I made a similar cake with raspberries last year, and I also made a batch of raspberry jam.

But, the reason I am writing is because it would be my dream to make a pair of little pants like this for my little 15 month old Emily (our number 6), but I just don't have the skills or know-how. How long did that take you to do and could it be something I could learn before she is out of diapers? I homeschool 4 children ranging from age 16 - 4. Would love to be able to do something like this for my family as I have been reading, pondering on and listening to sermons/teachings on the Proverbs 31 woman.Lisa Seegertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-38438459143476923242013-08-28T11:16:20.436-04:002013-08-28T11:16:20.436-04:00Yum!

But I feel I can just taste that yummy looking cake, Karen. What a nice treat for you and the Man-of-the-House. Hope you are enjoying the nice weather. Where I live it is still very hot and very humid but we think we can detect the slightest (only very slightest) dip in the temperatures of the breezes. Muscadine and scuppernong grapes are just about to come in here and we are looking so forward to that.

If I were queen of the calendar, the year would end in August and begin in September. Looking back with gratitude and forward with anticipation is a great blessing for God's child. I'm reminded of the verse that says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!" Thank you, Karen, for the reminder of God's faithfulness.<br /><br />We have a monster of a rose bush at our house in a bed near the road. We were in the yard one morning when a woman we had never met walked by to complain about the thorns on our rose. It turns out that she had "helped herself" to some roses when walking by one day. She, "hoped that was ok." She then went on to tell us that she had tried to pick them with her bare hands and had been bitten by the thorns. I replied with a vague, "Hmmmm..." We chatted a bit more, and then she walked on. My husband told me, with his own raised brow, that he had noticed that I didn't tell her not to worry about picking the roses. I replied that I would have been forced to say "It's ok that you stole our roses," and I didn't want to have that particular conversation, so I had chosen to say nothing. It really wasn't ok with me that she had stolen our roses. Had she knocked on the door to ask, we would have helped her cut them...thereby avoiding the theft AND the thorn pricks. <br /><br />My father has always used the term Fluffy Britches for little girls' diaper covers. I like the raspberry ruffles on the ones you made.<br /><br />Enjoy the day!<br /><br />Susan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
