You Can't Win Them All

So I didn't win the popular vote on Etsy. I lost to a tree stump :o) It's a tree stump pillow - pretty unique, so I'll give them points for that! Who knows, maybe I'll win the the judges vote. Either way it was awesome to be in the top 40 finalist!

But I did win at Junior League. I was honored with the "Hat's Off" award for my work on their Black & White Hollywood Night invitation. I'm so bummed I'm going to miss the event - it sounds like such a fun time!!

Vote for me and you could win!!

Wahoo! I had completely forgot that I entered my needle felted le lapin pillow in an Etsy contest.. well I made it to the 40 finalist..

Come cast a vote for me and you could win an Etsy prize too!!

Here's the link

I'm sooo giddy I feel like a little schoolgirl :o)

Help, I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!

Where oh where has been my blog mojo? It's been buried under a pile of work!! Finishing up the Black & White Hollywood Night Gala invites. Wow! Let's just say that took most of my brain cells :o)

To honor a dear friend lost WAY too early to cancer, I'll be adding "CANCER SUCKS" buttons to my Etsy site. Proceeds will go to Breast Cancer research. We are seriously losing some amazing people to this... and as Forrest Gump says, "That's all I have to say about that"..sigh, miss you Julia..

And I promise to add some fun tutorials soon!!!

Cupcake Topper Swap

So I've started a line of cupcake toppers and they are sooo addicting! So addicting in fact that I've created a swap over at Swap Bot. I've opened it up to newbies, so here's your chance!

The title is Handcrafted Cupcake Toppers - Newbies Welcome. The swap is a set of (8) handcrafted toppers to one partner. And this is international - how fun!!

Hope you'll come join us!!

Baby Fun

I must be better about blogging! I have to say this year has been such an adventure with having our first baby. I'm constantly drawn more to creating baby related items, but I'm sure that probably is not a big surprise! And I've been sucked into Etsy. Once you start posting on there, there seems to be a magnet to pull you in :0)

One of my newest items is the Belle Baby Combo. It comes with a nursing cover, 2 soft burp cloths, and a matching wipe case.

I had originally made the set as baby shower gift for my friend Brooke, and it got some attention that I decided to make more! I'll be posting more styles later this week.

We are also offering baby shower cupcake toppers! Of course we can do any theme, but those storks and baby carriages call to me...
