I need to take pictures of the fabrics that I have. A new customer wants to order custom diaper covers and she'd like to pick her own fabric. I have to have the album updated by tonight.

So I will have several diaper covers and a couple of fitted diapers sold tonight. How nice!

Spring is coming. The flowers bulbs my daughter and I planted last fall are sprouting. It looks like most of the sprouted. We will have a colorful front porch!

My free time is taken up by sewing and trying to go exercising. Now that it is warmer outside, I can take 15 to 20 minutes in the afternoon and go for a walk with the kids. I get some exercise then. However, I do miss the gym. Gym time gives me a feeling that I actually do some hard exercise.

So, I think I am going to rearrange my free time. It is harder now that the diaper sale is going on steadily.

What I am going to have to do is alternate the nights. One night sewing, the other gym. Besides, it'll give my muscles a night's break if I do it this way.

That's do-able. Unless we all get sick again. Heaven forbid!

I sew two small size pocket and one fitted diapers tonight. I've listed them for sale. I have five diapers up for sale at the moment. I will cut a couple more soon and will sew them later.





Made one more of this:


Now, it's bedtime.

The kids and I got up at 6:30AM today. I hit the floor running because my daughter was having several friends over for her sixth birthday.

First thing I did was baking her cake. I used a 12x12 pan but when the cake cooled and I transfered it to a cake board, one side of the cake split. I ended up just cutting the cakes into rectangles and formed a number six. I made chocolate whipped cream frosting with only a little bit of sugar. It wasn't sweet. It was awesome! It turned out light, too.

After final layer of frosting.


She wanted a simple cake this year. Relief!

It didn't occur to me then but this cake is similar to my 6th birthday cake that my mother made for me. Same number (obviously) only the frostings were cream and yellow. No writing on mine. My mother's cake and frosting tasted 100 times better than mine, too.

Anyways.

Last night, I sew this fitted diaper:

I have two of these made.

The kids and I woke up at 6am. It's okay because I am currently enjoying the sunrise, shining right into my bedroom. What a beautiful sight.

We'll have a busy weekend.
1) Clean the house for tomorrow's gathering.
2) Make a birthday cake. Thank God her request is simple this year. She just wants hearts on her cake. It'll be a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (whipped cream frosting, not too sweet) with hearts. So simple!
3) Dinner for tonight and possibly tomorrow night is oven roast beef with potatoes and veggies. Maybe I'll make lentil soup, too.
4) Sew more diapers and list them for sale.
5) Maybe attempt to make another dress for my daughter and a skirty soaker to sell.

I will have to get number 1, 2 and 3 done for sure. As for the other two, we'll see.
