Crafty Catch-up!

[speakinspanish.livejournal.com]

Here is some CRAFTY STUFF...that I've been working on but have neglected to take pictures of.. I"ll start from oldest to newest.. :


First is this super cute jewelery/trinket box .. I hand-painted it to be a yummy pink cake with white icing and red roses.


and signed my name on the back also!

Then there are my VERY time-consuming tags, I got the inspiration for these on ebay, and decided to make my own version of them... I hand punched the basic shape out.. and then I had to cut out the design for the cupcake [ it's two different pieces] and then I decorated each of them the big ones each have a cupcake the medium ones each have a hand-drawn fruit, and the mini ones each have either a colored or black stamp of the cupcake stamp I got from ebay for our bizzz-ness! It took me over 3 hours to complete all of them..soo time-consuming but sooo worth it






And the last thing in the crafty-section of today's post.. is something that became something else..

This was orignally a design for a pair of mittens I was making, but the mitten shape came out AWFULLY wrong...but I was in love with the design I made so I just cut this piece out and used the button setting on my sewing machine and made it into a make-shift patch...I even got professional on it and made a tag for it and everything.

I was pretty proud of it..and amazed because my sewing machine sewed into the red heart button on the bottom, I didn't know it was such a heavy duty needle!
But I'll be adding it to someone's x-mas present this year..hopefully they'll like it as much as I do.
