Happy Birthday Cupcakes

Today's project, to help celebrate some friends' birthdays, is these fun cupcakes. Aren't they cute! Inspiration from the always inspiring Annie's Eats. Happy Birthday Shane and Rochelle!

Happy Mother's Day

I'm still trying to remember to take a picture of everything I make this year. This is a quick craft I've been looking forward to for awhile. Just a blank canvas, some paint and vinyl from my cutter (thank you sweetie). I'm hoping the message will sink in to my children's heads. :)

We have the best Mothers, Grandmothers and even Great Grandmothers! I hope you all feel loved and appreciated this weekend and all the time! And thank you for letting us call whenever we need your wisdom.

A Little Something I Made

One of my resolutions for this year is to take a picture of everything I make. Over the years I've made so many different things, especially gifts, that pass through my hands so quickly I've forgotten all about them. I'd like to have more of a catalog of ideas I tried and liked. So, I won't be posting them all, but here's a little sample.

I've been eyeing this Cosmo Cricket Early Bird fabric for a long time, so finally I decided to get a yard and see what I could do with it. It became hotpads, a quilted table runner, and a kitchen towel holder. It's such happy fabric. Who knew you didn't have to put up with ugly hot pads forever!

The table runner is reversible for a totally different look.

Happy Valentine's Day

We're so blessed to have great friends and family! We love you and hope you enjoy this Happy Valentine's Day!

We skipped the store-bought characters-we-don't-care-about Valentines for these. Fun, huh?


I made this for Gavin . The light bulb bit was a little trickier than I thought it would be, but once you get past the fear of shattered glass - it's no biggie!

I sure love my Valentine. He's already spoiled all the girls in the house today. What a sweetie.
