She found the ears on her hat. Haha!

Valentine's Day!

I knit these cute little kitties for my girls for Valentine's Day. Little Miss loves them. I was making the black one for Teen Miss first and Little Miss stole it from me as soon as it had a face, but no limbs. She walked around kissing the crap out of it and exclaming, "Kitty!" She was going to get a dolly from the same pattern, but her kiss fest told me she needed a kitty too.


The Valentine's Day spread. My gifts to hubby and the girls.


I made Hubby a strawberry lemonade bundt cake for his Valentine gift. It's even got a handmade paper bow!


I made these construction paper gift bags to put my girls' knit kitties in.


Stu gave me this Pandora bracelet for Valentine's Day along with a box of chocolates and a cute heart jewelry box to keep my bracelet stuff in. It has a pink hearts bead and a dangle charm with each of the girls' birthstone. They have a whole brochure of beads, charms and connectors so you can build your own bracelet! We will be adding more things over the years! =)

Stu and I had dinner at Sizzler. I love their steak! I had the steak and lobster. I'd never had lobster before. It was okay.


I got a Gelish gel polish kit, one colored polish and a mini uv light with some of the tax return money. I just put it on today and I love it so far! I just hope it lasts a long time. I'm so tired of painting my nails just to have them chipping the next day... and I've tried everything.

Yay For Babies... And Monkeys.

I picked up this reusable pastry bag and piping tips for a total of $6 at Walmart.


And I made this with those tools! It's a gluten free chocolate cake with pudding in the mix, strawberry frosting. I used canned frosting and just added powdered sugar to stiffen it a bit so it would hold it's piped shape. My freind Sarah from knit meeting is expecting her 4th baby in two weeks. We threw her a baby shower at the knit meeting today. My inspiration for the cake came from Nothing Bundt Cakes. I was really pleased with how it turned out and it was a hit! Everyone had seconds (including me) but one person. I plan to make more cakes like this in the future!


Here's the card I made for it. I even bought some jewelry wire to make the cake poke that it's resting in.


Every baby needs a sock monkey and I knit this one for Sarah's little expected angel, Amy.


I totally forgot to get wrapping paper for Sarah's baby shower gift. So, I wrapped it in a receiving blanket I had and made a chenille yarn bow.

Drink!

Little Miss has been under the weather due to getting her shots. Sometimes, you just need to carry a mixing bowl around the house to feel better.
