What I'm working on right now!


Happy Thursday everyone!! 

I hope your week is going by quick, I know mine is dragging. I am currently working on my sisters birthday cake for her birthday party this coming Saturday. I am also making cookies and cupcakes to go with the theme of "Monster High". I'll be sure to post more pictures next week too!

These are the cookie toppers that I made last night. It was my first time flooding with royal icing, and I think they came out pretty darn good! These will go on cookies that will be at every place setting on Saturday!


Not only am I tackling all this baking, but I have been working on my crafts as well!

I am in the process of making this AWESOME novel wreath!


The finished product should look like this...


I am using very old yellowed books for my look. You can find the tutorial here, or the YouTube video tutorial which I used here.

I also made this sweet Valentines Day wreath for my office at work! It is made entirely out of cupcake liners aside from the obvious wreath. Pretty cool, huh? Look at my awesome hot glue gun too!


Here she is all finished!


And hanging in my office looking all pretty!


I may keep it up because I feel like it just goes with everything...maybe. And it IS pink- my favorite color!! I may also make other ones to switch out for each holiday. Still thinking about that one too!

I used this tutorial, and it only took me a few hours! Although, I did get a pretty nasty burn so be careful with the hot glue guns!


See? Sooo gross!
(I won't enlarge the picture because, frankly, I don't think you even need to see that!)


I also have started making one for my sister too!!


Don't mind my crazy socks! :)

On top of these wreaths, I want to make a crepe paper rosette wreath, or just something with the rosettes. I still have to finish my pintuck duvet cover I started over the summer as well. So many crafts, so little time! Maybe I should tackle one project before starting another one. Just maybe! Although, it does sound like the logical thing to do. We will see!

Until next time!

XOXO
