Inspired

 Don't we find our ideas in the funnest places?  I bought this book for school and brought it home for the girls to hear.  It came highly recommended by our five-year-old friend Jillian.  Betty Bunny was reluctant to try something new, but whoa! once she did it changed everything!  Let me tell you if you have a small person in your house who doesn't want to try a new food, this is the book! 
 After reading the book three times we made our own chocolate cake to "taste test."





Then there was THIS sweet book I couldn't resist buying.  Just look at that cover.  It was the immediate inspiration to do a cupcake quilt for Ceci.

 I fully expect the kid quilts to be dragged around and spilled on so the attention to artsy detail is minimal. 
  I love the little mouse!
 I used lots of bits from my stash.
So, now, after rummaging in the closet to see if I had a piece of batting that would fit, I discovered I don't.   Sigh.  School is back in session next week, though, and I'll be able to pin this on the library tables.  It's SO much easier that way!

Have a good weekend!
