| Happy Mother's Day My husband REALLY loves me! |
Today I got to use my Mother's Day Gift for the first time! I made a cake with my toddler for my mother-in-law's birthday. There were still a few lumps in the batter so I don't think I let the Kitchenaid do its' thing long enough. The icing was SUPER light and fluffly though! This weekend I am going to try two chiffon cakes, one gluten free and one regular. I have a recipe from the good people at Kitchenaid so hopefully they will both work out.

I also completed Chickenbutt's Sir Topham Hatt doll. I have to say that it looked a lot better before I sewed the applique down. I used the (cheap) Heat N' Bond and am not very happy with the end result. I did not find that it stuck very well and it is quite crunchy to the touch. If I were to redo Sir Topham Hatt I would use felt. I think it is more toddler friendly. I also should have cut him out right side out, he is not quite even. I would have liked more green background. However since Chickenbutt is currently playing with a paper print out of Sir Topham Hatt I think this will be OK.
Oh! My little puffin has turned into a Wren, a happy little songbird!
