Cupcake Original Art " Will You Be Mine?"

Cupcake lovers unite! Features a cute yellow icing cupcake with the saying: Cupcake Will You Be Mine? This adorable piece would be a wonderful proposal to that special someone, or perhaps the perfect wall art for your little cupcake's room!

This piece is watercolor and marker on #110 Bristol. It measures 6x6 inches square with the art sized at 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches square.

I've been inspired recently to make "love" art. It first started with the "My Love For You Is As Big As A Whale" piece.

I've got some owl pieces coming up, and an adorable winter couple in an eskimo kiss.

Don't forget! There's only one more day left to get your entries in for the Custom Fairy Set Giveaway!

Flower Fairy Pin Listed! More to come!

Finally the pins are hitting my shop! I've had a bit of a stretch of not making any pins at all. I'm thrilled to say, they're making a come back though. I've got about 30 in various stages of complete and will be listing them as I get them done. As always, I do take custom orders for pins the same way I take customs for ornaments. I'm hoping to have a bunch done in time for Mother's day shopping as they're a perfect gift!

Meet Oskar

Meet Oskar! Number one in a new plushie series that I'm going to do. He's going to be the very first Eeppy Creepy Cuddlies. What do ya think? I've got a little story to go with him, but I haven't yet figured it all out. Hand and Machine embroidered with saftey eyes and hand cut felt teeth.

I'm back on a creation kick....

I'm finally feeling almost back to normal. Things have been a little nutty around here and it's caused me to slip into an uninspired mode. However, the veil is lifting! I worked on magnets a few days ago. I've got two of the sets photographed and the other I hope to have done tomorrow.

Then yesterday a creature appeared while I was visiting with my friend Lois. I took my box of felt to play around with thinking I was going to do more of the tropical felt pins, but couldn't get my head into them. I randomly cut out a felt shape after stithing up a small art doll I had waiting....and today Oscar came out! I'll be posting pictures of him tomorrow as he isn't quite finished. I think he turned out really cute!

Friday before my nephew comes for the day I'll be working on aprons for someone special! ;) The material is here and I have a pattern worked up..I just have to make sure the sizing is ok. I cannot wait to get into it. I'm in a sewing mood as of late!

So here are the magnets!

I've been a crazy busy girl!

Things around here haven't been too agreeable on the creative front! Unfortunately that means less time to spend on creating things, which means way less time spent on updating my blogs! However in the last couple of days I've been on some kind of neat freak, clean up, clean out mode! It's been great so far, but I've got a long way to go! Here are a few things I'd left unfinished and completed in the last couple of days.

A cupcake pin cushion:


A fun funky strawberry cupcake with chocolate icing! LOOK MA NO CALORIES AND FAT FREE TOO!
OOOOOPS! I just realized I don't have an image of that one yet! My darn camera is on the fritz (i hope it's just the battery!) and I could only squeeze out the image of the top cupcake!

And some ribbon pins I've been working on. I did the first two in the hotel while we were at the comic convention for the dear hubby! and the Blue one is from tonight!

Flower Pins made from socks. I loved this pattern on this sock and it just screamed to be made into a flower.

PALCHEMY #1

I'm participating in a project through etsy.com called palchemy. On etsy they have something they call alchemy. You can post what you are looking for and people make bids on the cost of making said thing. Someone then took the idea and decided to pair people up as pals. Either one person sends to a maker, or both are makers and senders, or some are just senders. I decided to do all three since I'm a packrat and have things to share. So I got paired with a lovely girl who's shop you can view here: http://ashabee05.etsy.com . She's got amazing yarns and beautiful knitting and crocheted items as well as jewelry. Check her out!

