A stuffed animal friend for Jeremy.

Four-year-old Jeremy came to visit the Bakery today. I recieved the pleasure of helping him create some ultra sugary-sweet treats: cookie sandwiches filled with buttercream icing and then magnificent vanilla cupcakes, complete with colored sprinkles and maraschino cherries. I presented him with the little stuffed animal friend I made for him; he held it close to him and smiled. I hope it provides him with some comfort.

My first attempt at a stuffy-stuffed animal thing - and yes I was inspired by Hillary Lang's much more wonderful Wee Wonderfuls.

Been in shock all day.

Fifteen minutes into my shift at work today, my boss calls to tell me some horrible news about my friend. I still can't believe it. My whole time at work I couldn't help but be thankful for my life and the lives of my loved ones. I know it's cliche, but you really never know when your entire life will completely turn around on you.
