Noah's 4th Birthday Cake

Here are a few pictures of my grandson, Noah's 4th birthday cake.  You will see from his t-shirt that he is a great Mario Bros. fan.

My daughter, Katherine, and I had great fun making it.

His reaction on first seeing it, "It's the best birthday cake ever!".  I think he liked it.

Pink Toddler Dress with Overlay

This light, summery, dress was made for my granddaughter, Lily, for my eldest daughter's wedding in July.  The material is a plain dusty pink cotton, overlaid with a dusty pink gauze fabric. with a white flower print.  Two very small buttons were used for each of the straps.

 

 

You can see the colour of the underlay in the picture above.

Yellow Baby Play Dress

I made this dress from Prudent Baby's Snappy Toddler Dress online free pattern here, http://www.prettyprudent.com/2010/07/baby-kid/snappy-toddler-dress-2/

 

I changed the pattern slightly by inserting a pleat front and back, instead of gathers; and using buttons instead of snaps.

 

 Here are a couple of close-ups of the button and buttonhole, and the inside back neckline.
