kitschy cupcakes, pillows, and felt family portraits.

I got to decorate some yummy cupcakes for a bridal shower last week, and I used the Kitschy Digitals Feather Accent kit to make the toppers. You can buy the kit here.


One of the recent projects for the Pretty Online Class was creating a family portrait out of felt! I figured it sounded like fun, so this is what I came up with.




Yesterday, Jenna and I got together to break in her new sewing machine! It was a blast.  It felt so good just to hang out and make stuff!  We started off by making cushion covers.  Jenna had this super cool pattern from Amy Butler of a pillow with a felt "snow mum" flower on it, so we changed up the pattern a bit and made them our own! Colourful too! I'll post photos once I stuff it.  
Then we watched the movie "Once".  I enjoyed it, and thought it was very well done.  I love the voices, and of course the Irish accents... but it was sort of sad.  It was still good though, I'd like to watch it again before I send it back to Zip.ca.


Off to work for the rest of the day.

  12. Imagine my delight when I read this post and discovered you were the creator of those delicious cupcakes at the shower last week! I was raving about them at work the next day and said I would find out who made them. Well now I know! They were perfect - light and fluffy, not too sweet, and I loved the sprinkle of sugar on top. Maybe you could make them again sometime.....
