Have I ever mentioned that I love high-waist skirts?

Cause I do, I really do.

Plus, they’re super easy to make so that makes them doubly awesome! My newest one …

Marissa’s Bridal Shower Cake

by Joanna on April 29, 2012

Mom asked me to help her do the cake for Marissa’s shower, and considering how incredibly much I own her and dad for all they’ve done for us on our house, I agreed.  Plus, I was happy to be able to do something for Marissa!  Her wedding colors are tie dye so we wanted to make it as funky and fun as possible.

The ideas for Marissa’s cake were found on pinterest.  They were definitely not original.  Here are the links to the cakes we “borrowed” ideas from…

I used straws this time instead of dowels per advice from Alyssa, and they worked perfectly!  Also correctly crumb coated it without  extra frosting and it was so much easier to to keep from putting bumps in it.  I feel like I have learned A LOT even though I have still really only done two cakes.

Kinsley’s Birthday Cake

April 14, 2012

I’m not really sure what sparked my interest in cakes.  I have enjoyed “creating” things for awhile now, but it has always had to do with clothing, or making things for my home.  I am definitely a results oriented person and working hard for a rewarding outcome has always been satisfying to me.  This is why I think [...]

October 12, 2011

I  bought this tunic when I was preggo with Kinsley because it was way more flattering to a pregger than most of the maternity shirts I found.  I’ve been wanting to do something with it to make it longer for a while so I don’t have to wear a skirt under it, but just hadn’t gotten around [...]

Life, a work in progress. : )

August 26, 2011

If you’re anything like me, I am constantly thinking of things that I feel as though I need to work on to better myself as a person, or weaknesses I feel as though I have.  For a while now I have wanted a place to put these thoughts that I would have to look at [...]

High-waisted 50s(ish) style skirt

August 23, 2011

If I could go back to live in any decade, it would definitely be the 50s.  Women dressed themselves with class and elegance unlike our scantly clad generation, who barely wear enough to even be considered clothing.  “Less is better” seems to be the motto that this generation lives by and I can only imagine what the clothing [...]

Diaper bag diper/wipes strap.

July 31, 2011

After wondering for awhile what exactly I’d do with my website (Thank you Randy for setting one up for me!) I decided that it would be the perfect place to track the things I’ve made, ideas for the future, and how I think it turned out/if I’d want to make or do it again.  Now that [...]
