The Dallas Cowboys Baby!

My friend Justine is going to be an aunt very soon!  Her soon to be nephew Connor's room is going to have a Dallas Cowboy's theme to it so I figured it would only be appropriate for his diaper cake to contain the same theme!  This was my first little boy diaper cake and I had such a fun time creating it!

So Lydi Wanted a Lamp. . .

Sam's 6th birthday is coming up and we always get the other child a little something when one has a birthday!  Lydi wanted a lamp for her new Avengers room.  I looked online and saw they were quite expensive so I decided I was going to make one myself.  I ordered some fabric off of Etsy for $12.00 and grabbed an old lamp from my college days that had cost me $2.00 and painted it all up and here we have it, a $14.00 Avengers lamp.  I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow!

Jana's Baby Cake

A good friend and co-worker is having a baby girl!!  She was given a baby shower at work and I offered to create a diaper cake for the center piece.  I knew she was doing the room is yellows and grey so I wanted to use that as my color palette.  I really enjoy personalizing the cake as much as possible so I wanted to use her baby's initial.  I really wanted this cake to be different from all of my bright colored cakes so I decided to wrap the initial in twine then add rosette embellishments and pearls to almost give it a vintage feel, however when all was said and done I needed to add one more color to brighten it up just a little bit.  Knowing Jana's favorite color is green I had to add some green to the cake!   Here is how it turned out...!

Her finished cake!  I did notice how one flower had fell down so I fixed it after I was done taking pictures! 

My first wrapped initial, I need more practice but it didn't turn out too bad! :)
