My Little Owl!

Isn't she the cutest owl EVER! 

I love Pottery Barn costumes.  They are usually kind of pricey but they really do have the homemade look I am after.  I wish I had all the time in the world to set around and sew but two kids keep me BUSY! I've never regretted a costume I've bought from Pottery Barn so I feel like that is justification enough for the price.  Ha. Ha. By the way....I still have Little Red Riding pictures to post and I did make hers since the price was too steep for me to fork over for that one and I L.O.V.E. how it turned out.

Beer Cake

My friend turned 40 and I thought this was a cute idea for an out of the box kind of cake. I found several of these on Pinterest but loved the idea of the cupcake on the top with the beer candle. I found the candle at Partyco. I searched high and low for just the right sized cardboard cake rounds but ended up using the box my new fireplace screen came in with some bowls out of the cabinets for the circles. I also painted the cardboard circles with some gray craft paint and a foam brush just so it would look more put together. I used a drinking glass for the top tier that holds the cupcake. I wanted "Happy Birthday" ribbon but could not find any ANYWHERE. My friend loved it.

Baby Feet!

I'm in love with my baby's feet right now!!!
