I've been stitching a TON in the past few months. Cherry Lane is starting to pop up in the stitching world, and I am thrilled about it! I'm currently working on a Canadian Flag, my American Flag and British Flag are on the market and doing well, and I have a lot of ideas for more designs. I need to stitch like crazy to get everything done!
It's not that I needed a break, I just had a weekend full of the other crafty fun things that happen in my life. My good friend and baker extraordinaire, Siobhan, needed to make 125 cupcakes and a cake for her friends wedding. I spend Thursday night at her house baking. We had 2 Kitchenaids going and managed to hammer out all of the baked goods in... I don't know... maybe 4 hours? The next day she made all of the icing, and then it was back to work on Saturday to assemble everything. I played assistant while she piped EVERYTHING. It all turned out great!

I also love to knit, but while I really enjoy it, I find it monotonous at times. That's why I love to knit teeny tiny things like baby booties! I can whip up a pair of booties in one night if I want to, and that is pure satisfaction. On Friday my good friend Destinee found out that she is going to have a little girl. So on Saturday I knit her a pair of booties to celebrate. She absolutely loved them, and I'm so happy for her.
By the way, I used a free pattern to make these, so I'm happy to share: Baby Slippers Knitting Pattern
On Thursday I baked. On Saturday I knitted. On Sunday I baked again! This time I made a blueberry bunt with some of the wild blueberries that we picked back in July. I have about 5 quarts of them, still, so there will be more baking in out future!
I used a simple, delicious, recipe from Martha Stewart, and my cutie pie helped me out!
