I started lesson 2 this week, and am still struggling a bit with tension but it is getting better. I love all of the things that I am learning.
Between my first and second lessons I worked on a number of smaller projects, including 2 baby blankets. I also attempted my first color-work project, a stocking. It turned out great, and I intend to make several more for other family members before the holidays.
We have a slew of family celebrations coming up in the next few weeks which has me thinking about cakes. I have decided that I want to take cake decorating classes. I have looked into a number of classes in the community, and have found several. Most, however, seem to focus on making a cake decorating business, which is far more in depth than I am looking for. I really just want to be able to make beautiful cakes for my family to enjoy, and possibly to be able to make wedding cakes for my children when they are old enough. I am thinking of taking a wilton class, and although I want to start now, I think that with my family's busy schedule, I will have to wait until the fall.
