Goddess design on box

I made this for my latest swap partner! She likes black and red and collects rocks, gems, and spheres of all types and sizes. The box hold together with magnets on the inside- the strongest i could find!

I am so happy about how this came out! My sister even asked for one of her own!!

Elmo Birthday Cake

I used a wilton shaped cake pan to make this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. The hardest part (and only part i even had to work for) was icing the cake. I made the cake and the icing from scratch and dyed the icing to the colors i needed.

Birthday Dress Completion

So i ended up redoing the birthday dress- i messed up the fasteners and just about gave up until i realized there was nothing cute enough in the stores- so i hunkered down and made her dress... again... lol

Daughter's 2nd Birthday Dress

So its not quite completed- i still need to sew on the zipper and hem the bottom (taffeta shreds horribly!!) My mom is going to crochet a cardigan for her

So like i said its Taffeta- periwinkle blue. The bodice is lined with white costume satin and the skirt is lined with white netting (i also need to line the netting - i wasn't going to until i realized how high up it was and that tights wouldn't completely protect her skin)

She's so tiny i had to do size 1 and still need to take it in about 2 inches! These photos have the bodice already pinned lol

When its all done i will post more pictures :)

Blue Chalcedony & Shell Pendant necklace

I made this piece for a swap on craftster.com I hope she likes it, because i am in love with it. The swap is about the elements and water is not her favorite element (shes an earth sign and says earth and water makes mud lol), but this combines earth and water- the metal floral on the shell represents the earth in all that water! haha

In its entirety


I'll post more pics when she gets it- hopefully her camera takes better pictures than mind ;)

New Jewelry

So my mom learned i was learning to make jewelry and she wanted some earrings... well, i only had 3 of these gold/black beads so i just made a necklace too... Hope she doesn't mind looking like a fancy bumblebee HAHA I got a kit with most of these beads in it- glass square beads and seed beads- i prefer the larger seed beads for the stuff i make.



I also made this bracelet for my daughter. She's 2- we were in michaels and she picked up a pack of amethyst heart beads and a pack of lavender glass beads that she would not give up, so i just said "ok, i'll make you a bracelet. Took a couple of tries- first time she broke it!! Anyway, Here it is all pretty and done!

First Swap

OK, i am crafting for my first swap on crafster (YAY!) It is a Four Elements Swap where each person creates gifts representing the 4 elements for another person and receives gift in return from that person. I am so excited and already have 3 points done! Woo-hoo! We need a minimum of 8 (small=1pt, medium= 2pts, large=3pts- the size depending on how much is spend on materials as well as how long it took to craft the project. I am dying to post what i have done already, but i can't!! I have so many ideas i can't wait to get going!!

Blessings,
Tina
