Birthday time again

Lexi's and Joey's birthdays are upon us again.  As usual, I made the shirts for them to wear.  This year Lexi wanted to be Tinkerbell.  She didn't have the costume, so of course, I had to make one for her to wear for the picture on her shirt.  Joey was Luke Skywalker like he was for Halloween, so I was able to use his Halloween picture for his shirt. 

This is Lexi in her Tinkerbell costume.

Now that the first of the birthday parties is over, I need to make the cakes for the next one.  The first party is for their school friends and I buy the cake and have their pictures in their costumes put on the cake.  I make the shirts for that party so that they can wear it at both parties. The next party is a family party and I make the cakes for that one.  I make cakes that match their theme, just like with the shirts. 

Besides working on the birthday things, I have been knitting socks.  I have several pairs made and I will blog them another day.
