Quilt top finished, Hannah's birthday

Quilt top finished!  Simple design, 6" squares, in a streak of lightning setting.  All those Kaffe fabrics in the quilt are so gorgeous.

I got inspired when it came time to make Hannah's birthday cake this year!  I had seen Molly Yeh on Girl Meets Farm make a Barbie cake, and this is my version.  The cake and frosting were both delicious - lots of butter and cream cheese, what's not to like?  But it was difficult to frost the cut edges of the cake.  Oh well, the sprinkles helped, and Hannah loved it!

Happy birthday, Hannah!

Hannah and her little man, Henry, so handsome!

 

Birthday "Bash"

Recently celebrated my birthday - 58th, how can this be? And my darling family waited on me all day - so I could spend some quality time sewing, of course!
Started the day with homemade waffles and bacon (Scott made the waffles, on his new Christmas gift waffle iron).

I requested an easy to fix dinner:  ham, mashed potatoes, meatballs, and salad.

Now for the good stuff! Mmm, chocolate frosting, homemade by darling daughters!

Making a wish...I love this picture...Christmas lights and decorations, and sweet Scott looking on...

Did I get my wish? Of course I did - I have the best family in the world, and I got to spend my entire birthday with them.  What's better than that?
