Here are the cupcakes for Charlotte's birthday party.
Lightning Bolts
Golden Snitches
After the cupcakes were frosted (chocolate and vanilla), I used Wilton color mist to add the gold color. Then we added gold sprinkles and either lightning bolts or wings. The lightning and wings were made with colored chocolate and a mold.

It was a good day for a girl fixated on Harry Potter and horses.
The weather seems to have permanently shifted to cold around here, so Madelyn has been able to wear a couple of sweaters I finished earlier this year.
Nikau
Yarn: 4 skeins Rowan RYC Cashsoft 4 Ply
I made this one in the newborn size, but it came out big enough for her to wear this year instead.
Wait For Me
Pattern: Wait For Me from Miss Bea's Playtime
Yarn: 4 skeins Classic Elite Yarns Flash Print Marled in Lapis
I bought this yarn back in 2004 to make this sweater for Charlotte. She outgrew the sizes before I got around to it, so I cranked it out for Madelyn. And Madelyn is not actually standing by herself in these pictures; she's just leaning against the wall.
