Silky Shower Caps

I was looking for a cute way to give gift certificates to all the females in my gift giving circle, and this is what I came up with:

I plan to make small gift baskets with toiletries and hats, then add the gift card to the tag.

I got a little carried away and will try to sell some of them.

(Please excuse the mess of my sewing room. This time of year the elves are busy!)

Maddy's 7th Birthday

It has been a while since I have made any birthday cakes. My great-niece had her party on Saturday and I volunteered to make the cake for it. I have to say it wasn't too fancy, I used Wiltons wafers to make the decorations. But Maddy seemed to happy with it, she is the little girl in the purple dress. I really like the push-ups the kids loved them. They made clean up pretty easy. The photos show the cake after the pushups and before.
