Once again, I do not have a photo taken today.  This is a photo of the quilt I made for my sister and her husband for their wedding present.  I used the Star-lit Lilacs pattern and coordinating fabric.

Catherine kept Joey entertained today by aiming the mirror on her star toy (on the swing table) at the window so it would reflect the sun to the floor.  Joey has suddenly realized how great Catherine is.

January 26 ~ Day 26

I have no pictures from today so I am sharing one of my baking jobs from last January.

A friend was turning 50 and her husband threw a surprise party.  He requested 50 cupcakes for the celebration, so I made a cupcake for each year.  Half were vanilla and half were chocolate.  Each cupcake had a year on top.

Auntie Crystal loves reading to Catherine.  Is it a Richard Scarry book?

Auntie Jeannie got some baby toys out. 
This motivated Catherine to keep up with tummy time and work on her neck muscles.
