Monster eye cupcakes

Perfect for Halloween! Halfway homemade because I just can never get made from scratch cupcakes to taste as good as a box of mix- I have never claimed to be a baker! Decorator- definitely!
Two tricks. 1. Smooth the Oreo frosting with a warm knife. 2. Use long toothpicks to stabilize the eyes- I learned this one the hard way!

First quilt!

For some crazy reason I decided to make a quilt for my lovely sister in law's newest addition to the fam! I was a woman obsessed and finished it in a couple days. Picking the fabric was my favorite, wrestling the thick batting through the sewing machine my least! I even added a little embroidered 'q' at the end. I will definitely be making more. I read Elise's posts here for guidance.

Baby shower invites

Love how these turned out! I sketched the fix by hand then scanned it into my computer and colored it digitally. He turned out perfect!

Pony party

The big week of Charlie's 3rd birthday party is here! Here is a peek of the invites. Pony clip art is from etsy and will be all over the party decor! The back of the invites is pink Swiss dot cardstock, I just love the texture!

OLD (fashioned) BIRTHDAY PARTY

I just came across these pictures from last summer! We threw a mini party for my sister in law's 30th. I thought it would be fun to play on the OLD part as the focus and make "fashion" a bit understated. (she thought it was funny) I made  herringbone bow ties from ribbon and elastic. We had spectacles and mustaches on sticks. I used hard caramel candies on the table to add a touch of gold to the black and white theme. The adults enjoyed classic drinks like mint juleps and whisky sours. Super fun!

Peeps wreath

This turned out so adorable. We used toothpicks and the bottom ones fell out at first but after they dried up a bit they have stayed put!

Starting new project today!

In love with this color scheme!
