Yummy Waffle Cones and Cupcake

Chocolate mint swirl with chocolate chips - great on a hot summer day!
This cone is 2.6cm  high by 1.5cm wide.  Since this is a little larger than my other charms, it would look great as a pendant.
The cupcake has chocolate mint swirl icing with chocolate chips. This one is 1.8cm high by 1.5cm wide.
The ity-bity-teeny chocolate ice cream come is perfect as a charm since it is only 1.7cm high by .9cm wide.

Summer Themed Charm Bracelet

I will be putting this bracelet up on my Zibbet store soon - so this is a sneak peek for all my "peeps".
The bracelet and clasp are silver plated, as are the head pins and jump rings used to attach the charms.
The beads are glass and remind me of the colours of cotton candy (blue/pink/green) or maybe a summertime sorbet flavour...yum:)
Each charm is handmade by me using polymer clay.
The starfish is 1.5cm.
The lobster is 1.7cm by 1.1cm.
The icecream cone is 1.4cm by .8cm.
The dolphin is 1.8cm by 1cm.
The flip flop is 1.5cm by .5cm.
The kayak is 1.6cm by 1 cm.
The crab is 1.1cm by 1cm.
The creamcicle is 1.4cm by 1cm.
The bracelet itself is 7 inches - if you need this to be any longer, let me know and I can lengthen it.

Fun decor for 5th Birthday Party

My daughter recently turned 5 and to celebrate it we had a birthday party in our backyard.
I had decided on a colour theme of yellow, orange, blue and green for summer and I used summer type die cuts using my Cricut.
I made cupcake picks, cupcake boxes (I custom made the insert inside, as the Cricut does not have a cut for that), thank you cards for the goodie bags, and a banner.

I also made the candy suckers in the sand pail as well as the orange candies on the cupcake holder. - Oh right.  I made the cupcake holder from foam board and cardstock.  The pillars were plastic cups.

Summer Treats for Pre-K Last Class

These are some candies I made for Kaitlyn's last Pre-Kindergarden class.  I used Wilton

candy melts and various moulds.  I picked up a new beach bucket at the Dollar Store to display these in.  The bucket is not full as I stuffed the bottom with some rolled up grocery bags.  There were already more than enough to go around and I figured there would be some left over for Kaitlyn's birthday - NOPE!  Apparently the kids attacked and ate them all!

Mother's Day Album

I am a little late posting a Mother's Day gift, but I wanted to be sure that mom got her gift before I put this up on my blog :)  That would have ruined the fun!

I made this little chipboard album for my mom who adores her little doggie Susie.  I guess since I live so far away from her, she had to have someone else in her life to cuddle and play with ;)  Hahaha...here are the pics:

 

My Fairy Garden

Another project I have been working on for myself is my "Fairy Garden".  They are very popular, and I decided to make one in a pot I can keep inside.  The pot is plastic and looks like an old cauldron. The "Fairy" house was made using a clay flowerpot.  I glued rocks to it, then grouted it.  Once the grout was dried, I added moss, and other plant bits.  I added smaller gravel stones around the house to give it room between the house and the garden soil.

I made the fairy out of polymer clay.  It took a long time to get her done.  The rose in her hand was easy as I have made lots of polymer clay roses in the past.  I had a dollhouse size glass of lemonaid that I placed in her hand shortly after baking her.  I glued her to a log that Kaitlyn found for me, and added the plants.  These are perennial succulents, and house plants.  I am going to add a few more river rocks, however, the Fairy Garden is pretty well completed.  Hopefully the cat won't think it is his litter-box!

A non-paper craft!

Isn't this bracelet beautiful?  I made a bunch of cupcakes and sliced strawberry cake charms with polymer clay.  I used to make a lot of miniature stuff with polymer clay and one day whislt surfing away, I saw these cute charms made of food....you know the rest of the story!

I can't wait to show you the lemon meringue pie slices I made.  They even have a lemon stuck in some whipped cream!

This bracelet is for sale, so if you know of someone having a birthday soon - let me know!
