Despicable Me!

I have to show you these adorable cake pops that my mom made. I can't believe how much they look like the real minions from the movie :) Hope you enjoy!

CUPCAKES GALORE!!!

I LOVE CUPCAKES!!! And I am not ashamed to admit it! I love baking, but the best part of cupcakes if definitely the decorating... There are so many ways to be creative :)

I tried something new on some of these... I melted white chocolate and poured them into all different shapes and patterns. I even managed to bend some of them as they dried to created a little shape.

Of course, you can never go wrong with sprinkles!

I absolutely LOVE cute wrappers... it is almost sinful to use them, but I can't help it! Plus, if I don't use them, I won't be able to buy more!

I know that the this is a little late, but here are some Super Bowl cupcakes!

Blankets

So I've really wanted to knit a blanket for some time now. And since I had no projects at the time, I decided,why not? So I began this blanket in January of 2010... needless to say, it took a while.

I had hoped I could give it to my friend as a wedding present in July, but of course that did not happen :) Oh well, it was a good Christmas present.

Anyway... after completing that blanket, my little sister begged me to make her one. "Sunshine yellow and light pink," she said. So after finding

'Sunshine yellow and light pink' yarn, I began (using a much simpler pattern this time around :)

Luckily, this one only took me two months instead of about eight! Of course, it helped that I wasn't knitting in the hot summer. So.... now that I have it down, I anticipate many more blankets in the future! Maybe I'll take just a little break before tackling the next one!
