Happy Birthday Mr. G and Sweet pea!

This month at our house we celebrated Mr. G's 8th birthday and Sweet pea's 4th! I can not believe how much these two have grown. Sniff, sniff.

Every year I make their birthday cakes, this year's cake for my big boy was a camouflage cake. I made the tree out of a ice cream cone and even added deer tracks across the top of the cake. I found this camo sugar paper at eth store and added it to the sides. Not bad looking I think, at least I know G loved it!  

See, it's even camo in the inside. It from a mix this year, Duff Stuff cake mix. It was very yummy for a box mix! 

I made Mr. G a LTTS book bag, here's a sneak peek at it! You have to wait to see the rest. ; ) 

Sweet pea picked out a little paper kit for her cake, she told me she wanted a Lalaloopsy Cake this year after we had bought it, yep it sure look like it does belong on a Lalaloopys cake to me! 

I made the frosting colors to match her decorations for the top and sides. She was very thrilled with it!



I did finish her dolly dress so they matched her birthday. 



I remade the School photo dress in a dolly size for a 14" Waldorf doll. It came out fitting very well I think. Sweet pea was thrilled with it!

I even made a matching nappy by request. Really need to buy some fabric fat quarters and make a bunch of these clothe nappies up one day. They really are supper easy and quick to make.

Would you like to make a wee little dress??

If so I'll be sharing on how I did this later on in the week!

Happy Birthday my little Loves!!

The Shool Photo in Warm, Soft Wool

I just love winter sewing! I can use all those soft, warm fabrics. *sigh*

For this dress I used some wool fabric from the small country fabric store right up the road form us. She has some real treasures there! She got this fabric in the last summer but I was not sure a the moment what I would it for, until last Friday. Then I knew I had to have it for this dress!  

The pattern is the School Photo dress from Oliver + S (Come join the sew-along going on right now over at O+S blog!) I think the fabric and pattern are a perfect pair! The pattern is perfect for those heavier fabrics too. It worked out so very well and sewn like a dream. I didn't run into any problems while this baby! I even lined it in the same wool as the outside fabric, Sweet pea noticed this and loves, loves it. She says it's very soft.

I made the dress a size 4, which is a great reminder that very soon I will have to buy all the next size up in the pattern I have not purchased yet. Yikes! I do have some bought but I need to quit a few more. Thank goodness I will not have that problem with Prince C due to older brothers. I think I will have to sew two summer versions of this dress later in spring just so I get my moneys worth out of it. *wink, wink*

What's even better than the front and lining of this dress?? The invisible zipper in the back! You can't even see it. Funny thing is that Sweet pea loves this too. That's my girl!

Happy Sewing!
