Sewing table





This was such a fun project! Well actually Brandon get most the credit cuz he is the one that actually sprayed it for me. But I did sand it and put the handle on and I helped him put make a new top for me. Its so much fun when it goes from that ugly thing to my new and beautiful table. I also found a chair to go with it at a yard sale for 2 dollars that I will post when I get it finished too.

My Sewing Machine Cover



This is my new sewing space! I'm so excited about it because it makes my sewing time go so smooth and easy and I never have to put my mess away when its meal times anymore. Oh and the rack that is holding my ribbons and my thread is an old hook thingy from the shop that use to hold counter top samples. This thing is awesome it will hold like 100 different threads.

Our chocolate sisters thing!

All of the craziness
Not very professional but they are there own kind of pretty
Just a couple of cakes:
 One was for a raffle it was rich moist chocolate mmmm.
The other one was a Birthday cake I did for my nephew Josiah. It has Bakugans on it.
 If you have no idea what those are (as I did not when I made the cake) you can look them up:http://www.bakugan.com/s4/home/home.html
That is if you even care! :)

Brads birthday




So a couple days before thanksgiving is Brads birthday (or after depending on what day of the week it lands on) We don't usually have alot of mula to go out so this is how we improvise at home:

I found a recipe for smoked salmon and did some home-made mmm! So the price of that went from
$25 down to about $10.
We had fruit cabobs and fruit dip. We also had some chocolate ganache for the fruit.
There was baklava,
Steak kabobs,
I can't remember what kind of cake that was, some buttery fattening kind I'm sure.
And that Crusty looking blob on the bottom is Baked bree with home-made puffed pastry.

Pretty Apron



I actually made two aprons one has the fringe on the bottom and the other doesn't so I added both. Looks cuter on though. The link to the web site has a FREE! :) apron pattern. The link is an awesome website for patterns. http://sew4home.com/projects/kitchen-linens/578-retro-fun-vintage-style-apron

My Dining Room


This is Actually the next door dining room but it was identical to mine, even the table. As you can see I have a different table now though, It was a clear oak table that I refinished with a dark stain on the top and black painted legs, and yes that is a sick fly strip in my corner :)
