A Birthday-ful Weekend

March 26, 2012 by Jodi 7 Comments

If the success of a weekend could be measured in the quantity of eggs and butter consumed, this weekend would have been the best ever. 

~~~

Somehow, in 6 years, this…

become this.

And because words are failing me, I will just show the cake.

A “digging for dinosaurs” one, as per the birthday boy’s request.

And as if that were not enough to get me all teary eyed and emotional…

Today, Gladys turned one.

I’m left speechless.

Except to say…

I am grateful to have had my mother-heart broken in and built up by these little people,

and that they give me so many wonderful opportunities to make cake.

Rainbow Cake
Inspired by my talented friend Barbara; Tutorial by Martha Stewart and Whisk Kid

    Aw, it was my daughter’s 9th on Sat. and my son will be 5 on Wednesday! I love March, but it is a bit hard on my mother’s heart too. Happy Birthday to your little ones!

      I made it from scratch! I’m all proud of myself!

      And I will never go back to American buttercream. This Swiss stuff is just too yummy!

    Happy birthday! I first met you on Twitter when you were pregnant with Gladys so that means we’ve been friends for over a year! Time flies when you’re raising babies, for sure!

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
