Super Sweets

This past weekend, I made some birthday cupcakes for Jeremy and friends. They were a big hit and turned out super-cute. I just used some fun-fetti cake mix, white frosting, blue food coloring, a large Wilton rose tip, and round sprinkles. And, for those of you who'd like to make an impression on the super-hero fan in your life, I've included a link below where you can find these items and more!

Refurb is the Word

Hello my crafty kin,

As I was driving home from the grocery store, I was struck with such as vision of rustic beauty that I had to stop and take a gander. Now I'm no picker, but when I saw this little rocking chair it cried out to me. So, I brought'er home, washed'er up, and gave'er a safe place to stay til' I could make a pretty woman out of her. I was particularly inspired by the metalwork under the arm of the chair, so after I get back from my vaca in the dacks I'll be priming and painting this little mama.

Here's what I've done so far:


First, I stripped off all the batting and fabric,
til only the supports were showing.

Then, I pulled out all the old nails and washed
it with Murphy's Oil Soap.

She's a little broken, but I think I can renew her yet!

What Sucks?

I am currently searching for a vaccume to suck up all the badies in my craft room, I'll need to be able to vaccume up everything from spiders to string and wet paper to woodchips. AND i'd like it to be pretty... is that so wrong?

These are the ones I'm looking at:

I 'd like to leave you with John Coultron's Shop Vac, seeing as I'm in the market for a vac to cleanup all my messy crafts, and I thought this song was epicly funny. Enjoy - Ashley
