Autumn Sock Monkey Wedding Cake Topper Update

Well the summer is flying by, school is about to resume, and people are planning their fall and winter weddings.

We were in the middle of a 1200 mile move during tax time last April, so we got an extension.  But guess what...time's up, and the taxes must be reported.  I spent all day crunching numbers (my least favorite activity). 

Now it's time for a blog reprieve and a glass of wine.  

Cheers to all of the Autumn wedding couples out there! 

I'll be making your cake toppers next week.

Mama FreeBird joins the Carnival Soiree!

Mama FreeBird is a WIP (work in progress). She doesn't have arms yet, or hair, or makeup, but she INSISTED on coming to Alice, the Socialite's Carnival Soiree anyway because she loves this kind of thing!

Here she is on my work table yesterday afternoon. We were discussing the carnival, and she said "You know, I'm not concerned with hair and makeup, oh it's true, I do have a lot of fun getting all made up, but all I need is a dress to cover this slip and I'm ready to go!"

So we threw together a pretty flower dress (which Mama LOVES), I sewed on her legs so she could dangle her feet in the water, or maybe enjoy a nice swing some day.

And now she is having the time of her life at the carnival!

Check back in a few days to see Mama's progress. She has a really great story of transformation to share, but that's for another day. Now why don't you join us at the carnival? We'll see you there!
