making stuff...the party edition

Izzy had a party a couple of weeks ago dontcha know?

So, I knit her this hat.


Because I needed a good picture for this invitation. (her middle name is walker but I shortened isabella to "izzy b" awhile ago and it stuck :)


And I have a sewing machine that is begging to be used so I made this banner to hang some pictures from for a display of her first year in photos.


And then for favors, I made some fun pinwheels and clipped them to some brown paper lunch sacks that I sewed shut with my sewing machine. That thing is proving to come in handy.


I made this little cake too. My first buttercream frosting ever. And it was good. And buttery. And way pinker than I intended. But I never used a gel color before. Lesson learned.


She seemed to be fine with it though :)
