Birthday Countdown


My daughter's birthday is in a couple of weeks.  She has been talking about it for months like any little kid.  :)  So she made a countdown the beginning of this week.

We cut out some "frosting" for her cake and she decorated it.

More decorating.
 
 
We then made candles for her to put on the cake.




She loves getting up in the morning and taking a candle off of the cake.

Teepee Covers and a giveaway!!

So I saw something really similar to these over at Make It and Love It.  I made mine a little different from hers.  They are suppose to prevent any rainbows that little boys can make when you are changing their diapers.  I found this fabric on sale and used a hand towel for the other side figuring that it would be the most absorbent as well as it was what I had at home.







I traced 6 circles on the printed fabric then cut them out and pinned them on the towel and cut them out again with the towel.





After cutting them out then I cut all of the circles in half.





Warning- using the towel also created a lot of fuzz when cutting and handling it.
I sewed the fabric together with the wrong sides together.  On the flat side I left a hole so I could flip turn it inside out.




Around the curve I made snips being careful not to cut the thread.



I cut as close as I dared to the thread to create less bulk when I flipped it.  Then I flipped the cover and folded it in half with the printed fabric on the inside.  I sewed along the straight edge making sure that I sewed up the hole that I had left open.  I then flipped the whole thing so the towel was now in the inside and it was in a cone shape.





While making these I made an extra set to share with one of YOU!!!

Jelly Bean Bark



I saw this idea over  here at Scissors& Spatulas.  Instead of using white chocolate I used Almond Bark.  It tastes nice and yummy.
