This month I am happy to be taking a cake decorating class. I've been trying since March and I finally was able to find one, that actually had a teacher, and that would fit with our schedule. It is a lovely two hours every Thursday when it's just me. No Adam, no Brian, no cleaning, no dishes. Well, there's cleaning the tips and everything afterwards, and making a cake and doing those dishes...but for those two hours, it's just me and some other ladies learning how to decorate cakes. I'm having a lot of fun! This is my "first" cake for the class. I wanted to do my own design instead of the "rainbow cake" or having to buy a character pan. So, I'd say it turned out just fine! Too bad I can't eat it.
And my project before my class started was to make this little dress. Our neighbors down the street, John & Sara, have a little girl named Atleigh. She just turned two and for her birthday I made her this little dress. I think homemade gifts are fun and cheaper when you have the time to make them. I'm glad this turned out and that it fit and that they liked it. It feels really nice to have someone enjoy what you make for them. It's such a feeling of appreciation and achievement. Now I need to make the crib bedding I've been meaning to make for almost two years...and make that scrap quilt. One thing at a time...
