Pictures for Mom

By
Dear Mom,

I know I just talked to you on the phone, but I wanted to let you know that I love it when you call. It's a wonderful break during my day.
Isn't it ironic that we both started crochet projects around the same time??? Here's the hat I mentioned to you. It was a free pattern I found on the internet ... only hdc. The flower I found on the internet too ... it's made of dc's. Just thought you'd like to see it. It looks adorable paired with the outfit Maryanne has on in the picture ... her pants are a cheetah print. I have plans to make a smaller flower to put atop the white one, but I like it just like this too.

Also, I remember you said you'd like to see what I'd do with a wedding cake. One of my friends at church asked me to make her daughter's wedding cake ... so I practiced on my last cake of my last course. Here are the pictures.

Love you,

Ris

I enjoy our phone calls too. I'll have to try another day at lunch time. I love the hat -- very cute and she looks so happy to be with her Papa. I love the cakes, wow, you were good before but you've taken it up a level. The values cake is great, but the wedding cake is fabulous.

Where did you find your patterns? There is so much on the internet and after sorting through so much and not finding what I wanted I gave up! Especially the flower, i've been wanting to make some for awhile now!
PS Awesome job on the cake - it's amazing!

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
