Finally Got It Right

Almost finished the capris, just have to hem them. The legs are so wide, it's actually closer to gauchos or a split skirt but I like them and can't wait to finish the plaid jacket.
This picture shows the color better and it also shows what I finally got right. After making I don't know how many pairs of pants with a front fly I realized I had been putting them in wrong, my fly was always on the right, I was folding some clothes and noticed a pair of jeans and that's when I realized I've been doing it wrong for years, oh well better late than never.

Here's a picture of Kendall's birthday cake, he couldn't make up his mind so I helped him by suggesting chocolate. I wanted to try a new whipped cream frosting, it was so good, my cakes are ALWAYS from scratch I just can't bear a cake mix or that awful canned frosting. I actually saw this on some one's blog but I used my recipe and then just folded in the whipped cream. I should confess after saying everything is always from scratch this was the first time I made the whip cream, which all you do is whip heavy cream but it was awesome and I got my chocolate fix. My frosting recipe is really easy but since I don't measure I can't really post it, it's coco, butter, vanilla, a little sour cream, powdered sugar and warm milk or water until you have the right consistency, I think I probably folded in about 1 cup whipped cream, my kids always clean the bowl and they loved it.

That's my almost mid-week post, I hope everyone is having a great week so far.
