Here's the cake I made for Sawyer's first birthday. I used crushed regular oreos mixed with crushed vanilla oreos for the "dirt". The road is just the regular chocolate oreos. I cut up some malted milk balls for rocks.
Here he is eating it. I couldn't resist sharing!
Heather, that cake is great! I might have to use that in year or two. Sawyer looks so cute all messy!
Here is Lily's Valentine's dress. It is the portrait peasant dress pattern from YCMT made into the rumba dress version. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Yes, there are a lot of ruffles, but unlike a twirl skirt, they do not get bigger. They are all the same width so each layer I had to gather was not that large. These are the 4" ruffles. The (reversable) headband is from the free YCMT pattern you get when you sign up for their newsletter.
I love that dress! Those curls are just darling. I love seeing pictures of her!
My kids have elefun too and they like it. I think it's pointless too but they like it and I guess that's what counts. I love the pengiun clothes, too cute.
Well guys guess what. I went to Joann's today and bought my first sewing machine. It's a Singer Model # 4266 I think. The woman in Joann's said it was a good beginner sewer machine and guess what I get three free lessons on how to use it. The sewing machine people rent space in Joann's so the classes are actually right down the street. They also offer other classes for a fee but they have a sewing club that meets once a month and they sew little projects every month and I get that for free to for buying my machine from them. I am so excited. I really wanted the Disney brother that doesn't fit into my budget quite yet plus I have no experience in sewing yet so I talked myself out of it. Maybe in a couple of years. Anyway I start my lessons with the machine next month. But until I start my own customs I'm going to get some ideas from you all and admire everyone's work.

Whoo hoo! Get sewing! Free lessons are great! Where I got my one machine they offered them (and I should have taken) but it was over 2 hours away and I just decided not to mess with it, thus the reason I don't sew much, but I can applique!
I got a surprise call on friday to spend the weekend (at WDW) with some VERY dear family members. (I did not even have time to "whip up" some customs LOL) So my DD wore her "regular" clothes lol
my DD had a WONDERFUL time with her cousins, and the all looked so cute waking through the park in their outfits. We stopped traffic several times lol.
Also as requested her is one of the outfits I made for DD'd Bitty Twin

I love all the doll outfits! Your daughter looks adorable too!
I made DD5 and DD4 dresses out of the blue Mickey winter fabric. I want to make DS2 a matching shirt. I bought him a white shirt with gray sleeves. I'm planning on appliquing a picture from the fabric. Problem is, I don't know which one to use. Here are three different pics.
Donald & Mickey sled riding and Goofy looking for them...
I also had the sled pointed down heading towards Goofy and him looking straight, so he didn't see them. I don't need to use two pics on the shirt. I can use one. I can put one on the back. Speaking of the back, I had Goofy going around the side of the shirt, but he wasn't big enough to pull it off. Any other suggestions?
I like this one, but switch it so mickey is on the left and goofy right, but doesn't see them. Do you want this for all winter or just around christmas? I thought it would be cute to turn the balls into christmas bulbs. I think a picture on the back top would be cute too.
I didn't like this dress the way it was so I changed it up a bit. I like it better now.
This is the fabric that I bought to make a very special dress for DD.
And this is what I created with it.
DD's holding her arms funny in the pic and you can't see the bow very well but it has a double layer bow at the bottom of the zipper. DD also says that it has a great twirl factor to it.
I liked the dress before and like it now! the added touches are cute! Tink is awesome!
Here are my 4 terrors just before xmas 07, we were on our way to have a photo with Santa. Starting form Jayden 8, Ash 3, Tahlia 6 and of course Blake.

I done the elf on Blakes o/alls, and i made a skirt for each of the girls, but jay didn't want me to make him anything as apparently he is too old
Here is Tahlia modelling the skirt i made, it looks much prettier IRL as it is all sparkly and you can see more of the white under skri, which also has sparkles. I think it is the way she is standing, because you actually do see alot more of the under skirt and you can see the gathers better to.

I love the elf! That is adorable. I might have to do one similar!
My neice, Princess Lexi. This is her Xmas dress I made her. She got lots of raves over it. I put the bottom of the onesize back on it.
While I'm at it, this is her Brother Todd. He just turned 9 and my buddy Kingdom Hearts pal. Just showing you how he'd make a "pretty girl". Sshhh... don't tell him I said that. He'll grow up to be a lady killer I'm sure.
I love the dress! Big brother will be a lady killer!
Thanks guys for all the compliments on Dallas' cake and birthday. It was alot of fun. Elefun sure must know how to appeal to the kids, I didn't realize that it was so popular, also couldn't believe the price tag the first time I saw it, yes, I am cheap!
I lost some quotes along the way. Brooklyn's party looked like fun. I loved all the sponge stuff and her dress. But i want to come to dinner, that looks delicious right now!
I missed the nemo dress the other day too, I am always off/on but seem to somehow skip pages even though I think I have seen them all! It is too cute!
