Covid Creativity

[bababear_50]

Only creative projects I did are to have three beach pics printed by Mixtile and I baked my youngest DD her birthday cake/cupcakes. Special cakes for their birthday is a tradition here, party or no party! I just made a smaller cake than I would have if she had a party.

Two days ago I started my get back to walking on the trails routine. To make it a bit more interesting I am collecting pine cones.
I wash them (outside) in a bit of dish soap and water and vinegar,,rinse,then put them in a produce bag and hang up to dry outside. I will move them to the garage to continue the drying process.
I then put them in a big baggie and add some cinnamon sticks, cinnamon oil and seal the baggie.
I give them to friends & Family with a new basket and bow.
This year I am adding a candle to each of the the baskets that I picked up via airmiles rewards.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we lived in a time where I could put the kettle on? I think we live near each other too! Some day maybe. I’d like that!

Those masks look fabulous. Love the fabric. Where were you able to find it? (unless it's a secret)

Merci!! She's obsessed with animals right now so instead of a party we went to our local zoo/rescue. I think the cake is what they are looking the most forward to. It always taste the same but they love to see what I did with their request/theme.

Great idea! I love the look of pine cones. I never find nice ones around here.

Most of it came from my stock pile (who knew I was hoarding for a pandemic) but I was able to aquire some on etsy. Some of the fabric on etsy is overpriced but if you look you can find some good deals.

I love the cake! Now my daughter wants that for her birthday. Had to say no though as I just purchased all the decorations for what she has already chosen. Maybe next year.

my latest creative outlet? sidewalk chalk!

let’s just say i haven’t found my calling...but it entertains my toddler and gives us something to focus on together, even for a couple of minutes

Mama is a talented artist!

Ps.
In the winter
Try black construction paper and chalk dipped in water.It makes cool pictures.

Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

My DH is making a small boat in the garage. It seats 4 people and will (hopefully) sail, row, and motor once it's finished. My contributions were buying him the boat kit for Father's Day and giving up my garage space and parking outside in the horrible Texas summer heat.

Thank you! The koala cake is probably the easiest birthday cake design I've ever done. I wanted to use fondant for the ears but that plan didn't work out so I used cupcakes instead. To save a lot of aggravation, I buy my black fondant and icing already black.

Noted for next year. I buy my black icing too.

our house is small so we maximize every inch as possible. We took out an old sliding door from our daughter's room and have started putting in a window seat. This is also part of a renovation of our deck...the dog will be happy when it's done, she has to get outside through the basement.
