What do three very close friends do when they move far, far away from each other? When they're close enough in heart, they do the same silly things, and just call each other more often! And then start a blog so they can share the wacky visuals!

Easy-peasy bandana tablecloth
I made this today in under an hour- I went into it knowing we would likely make a mess out of it at the party this weekend, so I wasn't terribly concerned with making my stitches perfectly straight, or having perfectly lined up squares (note to self: if you WANT very neat lines, DO NOT WASH BANDANAS BEFORE YOU SEW THEM!!) Karen or Ruby can narrate if they feel sparky, but the jist of it is, line your squares up one by one, sew across so you have 3 strips of 3 bandanas, then join those down the long sides. Poof, magic! Bandanas run about $1 each, and you can do up any color combo you want, so think of avoiding those icky plastic disposables for holidays and birthdays!

Birthday Fun
So, my daughter turned 5 last weekend. And she LOVES Princess Sofia. So guess what I had to find?
Yep!
My mother, THANK GOD, was able to sew her a dress that looked like it would survive more than 5 minutes.
Of course, I was going with my heart cake plan again. Very simple
actually. Take a square cake, turn it at an angle, take a round cake,
cut in half, place each half on a side of square & voila...big
heart! Then I happen to have a small heart pan, so I just stacked it on
top!
Now of course, we had to set the theme with more than cake. Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby candy molds & cookie cutters!!
Her friends had such a good time & so did she! I think everyone came together on the theme!
Yep!

The fun part, I wanted to marble the color of the batter. So I made my batter, split it into two bowls, colored, then alternated pouring them in & ran my spatula through it to make some swirls!

Last cake for awhile
I enjoyed this one! Coming up with a way to do a creeper (Minecraft) without fondant was a challenge.
I need to work on my straight lines a bit, but I'm pleased!!
