Twin Diaper Cakes

Hello readers! Cj emailed me pictures of the cakes she did for her hubby's cousin who is expecting Twins! She did 2 cakes one for each baby!. Each cake contains the following:

4 wash clothes
2 onesies
2 receiving blankets
1 safety item (one has a thermometer and the other outlet plugs I think she said)
1 Johnsons to go kit
1 bib
1 stuffed bunny
92 Luvs diapers size 3
3 trillions flowers! LOL

I was so excited about these pictures I could not wait to share! She did say that when she gets up and running for orders (which I am sure she will take whenever) these baskets would run around $75 each but can easily be made to any size budget simply by making them smaller or using store brand diapers or by leaving some flowers off.

Adventures in crafting Hell

Have you ever tried to do something you know you should be able to do and can't. That was me the other day. Someone asked if I could make a onsie for them. No problem. I pulled one apart (only took 3 hours) and mocked up a pattern. I should have known then that this was not going to go well. Well 4 revisions later I have a pattern I am satisfied with and off I go to cutting and sewing land. Got 1/4 of the way into it and I am already not happy. Not happy enough that there is no way they are getting this version and I scrapped it. I am frustrated beyond belief. Well the next day we were going out so I went and bought a pattern. Bring it home modify it and off I go. It only took me 3 hours to sew. A ONSIE! They are not that big! Ok I was really tired and could not see straight by the time I was done. Dave delivered it since It is someone he knows and I told him to tell her I was not happy and by no means did she have to take it. She thought it was fine! I did take a picture of the finished (even though I am not happy with it) product.
