Birthday Cake



Its not paper, but it's still art....right?? I spent yesterday creating 50 cupcakes and this COOL train cake! My baby is 6 today. I can't believe it! (well, not my baby, my oldest, but still.....)
A quick cake (made with coffee, shhh don't tell ;)) to celebrate all three birthdays while we had Julia here for the March Break.....cuz we are going to miss her real birthday. My princess....she got BELLE from Beauty and the Beast as a gift and we did her hair up like Belle and dressed up......Can you tell I only have boys in my house, lol. I wish I'd got a picture.

I'm in the mood for FAbric....sewing....needles.....and flowers

I started this search for a good place to buy fabric online, seeing as I am stuck out here in a rural (read....no stores in an hour's drive ;) ) that carry fabric and notions and crafty stuff. In my searching, I stumbled on some amazing blogs, sites and creative people. I am going to share a few with you so you can be inspired too :) My sewing machine is in for repairs, so I won't be following up on this urge anytime soon, sadly. But I can dream while I finish the project I started last winter of painting my kitchen cupboards.
www.blairpeter.typepad.com ahhh creative bliss and search out her fabric flowers!
