polka dot cake

Some pictures of the cake I made for Mardi Gras.

It is a yellow cake with buttercream frosting.

I used a Martha Stewart template and sugar crystals to decorate.

It wasn't that hard to decorate but time-consuming.

More Photos

Here are some photos of my collection "Summer On Coney Island- 1942". My doll Emma Elizabeth Genovese is modeling them. The first one- the one with the black-and-white stripes- is called "Cocoa". The second one is called "Provencal Ticking". I did not make the cardigan she is wearing with them, but I sewed both of the skirts. They are a very simple style that I call "drawstring waist"- it is a pencil skirt with a drawstring at the waist that makes it adjustable. 

Some Pictures

Here are a few pictures of a project I did in Febuary for my cousin Mary Colleen. Since they were a 1st birthday present, they are in a very small size- for a baby or a large doll. The box is a compartment to hold them. I am posting the 3 main photos- I'll post some more with detail later.

A Beginning

I don't know what this blog will turn out to be. But today I'm going to start by explaining this blog. I am an amateur sewer/knitter who does small projects, & I plan to start a business on "Etsy". My largest project so far has been a doll clothes set for my cousin- I'll post photos of that later. Anyway, I'll probably post once or twice a week- you can check whenever you like, but for starters that's my timeline.
