Busy crafting and girliness

I'm already feeling the Christmas push. I know, way early, but I make a lot of the stuff and there is a HIGH chance I will not be able to do last minute gift making. So I've started doing that and getting ready for our girly girl(Yes, we've had a second ultrasound where the Dr. said it looks like a girl, so that is likely what this next one will be). Tonight while 007 was at a work party, I got to work.

First on the list, a pillow case for my fish loving fry.




Next up, a rice fish to distract BK away from his brother's plethora of rice filled fish. Ed hordes these things, and I hate that he is making me make one, but I promised and it will keep the crying to a minimum.



Finally a meitai for a newborn. I used left over scraps from an old futon cover and some stuff from the quilt I'm making her.




Oh, and I want to share the pumpkin and chocolate chip cake/bread whatever I made in the rice cooker two days ago. It was DELICIOUS and it was gone in 24 hrs. Plus it was easy peasy. I may have to write down that recipe.




What you can't see is all the pieces, except for the appliqué, cut out for BK's airplane quilt got cut out, Ed's gold shirt cut out, daddy's surprise present(if I can get to it) cut out, and an apron for BK's birthday cut out. Now, to sew. Anyone have any hints or tips for sewing with satin? I found some great pieces in the scrap bin so I'm using that instead of lamé.
