Doggie Sweater 1

The holidays are coming up soon and the weather is getting colder. With all the hustle to plan holiday dinners and finding the perfect gift for all of your friends and loved ones, don't forget about the ones who are always by your side loving you no matter what...your pet! Some people say that it's torture to animals to "force" them to wear clothing. However, I say that if they look cute, and they ain't complaining, why the heck not?? I stitched up this little sweater here for the colder days (although they are few and far between here in AZ) which my little angel, Honey, is modeling. Doesn't she look so cozy?

Doggie Sweater 2

In addition to the first sweater I made, I made these for the more not so cold days, but are on the brisk side. I guess you could call these "sweater vests" since they don't have any sleeves. lol Honey is wearing the purple, and lil Sedona is in the pink. Don't they make such cute models? :) Click here for the pattern.

Mardi Gras Birthday

I attempted to do a Mardi Gras themed cake for my "cake mentor", Diane's, birthday. But I ran out of time so it wasn't as extreme as I was hoping. My sister found the glasses at a party store so we used them at as a cake topper.

Baseball Birthday

I made this cake for a co-worker, Justin, even though he hates when we make a big deal out of his birthday, lol. He did chuckle a bit, though, when I brought out the cake and he saw that it was a baseball...he loves the Arizona Diamondbacks. Happy Birthday Justin!

Happy Halloween

I had a little house party this year for Halloween and wanted to make a themed cake...unfortunately I got behind on the cleaning and errands that I didn't get the chance to spend as much time or care as I wanted to with the cake so the "pumkin" cake I had in mind wasn't as "pumkin-y" as I wanted but, noone really cared. lol Maybe next year, huh?

Grandma Dewey's Birthday Cake

My great-grandmother's birthday was actually in September, but she was out of town at that time and then the wedding/honeymoon came so the cake was a little delayed. Sorry Grandma! I hate to say that this was a little bit of a rush job since I started the cake pretty much after I got home from the wedding reception of the last cake, and I was beat!! But grandma was so sweet, she loved it anyways. This was actually a joint effort between me and my sister, Anna. She baked it from scratch, and then I decorated it. Thanks Sissy!

My 2nd Wedding Cake

Made this for my coworker and friend Cyndi and her husband's wedding to remarry in the Mormon Temple. Three tiers of white cake with buttercream frosting and cream cheese with strawberries filling. Silk rose flowers cascading around the cake.
