Course Two Final Cake

So I realized I never showed off my course two cake! Crazy! I made this cake for my sister-in-law Yumiko's mom. She came down for a visit from Japan and I wanted to send her off with a homemade cake :).

For once I used white icing haha. Sadly it was warm out so it started falling a bit :p. But doing the basketweave is really easy and it looks pretty amazing! I made pink primroes and blue violets. (yes I get that I made BLUE violets, I just had the colour on hand and didn't want to make any more).  It is topped with a shell border on the top and bottom. And finally light green leaves and vines. I was told it was very tasty (I didn't actually eat any lol). I really liked this cake :).

Mohawk Hat

I know, I know. It's been a long time since a post. :p But life gets busy, and even more so, I keep crocheting things and forgetting to take pictures of them. But this time I made sure I got pictures. My friend Kerri commissioned TWO mohawk hats (oy, they are time consuming to make), two matching scarves to go with the mohawk hats and another scarf to go with the kitty cat hat I made her before. So the mohawk hat was fun to figure out how to make it. I did a basic earflap hat, and then I took my rug hooker and essentially rug hooked a mane all over it. I think they look super cool.


Here is a picture of the side of that hat. Oh and in case your wondering the adorable children in the picture are my neice and nephew :).



And finally one more picture cuz it was so adorable!!!
