Megan told me before I even finished her first pair of socks that she wanted a stripey pair. I wasn't quite sure how to go about such a thing but finally bit the bullet and started some. When she came out of her bedroom the morning after I finished them, she got a huge grin on her face and said, "Mommy, they're just what I wanted them to look like!" What a girl! I'm obviously not done yet but here's the socks! I won't do stripes again. Sewing in that many ends with yarn that is this thick leaves grooves in the socks that I wouldn't think are very comfortable. We'll see what she thinks. Here they are, though!

For church last night we needed to bring a dessert and since it's so close to Valentine's Day, I had to bring some V-day cupcakes. I found these cupcakes and they turned out great...
...probably due to my adorable helpers. Here's adorable helper #1.
First I got the foil balls ready...
and got out my cutesie cupcake liners
and mixed up the cake batter (the strawberry jello was added right after this picture was taken)
Here they are ready to bake!
beautiful!
Here they are ready for frosting!
Here's adorable helper number 2!
"Mommy, I need to eat this one because it's too small!"
Done!
Aren't they cute hearts??

I have some unfinished projects that I'm working on. Here's a hint of what they are. Any ideas?? When I finish them, I promise to have a full post with big pictures. This is just a promise that I'll do it.
