yes, moms.

exhibit a}
when i realized i had some fabric, and that it was girly,
and that a girlfriend was having a baby girlfriend soon, i went for it.
{this is one of those patterns that looks like a lot more work than it is. and i love that.}

i think i’ll call it baby birdylicious.

{if you were to examine too close, you would note that this is not the quality of my mother’s handy work, but as it is my 2nd quilt, i will refrain from too many disclaimers…but when she was here, she may or may not have done the quilting….}

nevertheless, i just got off the phone with my mom who said,
“oh, i should go start {my niece’s} quilt….for her birthday…”
me: you mean the one that’s in a week? naturally. it will be done tomorrow….

exhibit b}
i have been craving this naughty creation
that won me a cake bake off @ {cc’s} work last week…
{its a chocolate/layered/toffee/wedding cake}

it should probably be cheating that it is my mom-in-law’s recipe.
they didn’t even stand a chance…

{sorry, recipe is secret. but believe me, its probably better that way….}
#proceed_to_gain_10_lbs….

on my phone:
cc: the competition is on. i think yours is high on the list, but someone brought a cheescake…
me: oh no! …well, there isn’t a prize anyway….
cc: just pride, baby.

ps, tune in tomorrow.  
some very exciting stuff is going down!
