Feelin Crafty!

Well, I hope everybody had an awesome Easter! I think it's my favorite holiday. There isn't so much commercialism it destroys the real meaning of the holiday. I'm so grateful for my Savior and his Atonement!
Anyway, my cousin sent my girls THE CUTEST little crocheted teddy bears! The girls love their bears so much, they take them everywhere they go. You can see one here in the picture below.

Well...I wanted to make my own because they were just so stinkin cute! My cousin told me about the free pattern found HERE. I decided to try making a bunny for one of my daughters friend's birthday. I have to say...

I think it turned out great, but I'll let you be the judge ;)

Party Saturday = Messy Monday

My Big girl, AVJ, just turned 4 and we had a little B-day party for her with a few of her friends. I decided to get brave and make fondant(the marshmallow variety). It turned out to be really cute, but SEVERELY underestimated the messy, ooeey, gooey-ness of it all. I didn't even use it on the whole cake! ANYWAY, here are some not that great pictures. (procrastination+bad lighting= bad pictures)

I guess first there were the invitations. They're pretty darn cute, if I do say so my self!

AVJ wanted a Princess and the Frog party, so that's mostly what she got!

I tried to find those cute little Haribo frogs to put in these dirt/swamp cups and cupcakes, but couldn't find them in any of the stores. I guess I could've order some online, but then I would have tiny gummy froggies coming out the ears! I settled for a lily pad with lotus flower. I did an extra big pad and flower on AVJ's personal cake.

Oh yeah...and I made that cute little(or should I say...WAY TOO BIG) princess hat too. All in all everything was cute and yummy and fun was had by all. ( at least I hope so anyway!)

Now go check out some other messy projects a the Pumpkin Patch!

Happy 1st Boo-thday

Ok...so her birthday isn't on Halloween, but we'll be gone for her actual birthday in November. Isn't she just the cutest!?
