I've been sooooo busy!

I know everyone is always busy, so being busy is no excuse for letting other things slip by the wayside. The truth is though that with one of my husband's brothers getting married, two of my sister in laws being pregnant (one with twins) all of the aforementioned needing showers, along with my eldest's birthday, I have been swamped.That along with all my regularly scheduled crafts I do I haven't scarecly had time to breath this last month. Before the craziness really started I came across the bow board above at a garage sale for two dollars. I took out the middle and painted the frame and recovered the middle with a fabric to match my youngest's room. I have been making bows for the past few months and I needed a nice place to hang them. I decided to make something to decorate my daughter's room while at the same time providing a practical place to hang the bows I put in my girls hair.
I made another magnet board for one of my as yet unborn newphews. We threw a shower for my sister in law one week after the shower for my other sister in law who is having the twins. I stayed up till one making that gift. I could have bought something but we didn't have any money and I had the stuff to make a board. I really hope my sister in law likes it.
The other reason I've been crazy busy last month was that I had a wedding cake to make. I think it turned out great. I'm not sure they really loved it but I only charged them $85. I don't know if I'll keep making wedding cakes. I get so crazy over them and it hurts me when people seem a little dissapointed with all the effort. I also did a cake tasting and it was the day after the wedding cake, needless to say me and my kitchen were covered in powdered sugar for an entire week.

Anyways sorry if I've neglected visiting blogs or commenting. I've just been busy with life. I'm going to get caught up on what I missed in your blogs my dear friends, I promise.
