Show and Tell

For the last several years when ever a friend or coworker has a baby I've crocheted a blanket for them. It's slowed down a bit over the last year between Baby Brother and the pesky tendinitis in my wrists that just won't quite go away. In fact I have yet to start one for my best friends little boy, who was born over a month ago. Maybe by Christmas...

Anyway, here is one I just finished for TB's teacher. She had a little girl in April. I also got her the most adorable little pink dress. Hopefully it will still fit considering how long it has taken me to finish the blanket.

My favorite sugar rush

I made a baby shower cake for one of my coworkers last weekend. We were going to have the shower on Tuesday. Guess we waited to long. She had her baby early that morning. Oh well, we all enjoyed the cake anyway.

Here it is. It was the first time I tried using marshmallow fondant. It was kind of fun. I'll try it again sometime. And the cake only took about 10 hours to make.
