I really don't have much to say today. I guess I'd thought I just drop by to say "Hi" and share a few new pics. Not a lot going on over here. I have so many craft projects going on, my head is a spinning! I've been trying to get everything done, I haven't even been napping! Now that's serious stuff! haha. : )
Here's one project I crossed off my list. Yes, I do have a list. Lauren - you understand right?! : ) My list has about 20 projects on it (I've done 3) and it's always growing. It just feels so good to cross an accomplishment off and it's motivation to keep going. It's funny how my head works. I also have a daily list that I write down the night before of what I want to accomplish the next day. Now look at me - I just wrote "I really don't have much to say today" and now I'm rambling on about my quirks! haha. Okay, back to my project. I made Sydney a painting & cooking apron so hopefully I will have less stains to remove in the wash. Look at the silly smile.
I received a ruffler foot for my sewing machine for Christmas and I just had to use it! For the non-sewers, it automatically makes the pleats while you sew. This apron is from a pattern, but I'm too lazy to get up and find out what company and number it is! I'm sure all of you are dying to know anyway! (insert eyeroll) haha.And now for the moment, we've all been waiting for:
My new batch of cupcakes! Sprinkles Strawberry Cupcakes - they are perfectly pink just in time for Valentine's Day! I do tend to bake a lot of cupcakes. I guess there could be worse things...

Okay, I've just had to comment...(this is your sister in law's sister by the way!) I love all your cupcakes, but do you bake a full batch every time you make them?? I just have to know! haha!
i love the apron! it's the cutest! and the fabric is pretty sweet too! :)
Does Sprinkles have a cupcake-mix-of-the-month club? =)
Great apron. I LOVE my ruffler foot too.
Hi Kristy! I do always make the whole batch. I eat the leftover batter and then keep a couple cupcakes for Syd & I. The rest - they go with Matt to work! Matt has a lot of younger, single guys working for him. I figure they could use the homemade baked goods.
The Sprinkles recipe only makes 12 - a reasonable amount. I have recipes that make 24 or 35. That's ALOT even for my standards! I don't make those all that often. I like the even dozen. : )
Can you believe that with this pregnancy cupcakes don't even sound good? Nothing does in that case....YET, anyway! I can't wait until they do because I look forward to eating some cupcakes and alot more. can't wait to not feel sick.
Syd is such a cutie...is she in preschool yet?
I've never heard of a ruffler foot. Can you get them anywhere? I've got to get one!
did you use the cute cupcake papers from hobby lobby?
You can buy ruffler feet on Ebay (that's where mine came from) or on different sewing/vacuum websites like www.allbrands.com They are about $30.
I DID use Hobby Lobby's pink floral paper liners! : ) Have you used yours yet, Crystal?
nope, I haven't used mine yet- I think I am going to use them this week. I found a recipe for cherry frosting that I can't wait to try with "the" chocolate cake recipe.
I did use my sand dollar choclate mold- I made cupcakes with light blue icing and stuck them on top to bring to a fish fry at a neighbor's house yesterday.
missing your posts, becky! i think i'm going through withdrawal!
