Sock Ice Cream Cone

I got an order for a sock cupcake at work, but my co-worker wanted particular socks for her DD. After playing around with the socks for two days - trying to figure out how to fold them and get them to fit a pretty cupcake cut - I finally gave up. Then and idea popped into my head...why not an ice cream cone?! The sock would hang down into the cone and it would still look like a "sweet". Here's how it turned out...

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Birthday

It's sure to be couture!

I had an order for ten invitations for a girl's 13th birthday party. Her mother, a collegue, says her daughter would love to have a Juicy purse - so this is what I came up with for her invites. I think they came out adorable!!

Mickey Mouse Invitations

I can't believe my little man is already turning ONE!!! The them of his party is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and there are the invitations I made for it. I think they turned out really cute, and everyone loved them. I ultimately wanted to sew the pockets instead of just stiching, and wanted buttons for the yellow circles, but I was running a bit short on time...for shopping trips to M's and HL especially :). Everyone loved them though! Pictures of the party to follow!

Baby Shower

I had a friend's baby shower to attend this past weekend, and threw together this shape card for her. I hid the rubber ducky on the onesie using my Gypsy, and added the airplane. She loved it!

Thanksgiving Table Decor

A co-worker asked me to make something decorative for her Thanksgiving table, so I made her a sleeve for her silverware and a sign for the table. I couldn't find the correct size scallop punch, so I just designed the whole sleeve on my Gypsy, and cut it out individually.

Craft Show Project #4: Magnetic Boards

I made a simple, 5 X 7 girly one, but sold it as "made-to-order" with a theme of choice. I got a few special orders out of this one (I don't remember what carts the heart and stars are from).

Craft Show Project #3 : Sour Cream Containers

These are the example sour cream containers I made. Amazingly enough, I got an order for 100 of them (with a different theme) at my first show. I can't believe it!