So this is a picture of the items she sent me. She sent some beautiful satin fabric (still not sure what I'm making with this... I think a doll will come from some of it, and then I don't know what will happen to the rest. Some nice faux pearls and a great skein of lion brand chunky yarn. So here is what I've come up with so far from the yarn she sent me. Meet Baasil Lamb. Isn't he cute! Another random amigurumi thing where I just crocheted along until a form came out. I think he turned out rather well. It took me a few tries to get his legs to match up properly. I never count as I go (which I should really learn to do) and that makes it a bit difficult. I should really start writing patterns down as I go so I can make things again when I want to.

I've got the amigurumi bug though. I absolutely adore Beth Doherty from GourmetAmigurumi. I think this is my favorite so far, but all of her stuff is absolutely adorable! My favorite:http://www.flickr.com/photos/38635695@N00/134858635/in/photostream/

Well I think that's all I have to say for now. I'm exhausted and work has been kicking my butt as of late. I'm hoping that things will calm down in the next week and I can actually get some art done!

New Fairies in the NEW YEAR!

Fairies are already starting to appear for the new year. Check out Ryuusei. Ryuusei (pronounced du-say) is the little shooting star fairy. She dresses the stars in their shiny, sparkling best to flit through the sky to grant people's wishes. In her hands she holds a little shooting star all dressed up and awaiting it's debut in the sky. In her hair she wears a flower with little beads.

Gaia/Mother Earth cards from today

Mother Earth cards I was working on today. I was sorting my cards for a swap and it sparked more ideas. So I sat down with my sharpies for the first time in almost three months. It was nice for a change. It's been so long and I was missing them something fierce. The Kuan Yin Gaia isn't done yet, still a work in progress. I think I'm going to try to translate some of these into paint at some point. I mailed off one of my older mother earth pieces, so I hope to get a scan of that from the person I sent it to. It was my favorite.

birds in process

My little crochet birds. Only about two inches long and two and a half high. So cute and small. I don't like the beak though. I think I'm going to do a felt beak on the other bird. I think I like the crocheted feet though.

Tried Something New!

Well ok, technically it wasn't NEW, it was just a new take on things I've been doing. I took the crochet flower I do and put a little spin to it. I found a giant spool of curling ribbon floating around here and wondered what the heck I was thinking when I bought a roll with so much yardage. Then it hit me, why not try making a flower from the ribbon! Eureka, it turned out really cool! Check it out. I listed it on etsy, but I doubt anyone will take it, but it was a fun try.

Crocheting the night away

I've made more flower pins for ETSY. I also had some spare crocheted flowers floating around so I thought I'd offer them up as a pay it forward on ETSY. It'll be my second one offered. I'm going to do more, but i want to figure out what else would be nice to do. So here are some images of my new flower pins and the extra flowers. These floral pins aren't felted and are made from acrylic yarn. Just bits of things I had laying about. I love to do these because they don't take me hours upon end and I can move on to something new faster than other projects. My little mind doesn't like to dwell on things for very long. They're things I can do while watching TV.

AHHH i feel much better now!

I've been wanting to paint for AGES! Today, feeling particularly low after having to give up Ceasar (see http://flickr.com/photos/chelmorning) I decided I wasn't going to do much of anything. I had thought about taking a nap, but ended up spending time catchin up with some long lost pals! While I was chatting with them I decided to get out my paints and paint a picture. I didn't have any idea what, or if I was even going to finish, but I DID! YAY! Check it out!

Flower Fairies Flitting By

Here is a Flower Fairy I posted to my etsy shop. I've been making these for awhile. My sisters and I made flower fairies for favors for my Brother's wedding last July. They were a SMASHING hit. They're so cut and adorable, I decided to make them into pins to make them wearable! This is a current one I have for sale. There are more to come, I just haven't had time to photograph them and get them listed.


These are some of the ones we made for my brother's wedding favors. My sister then decided to make little babies when my other sister had a baby shower. She made the cutest little babies for the fairies to hold in their arms. They were so cute they had little hats on their little heads. I'll have to search around and see if I have any pictures of them around. These are a few images of the little fairys we made in July.
