Halloween Shirt

I have a hard time finding the right Halloween shirt.  I don't like 'em too cheesy, but yet I like them to be cute.  So since I am on this crafting kick, I knew making our own was the only option.  This was made with heat transfer paper and my trusty Silhouette machine (which I love and cannot say enough things about).  I designed the image  and added Mason's name, love how it turned out!  I will get a photo of him in it too...but taking a photo of a running around almost 18 month old is so hard!


Cupcake Poppers!

How cute are these?!  And they are equally simple.  Just mini cupcakes with the bottoms cut off.  Fill with your favorite frosting!  The possibilities are endless... think holiday colors, birthday parties, etc!

Camera Strap Cover

We recently got a new DSLR camera and I am having a blast learning how to use it!  Being as its a larger camera you kind of have to wear the strap around your neck to keep it safe.  Not that the "Canon" logo isn't cute...but I wanted to jazz it up and I have seen other make them on etsy and various other blogs so I thought I would give it a whirl.  We'll call this 'version 1' so dont look too close because there are imperfections.  I figured out that I need to just make the fabric wider when I cut it because I think I ran way too tight on the hem line. (which will probably cause the work to fray in the future).  Anyhow, stay tuned because I am doing this again and I think I am going to add a pocket as a place to hold the lens cap... because for sure..I will loose it otherwise!

Flower Cupcakes

I decided to do a little baking for our play date this week, who doesn't love a good indulgent sweet?  I had been wanting to attempt flower cupcakes and surprisingly had no trouble whipping these up!  Don't you want to just reach though the screen and try some?

My Cutie Models

Nothing makes me more excited that seeing people wear the stuff I made them.  Everything looks so much cuter on!  These 2 are no exception and both look adorable (if I do say so myself) in their items!!  S & J--love to you both and enjoy!
