are! I love the little skully at the bottom and the mad tea party.

I had to indulge, and maybe create a few cavities, with old fashioned hard candy. These used to be around alot at xmas when I was little. I was missing the beautiful ribbon goodness.

I have to say..

Im sooo glad it over!

Joan's Cupcakes

For Mother's Day I ran down to Joan's on Third for some cuppie cakes.

I ended up getting Vanilla with Rasberry filling, Chocolate coconut, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Chocolate which had chocolate sprinkles. Yummy! I especially loved the peanut butter one. It was thick and delicious. My Mama liked the pink one best.
