We had a lovely egg hunt and even managed to score some actual seats in church this morning (not an easy feat!)For our big dinner, we will enjoy a prime rib, and I decided to make an Octopus-shaped cream cheese pound cake.
Easter Octopus instead of Bunny? A bit strange? Well, I had the pan already and didn't want to get another bundt pan.
IF YOU GET THIS PAN, BE SURE TO SET IT ON A COOKIE SHEET OR IT WILL BECOME UNEVEN AND DUMP HALF OF IT'S BATTER INTO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR OVEN!
Don't ask me how I discovered that little tip. Errrggg...
As for the view in the picture I posted this time, well, it's a rare and fleeting view of my feet.
Any guesses as to why the view of my feet is going away? Hint, it's super exciting good news.
Oh and one last thing - check out this sneak peak of a baby quilt over at Happy Apple quilts. Look familiar? Hm, looks like my banner. I LOVE this quilt pattern, and think it looks really pretty in 1930's repro's too.

take lots of pics of those toes, for if my thought is right it may be a while til you see them again! :-) Congrats.
Congrats on the happy news!
Super exciting good news!? That sounds wonderful! Congratulations! ^^
Hmm... any pictures of that cake? It sounds like it was one cool creation!
Hi Marisa! Yes, it is the same as your banner - I wanted to try the 'Make It Simpler Paper Piecing' technique by Anita Grossman Solomon. It was fun but removing all those little bits of paper was a 3 evening, in-front-of-the-TV marathon! Also lots of pre-sewing, prep work with glue, etc. Maybe I would make the split nine patch or a star pattern (after awhile)!!! Thanks for the mention on your blog ; ) !!!!
Hmmm... either you've decide to start wearing cowgirl boots or... could it be? Will they be obscured by a baby bump? That sounds like grounds for joy and "best-news-ever"status.
I suppose we will be seeing a baby quilt in the future?! Congratulations :) Lovely shoes, by the way!
Are you going to have a baby?
Serious question...
When you make an all taupe quilt, do you use a taupe back?
(I just got 7.5 yards & am feeling very guilty about using it for a back... I would be great for applique - it is a light.)
Oh & there is a GC waiting for me at Pinwheels - luckily I get to go to Lancaster to retrieve it!
Congratulations! That is wonderful news. I'd love to see the cake, too.
Ohmygoodness! Congratulations! I feel a baby bump coming!
Yay Marissa! Happy, happy news! I hope you are feeling okay...
I'm not sure how to do the autoredirect and all of that, but my blog has been moved to http://blog.elizabethbaum.com/
Hope to see you soon! Elizabeth
Congrats!!
Hmmmm I think I know why.. :D
P.S. Cute shoes. Haha
Oh exciting! Might there be a baby quilt in your near future? :) Congrats if so! :)
OK - Now I got it! That's why baby quilts are suddenly attractive - congratulations and best wishes!
:)
Looking forward to see the view fleeting and wishing all the best, Marisa!!!
Ugh I KNOW we totally need to hang out at some point!! Do you have plans tomorrow during the day? We could go get coffee or something.. Gimme a call any time. :]
And the book you're thinking of is called Ender's Shadow, and it is seriously almost as awesome as Ender's Game. I actually liked Ender's Shadow more than Ender's Game the first time I read it, it's AWESOME! You must read it.
Love you!
Take a good look at those feet. Congratulations!
I am absolutely in love with those shoes! And congratulations on your good news!
