Something Blue

As some of you may know my wedding is coming up a week from today. My 2 aunts have been very busy little bees. My aunt Marsha is making all of my favors and i'm sure she will post them on her blog at cutestuffinside.blogspot.com. My aunt Roxanne has been busy making this beautiful garter for me. She knitted this up in just a few short weeks and I love it. Thanks for all your help.

A place to rest your head

I managed to save a large flower from the fabric I used on my frind Meredith's apron. I think it makes a fun pillow.

St.Patty's Frenchy bag

My newest project. The same Frenchy bag I have been making with brown, green, and turquoise fabric. I kept this one for myself. Reminds me of the Irish.

Happy Birthday to ya!

Boston Cream pie cupcakes made specially for my friend Kelly(fsdropout.blogspot.com). Drop by and say happy birthday!

These cupcakes are made with white cake with vanilla pudding mixed with cool whip inside and a chocolate sauce on top. Yummy!

I got the recipe from kraft foods. This is the second time I have made them and so far a big hit. Only problem, they have to be refridgerated.

Happy birthday Kelly.

Girls best friend

Check out what i've been busy with. These are my newest style ring and favirorite so far. I also made a matching pair of earrings. The ring above is made with Amethyst and Light Amethyst Swarovsky crystals. Perfect for a February birthday!


This ring to the left is another of the first style ring. It is made with green and clear crystals. This one is going to be great for St. Patricks day!
This ring with the red and black reminds me of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. It has a Garnet ball in the center with Garnet rondelles, black, and clear crystals.

All of the above items are for sale at etsy.com. My seller name is birtyboutique0i0.

New Bling!

Check out my newest obsession. These are rings made out of crystal and glass beads. At the top is a picture of the first thing I've ever made beading. I got the idea from a book I picked up at Joann Fabrics called Big Book of Crystal Beads by Creative Homeowner. The book is great it has instuctions on every project and difficulty levels. This ring was called the translucent ring but I picked colors of gold, green and tan. It was SO easy! this project only took about an hour and a half to make and I have been getting many compliments already.

My first order for a lookalike of the ring I made. I just whipped this up tonight in only an hour. It is not exactly the same as mine, if you notice the side stones are a little bit larger. The colors I chose for this one were black (per request) and pink. I just can't believe how easy and fun beading is.

Sit back and RELAX!

I finished my first pillow case

and it was so easy. It is made with the fabric that came in a set from PQW. I can think of so many things I would like to make with this fabric, I love it! This pillow case only took a few short hours to make, you get great results and it's so much fun. My mom told me these were going to be addicting to make and she was right! I am already thinking of other fun fabrics I can make them out of.

Thanks mom! My mom just bought me this great fabric. I love French style patters. My obsession for them started at Sweet and Sassy. I am very excited to start making great things with this fabric.

All family members reading this. Mom said no fights!
