Tiny Little World




I bought some tiny vintage deer. I thought they were bigger but now I'm glad they're so small. I made a tiny winter scene on a drawer pull. I have a feeling more will follow.

Vintage Cupcake Toppers










I bought the cutest vintage cupcake toppers from etsy. They even have a Japan stamp on their backs. So here's a little shot of something I made with them. Isn't that pumpkin guy the cutest? If I make anything else I'll add them.

Get Your Feathers Ruffled

Ruffles seem to be one of the hottest trends this summer. Here are a few of my favorites. Some use ruffles in unexpected ways.

This pretty ruffle ring is made from silk ribbon in a pale aqua. Very unique, wouldn't you love to wear this to a special gathering?

For me there is nothing cuter in the world than to see a sweet ruffled baby bum crawling on the floor.




This gorgeous ruffled tote bag is perfect to carry all of your summer essentials. Pretty enough for a party, durable for the beach.







And now here is a way to even have your cupcakes ruffled. Four layers of soft ruffles.

Pinwheel Treat Cups

This first one is a pinwheel shape made from crepe paper. The bow will be straight- the wind was blowing during picture taking.
The next one is a regular paper pin wheels I looked for yellow but the only light yellow had rubber duckies on it.

Everything's Coming up Roses

Today I was cleaning up a little bit and found some old shabby muslin fabric. So of course I had to stop cleaning and make some ribbon roses. That was hard to do since I love to clean so much and have to force myself to craft around. ha

I just love how imperfect and tattered these look. Then I started thinking of a the gazillion ways you could use them.


Decorate a tattered hang tag.

Use them to decorate journals, notebooks or scrapbook pages.


They look especially good with raw paper mache.



How about a vintage paper wreath?


So many different things to do with them, what else can you think of?

Easter Swap

Miss Rhea from
sweetnshabbyroses had a fun swap where you decorated recycled yogurt cups to make sweet Easter baskets. I had two swap partners which made it double the fun watching for the mail.


First up, because I received her package first , are the goods from
Taylor

Closeup of the basket. I can never get enough of crepe paper. My hub said it looks like something I would make. He's right.



Here is a shot of the basket when it was full of goodies.



My favorite was the pretty pink rose clip.

And here are all the goodies. A small candle that matches the paper on the basket, a chocolate bunny (of course he's already gone, why do you ask?), a wand with a changeable scene, and some tiny lip gloss.


And now here are the goods I received from RebeccaHere are the things from inside the basket. Faux cupcake, pink mica flakes, accordion fold Easter booklet, ice cream bubbles and a glittered bunny wearing a rhinestone choker.

This faux cupcake was my favorite. I now use it to showcase my cupcake toppers in my shop. I think I may have hinted around for one. :)
Look at this lovely basket. Polka dots and crepe paper- things I swoon for.

Check out the handle, don't you love that silver peeking out?



I just want to say thank you to Rebecca and Taylor. You girls rock at swaps.

What I sent Taylor and Rebecca

Rebecca's basket is on the left, Taylor's is on the right.


See those cute as pie bunny girls? They were made by http://www.etsy.com/shop/gigiandmehandmade the cutest etsy shop.



For Rebecca

That's right Valentine's day is upon us. Hope you've gotten your sweeties all fixed up. I had to show these most adorable straws I bought from Target. They have those puffy honeycomb things which I can never resist. And they'll probably be half off on Monday :)
