You will be missed.....

Jonathan May
You touched our hearts and ears,
taught us to appreciate the music.
You showed kindness and gentleness to all,
Had a love for children that is rare.
Always had time for everyone and
never made anyone feel they were imposing on you.
Your absence is deeply felt.......


This weekend very unexpectedly we lost our friend, teacher and conductor.
Jonathan May was a very special person that is going to missed
and never forgotten.

The Finshed Cakes!!!

Barbie came out better than she began.

The purple under leaked into the white fondant, Hubby wanted me to start over.
I was almost in tears.
Barbie was taller then the cake due to her being a ballerina. With bending the knees and stuffing cake crumbs and fondant in the front of her, we were able to get her more up right.

Have been told by every one in the house she has a big butt.

Yes there is a opalescence to the dress. I took sugar water and pink sugar painted it on in between the purple flowers. Wish I had some yellow dots to dot the flowers.
Made a bow at her waist.
And covered the doll so she is not pink.
The butter-cream frosting is the best I have ever made.

Here is the boys cake.Chocolate thru and thru for mud with worms coming out all over.

The Beginning's

The sections are baked. (looking rough since I took them out of the pan to soon and stuck to the counter)

Homemade fondant, fingers are crossed since I have never worked with fondant.
Buttercream icing for the decorating and under line the fondant. Wanted Barbie and dress to match but instead we are having pink and purple. Note in first picture Barbie is pink...I colored the icing purple. ooppps.

Check back later for the finial cake.
I am very nervous of the outcome...

The Simple Woman's Daybook


For Today February 15, 2010
President's Day

Outside my window...
the sun is shining brightly warming the air slightly

I am thinking...
about my week and planning all the whens and where and what's

I am thankful for...
a pleasant and relaxing Valentines day

I am wearing...
my favorite beige skirt, socks and slippers, tank with sweater and another sweater.

I am remembering....
I need to make some calls to family let them know the plans on Friday

I am creating...
almost done with son's scarf and have a quilt sandwiched

I am going...
NOWHERE today!

I am reading...
"The guardian" it is at the point you want to jump to the end to find out
how it turns out, but you know that you will miss something.

I am hoping...
for another productive week.

From the learning rooms..
LLATL
Math
History of Presidents

I am hearing...
the show they are watching about President's

I am praying...
for my husband and his business

From the kitchen...
One pot -  tonight
Chicken and dumplings - Tuesday
Chicken Divan - Wednesday
Meatloaf and mash potato  - Thursday
Taco Soup - Friday
Homemade Pizza - Saturday

Pondering these words...


Around the house...
the morning cleaning done
laundry is in the process

One of my favorite things...
giving happiness to my children.

A few plans for the rest of the week...
the children's birthday party
making the cakes for the children
