Tea and festivities

For your 2nd birthday you absolutely need a fancy new dress.  Bonus points if it includes your brand-new BFF.

Cheesy, pre-shirred Dora fabric? Check. Five inches magically cut from the middle and re-sewn? Check. Fit through the chest? Check. Toddler proof?

Um....

...no.

Ok. I'll re-try the ribbon straps I made initially.  At least I got the tea set done. In addition to the scrumptious Strawberry Lemon Cake there are some lovely chocolate tea cakes available.

Yum!

And a choice of lemon or herbal tea. Great!

What a fancy party we can have!

I know she'll love some of her other presents, too. Like the Backyardigans sticker book.

And the DORA!!!! coloring book.

Rylee's teeth: 0. Mommy's sewing skills: 1

Or as my two-year old has been saying for months now...."Mmmmm! Tasty!"

The best part is, they're fat free!

Strawberry Lemon Cake

Ingredients:
White Felt
Hot Pink Felt
Yellow Felt
Thread
Stuffing
Several hours of TV time
Patience
Reading Glasses

I got the tea set itself done. Two more of these, a chocolate cake and two heart cakes and the felt present is complete! They're both easier and more time consuming than I thought.
