Progress!

Hello friends!  I'm still here, I promise!  We are still in kitchen construction mode around here so I haven't taken the time to post since it started.  Just wanted to update you on a few things I've worked on over the past couple of months...sorry for the bulk post.  If you have kids, you know how summer goes.  They don't need anything until you sit down to try and write an intelligent and witty post on your blog :)  Here are some pictures of my recent projects as well as a few of the kitchen in progress.  Hope you are all enjoying summer so far!

Awesome Pinterest inspired island my husband built.  I LOVE it!

Happy "Birth"day!

When I say birthday day, I really mean it...well, at least birth week.  My neighbor who was expecting asked me to make a cake to celebrate the birth of their sweet little boy who just came home a few days ago.  What a great way to celebrate this special day and time in their lives!  I'm so honored that I was able to make his very first cake:)!!

Mom wanted to be surprised and wanted something different so I came up with the idea for the cake based off the colors in the baby's nursery which are so happy and fun!  The baby converse are, well, the cutest thing ever!  As most parents know baby shoes don't provide any function at all so being on top of a cake is perfect for them:)

I also received my new peony petal cutters from Global Sugar Art last week and had fun playing around with them.  Here is my first peony!

Enjoy your weekend everyone, and to my neighbors with the sweet new little boy...get some sleep when you can and congratulations!
