Collective...sigh!

I came this close! to finally meeting the ladies of the FIBER COLLECTIVE...this close because as I was getting out of the shower, I heard a knock at the front door. It was my baker sister. She wanted to use my kitchen to bake a cake. I couldn't kick her out so she set up shop...sort of speak. Off I twittered my misfortune...hoping I might still be able to catch the tail end of the fiber goodness but it is currently 5:58 pm as I type this and my guest is still here. I will not be making the fiber collective meet once again...sigh!
I am back to the original reason this blog began...crochet. I've been very inspired as of late...I LOVE when that happens! sometimes all it takes is the newest issue of Crochet today! to flow the creative juices...
Just finished the baseball afghan...I say finished because the circle is done...not the baseball stitching but I will...soon.

I also started the afghan for my SIL...she's due in August, so I wanted something light and lacy...Mission Accomplished!

I love the way this is coming out! No pattern...my own creation.

okay...enough for today. I am here...I'm okay...and I will be back to normal in posting and online. Off to enjoy some tres leches cake and watch game 5 of the NBA playoffs

...Aloha!

This month The Morgan clan was tasked with surprising the MOTHER for her 50th birthday. It was great and she WAS surprised! We all had a task in the planning...I had the cake.

With the help of my baker sister. This is what we came up with. I also made the beach bag...remember this?

I still have one more item to complete...a Lei, I'll have it done this week. I know it's late but I was at a loss on the contruction of it. I think I've figure out how to now.

The family pitched in and bought the Mother a trip to Hawaii!

There's a Party in my tummy....with CAKE!

More cupcakes to share...These where made for my niece's 1st birthday. She loves yo gabba gabba!

My sister Stephanie did all the baking and Lisette and I, with the help of Stephanie did the decorating. *

She also made a cake but for some reason I didn't get a picture of it. Hopefully someone will email me a picture!?

Here's the cake!

*I made the fondant from scratch...I also colored most of it. I will NOT be doing that again!
