Happy H-owl-oween

I almost subjected my beautiful arm flappin' cutie to her big brothers old cow costume, till daddy spoke for her using the 'voice' and the 'face', I'm sure you all have your versions in your house. While I fought off my mother's voice telling me that 'she will never know' and 'doesn't even care', I just finished a last minute bird costume -complete with feet- for my little Sweetie Pie-la. I will admit she's getting the felt and hot glue dregs of my imagination today but I think it turned out Owl-fully cute. She better flap those little arms of her's, that's all I've got to say.

I wish I was this ambitious- check out this handmade costume, it is absolutely gorgeous, Early Bird Special: Crafting a Costume, she used Martha's wing pattern, and why wouldn't she Martha is the best: http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/masked-owl-costume I have to say though, I usually just "wing" it, hehe. Happy 1st Halloween to any newbies out there.

The Sights of San Francisco

If you know me or if you don't, you probably don't really know what I do. I am a stagehand. What is a stagehand? I have heard that one before, that is for sure. We make things - out of next to nothing, and a little tape, we build, we install, we craft, we create. We make the fun you have happen. The sights of San Francisco here are a little ambiance I created- with my aunt, a wonderful artist herself, for the SF Jamboree.

Cake Anyone?

Lets talk cake. Love it!! I come from a family of cooks and bakers. My mom and grandma make everything from scratch and I would never think of doing it any other way, and when I saw those cake shows I thought "I can make that!" and I did. These are a few of my favorites. Want one?
