Baby leggings!

I LOVE baby leggings! They are so stinking cute but they can get pretty pricey. My favorite way to make them is super easy and super quick. I usually just go to the store and buy adult knee high socks-my daughter has always had chunky little legs so I've never had a problem with using these,even at 4 months old... :)

What I like about using the adult knee highs is that there are so many different patterns for pretty cheap, they usually have some for each holiday, and most of the work us dine for you! So, I take the socks and cut off the foot part at the ankle(you can make it shorter if your baby has short legs) and then I fold that under just barely and sew in a circle. That's it. Done. And for less than $5!

It's been awhile..

Well life has been a little busy in between balancing school work and staying home with my little princess. I love it though!I've been able to watch her learn to sit up,roll over,get her bottom two teeth in,start scooching around,talking more,standing...It's just been a true blessing to be able to stay home with her! I couldn't be happier staying at home, but it does occasionally get lonely. I have a blast playing with my baby girl but I really needed a hobby when she's sleeping to keep me from going crazy ;) so I've picked up sewing and I've been scrapbooking and cooking and just crafting alot more. It's been a blast! I made the fiancé a Pacman cake for his birthday and it turned out super great! I had so much fun making it and I discovered that I really love baking :). The cake was pretty simple. I used a box mix on it because the fiancé LOVES the rainbow cake mix.The princess helped me to mix it of course :) After the cake cooled I covered it in buttercream icing and then rolled out the blue fondant. I've never worked with fondant before so I was a little worried but it was really easy to work with. I covered the entire cake and then cut out little shapes from a darker blue fondant to make the little maze pieces. I only needed a butter knife to cut through the fondant and it made the cake so cute! Then I put on little edible pearls to make up the rest of the maze and cut out little ghost and Pacman shapes to place on the cake. It took me about 2 hours total to make the cake but it turned out awesome and he was so excited about it.
