Celtic Cross Design Completed


This is the finished design, minus the couples' initials and the wedding date. I thought that posting it in it's pure form would be a good idea. I'm kind of nervous that I may have thrown off the design with the initials. The next step is to wash it and let it dry. Then I will add the borders and backing for the pillow.

The Continent Cake


I did not utilize my usual care and patience with this cake, to my shame. This is my last cake to rewards my students for being excellent during the 8th grade testing.

Due to other commitments, I had to do this cake in one night. I was up until 12:30 am. Thank goodness it's Friday. I hope it is a semi-reasonable facsimile of Asia.

The Girl's 10th Birthday


It's official as of Monday, I now have a 10 year old, a child in the double digits, a pre-teen. Broke down and got her a cell phone, she was over the moon with excitement. I just couldn't stand not being able to find her the first circuit of the apartment complex while she was out playing.

We are having Luau themed swimming party today. She asked for a lemon cake decorated to look like Hawaiian flowers, aka hibiscus.

The Taj Mahal



My 5th period class rose to my challenge of staying quiet while the 8th graders tested, and it was a challenge for them. They also earned a cake. They chose triple chocolate cake and asked me to make the Taj Mahal, so with icing and my limited skills I did.

Celtic Cross Part 3


Getting very close to being done. Now I have to decide what font to make their initials in and the same for the date. I also need to pick out fabric for the sides and back of the pillow.
