More to come--No, really! And not in the "I'm saying 'more to come' because I feel insecure about what I actually made, but I'm not going to actually get around to posting anything new for another 6 months" kind of way.
I have finally broken through this weird crafty version of writer's block that I've been suffering from for YEARS.
And these are the first fruits of my labor:
Ta-da!
OH, and:
Behold, the Kai-lan cake. The other day Makayla woke up and said "Mommy, can we make a Kai-lan cake?" Her little jewel eyes searching my before-coffee morning face. Normally, when I consider the level of difficulty and effort and clean-up these little requests entail, I toss out some kind of excuse like "Oh, mommy doesn't have the stuff to make a cake today," or "Maybe! We'll see..." The kind of balogna that toddlers can see right through. But I just couldn't bring myself to rain on her parade. So off I went to the grocery store, to buy a box of cake mix and powdered sugar. Several hours and puddles of frosting later, my masterpiece was complete. I'd just like to note that I made this thing with NO pattern or instructions, not even any conventional frosting tools; just a butter knife, a medicine dropper, and a picture from the internet. I'm not gonna lie; I'm pretty friggin' proud of myself for this one. :)
