Well, today we have little bits of everything crafty, but it is still all about the Birthdays over here.
Little Miss Six had to have something to wear with her new sparkly skirt on her birthday so she got a new “6″ tee from Mama. You can’t see it very well, but it is indeed CAT fabric. 
If we are friends on FaceBook you already know my love/hate relationship with the cakepop. The first batch for Choir on Thursday didn’t turn out all that great, but the Friday batch was definitely improved.
Perhaps I’ll do a little tute post the next time I do them. When we were restocking our supplies on Thursday night Addie piped up with -
“Mama? We can just dip them in chocolate and then roll them in sprinkles, I think.”
“But I thought you wanted cat cake pops, though?” I asked her.
“Yes, but I just think that the kittys are too many bunches of work for you.”
Oh. Baby. I will make that sweetness 20 dozen cat cake pops if she asks. It was the such a sweet thing for her to say. And her squeals of pride as she handed them out to her classmates. Well, that made all the blood, sweat and tears totally worth it. (Well, actually there was no blood…but lots of sweat and tears. It was over 100 degrees the two days I was messing with them!)
So back to the sewing room we went. I had several “teen” birthdays this month, and teens love the gift cards (so I’m told) and I made some of these little purses to hold their card loot.
These are TRULY easy, and I fully intend to do a little tutorial on these too. The problem is I don’t think of it until I’m done making them, and of course at that point I haven’t photo’d them every step of the way. But this one I’ll put on the list.
It is an easy way to use up little scraps of fabric, plus it makes giving a gift card a little more personal.
And last, but definitely not least, we have another beautiful example of my mom’s handiwork. This was Addie’s birthday card from Nana and Papa last week…
And Addie after she discovered that it was a sunflower! With M&Ms for the seeds! (I think she has some in her mouth even!)
That Nana always finds a way to outdo herself, doesn’t she?
Wow. You sure do have lots of craftiness this week. The cake pops are SO cute. I think they turned out perfectly!! The card your mom made is super cute too. I see where you get your talent!!
Hi Bean…glad you and Addie liked the card. Thanks for posting it.
Oh you guys always blow me away. Nana…you are cool too!!! GREAT birthday card for the little gardener. I have been sewing but might have something rather utilitarian to put up next week….
Very cute gifts and you did a great job on those cat cake pops! Those things scare me. I’m so not a baker, so I’m sure mine would be a mad mess.
Your mom did a great job and that card and it is so sweet she made it as a sunflower for her!
