Help!


Alright, I could use some suggestions from Moms or picky eaters who may have encountered this problem. Adam is really only eating fruit and granola bars. Yes, I know that's a good thing, but you haven't smelled his diapers or applied the Desitin. I can't get him to eat cheese very much anymore and could use some help on trying to get him to eat other things. He's a real picky eater. I'm also out of ideas (that's pretty easy to say when I'm preoccupied with classes). So if anyone has suggestions, even those of you who don't have kids, but might have been picky eaters. HELP!

PJs


Another Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. I finished these a while ago, but keep forgetting to post a picture. They're a satin backed flannel. They're really slippery, Adam likes petting my leg when I wear them. It was really simple to make especially because Travis gave me a serger for Christmas. Don't worry it was used, but it's top of the line and only a few years old. I think it will help encourage me to make for thing in the future. After graduation of course.

Have some cake and eat it too...

Alrighty here's the deal, I'm in a cake decorating class and I have to decorate cakes. (Duh!) Anyhow I brought the first one home, and it the frosting didn't turn out right, but that didn't stop my lil' guy from making me laugh at the otherwise frustrating subject.
(P.S. Jenna it was a chocolate scratch cake)

He's goin' in!

We have a direct hit!

Mmmm, not bad!

Well, I tried to get away with it!

I was assigned to make a service cake and I did. This one was a scratch white cake. That was a first for me. It turned out pretty good, but really, really, really sweet. Did I mention how sweet it was? :)

I made a Jumper

No, for once, I am not referring to Adam. My mother-in-law made a jumper for her daughter and I thought it was way cute. So, for Christmas Christine (my mother-in-law) gave me a pattern and a note that said "IOU fabric and notions for one jumper" I was so excited. I made it just after New Years with direction from Christine and little bit of help. Isn't it cute! I'm so proud of it. Unfortunately I worked on it for more than 10 hours, and felt like I wasted her day. Thanks Christine! I love it!
