I have the coolest Grandma, for many reasons. But without knowing that I've wanted one for awhile, she gave me a cake decorating kit. This is the first time I've had a chance to use it and had fun from the first cupcake on through the last. Here's a picture of the fun I had. I'm already looking forward to the next time I use it.
Last weekend a friend from work hosted an ornament making/general craft making party. Usually this party happens in November in time for Christmas, but it was delayed this year. I'm happy it was since I can't go in November when we're usually out of town for bike racing. Here's what I made in the couple hours I was there. I started with some designs on a ceramic heart. Then I spent quite a bit of time putting bits and pieces of colored clay into molds to make the decorations for this painted picture frame. Now all I need is an Easter picture to go inside.
