What about the sewing?

When you have a family, sometimes you give so much that there is no time for the sewing.

Little Miss turns 7, and this is the Mermaid Venus de Milo.

I was at the $2 shop looking for a statue that ended up costing $6 (hahahaha), and looking at an entire wall of tiny statues... I said to lil man who is now 2 1/2, we need to find a mermaid, where is the mermaid, where are you mermaid? And out of the entire wall he picks up the only mermaid figurine.

I don't think he even knew what a mermaid was! But somehow, he has the intuition!

I used the wilton piping tips, butter icing, and sprinkled with hologrammatic edible glitter....

 Honestly, this turned out beautifully......

Here is the evidence that I created it myself...

And.... how did I know to make this a mermaid cake and not a unicorn? Because my little girl asked me for a mermaid quilt next time... ohhh yes! *fistpump*
