You see, it's been a pretty mellow week considering just seven days ago I had my appendix removed. I've been out of work and I'm on light duty at home for everything including being able to lift Lucas (which has been the hardest part). Luckily I have amazing parents who came to stay with us and help out. They cooked, they cleaned, they helped with our son. It's been incredible!
While my mom was here, we picked up a few of those little all-in-one cross stich kits. Remember those things you used to do in the 80's? Yep, those. So I figured it was only fitting I dove into the ice cream cone. It took a little while to get the hang of it but I really enjoyed myself! I see a new, relaxing hobby in my future :)
Want to see the step-by-step of how it came to be? Check it out:
It doesn't look like much here, but trust me... it's coming along!
One scoop, done! Now onto the cone... I found this really therapeutic. You do have to love the process though, because it takes quite some time. And it involved keeping track of your lines, counting, etc. Very enjoyable for me.
Oooh NOW I can see the ice cream cone! Time to add some 'sprinkles' and a nice melting effect.
Now just a few extra details on the cone and we're all set!
Okay so it's not perfect, but I think it turned out adorable. And with few ingredients ;)
Thanks to my little 'helper' I was able to tackle this in an afternoon. Here's a question... what the heck am I going to do with it? I thought it would be cute on top of a little mason jar as a gift, but maybe not specifically this ice cream one. My mom suggested adding it to a homemade card. Any other thoughts?
Now I just decide which 'treat' I want to whip up next!

Would you want to frame it in your kitchen? I think it's adorable! Maybe put it in your Son's baby book or a scrapbook that you have?
Cute ideas Amy! Maybe a "how sweet it is" page in his scrapbook :)
