Fat Free Cupcakes

On Facebook I've been talking about Calorie Free Stitched Cupcakes.  This is the first one I've tried out.  I'm not sure about making them into cards or tags....

I thought of this last night and for some strange reason I was in a stitching mood today.

Strawberry and cream

I colored the cupcakes with my Copic Markers first.  Should I put some stitching on the cases or just on the frosting?

I might work on some more of these and take them to the next market we go to in Wellington.  If get a set together then I will list them on my Etsy Shop. (So leave a comment if you like them!)

Chocolate and cream

If you have seen the post below - these are what you might win.  Whatever flavor you like.

Giveaway

I love this layout. It just needs some journalling (there is a hidden tag - see the little purple pulls) and a title.  But I can't think of a title! HELP!

I thought maybe I could turn this into a giveaway. (Ending 7th May. Anyone in any country can enter. I will pick my fave or set a poll up).

If you can think of a good title for this page,

just leave a comment

& you might win a prize.

The photograph of me was taken on Easter Friday.  We had just arrived in Napier, grabbed a lovely cool Shaken Zen Tea w/ lemonade from StarBucks and went for a walk.  My Mom said stop! (Literally,a Do Not Move tone of voice) She liked my shadow and took a couple shots.

Our First Stall

We went to our first craft show on Saturday.  Our first craft show that we had a stall at.  Lots of cards out on display and not enough space for all of them.  (Our next stalls will be on a larger table).  The brand new table cover is a gorgeous white and beige check. Lil Dude is standing on a wicker basket (maybe he should be renamed "Wicker Dude") and holding a card.  Two wire stands hold even more cards, which I would like to paint pink.  Lots of cards got looked at, picked up, opened etc.  But only one sold.  Which is better than none.  (The teal and brown MUM card.  Middle back in a stand.)

I got lots of ideas for things to make for the next market we go to. 

Any suggestions or ideas on how to do a craft stall better? 
Better layout of cards?
Anything really....

I'd love the next one we go be more fun and profitable than this one.  But it was a good learning experience.

I need to do something to cheer myself up.  I was going to get these in a couple months but I might have to get them sooner.

They are Sennheiser Noise Reduction Headphones.  I can't wait to try them with songs from Evita and Phantom.  Although if anyone has any other recommendations?

Are You Ready?

Are you really ready?

These are my absolutely gorgeous new shoes! I love the bright bright blue!  And as usual when I get new things I want to keep them looking nice and new for as long as possible.  I only got them last Thursday and I've worn them once.  If I can - I will only wear them on nice dry days.  Try to keep the blue blue.

Tomorrow I really hope my toothless tooth is better.  I am sick of having to be careful when I eat and I can't drink water from a bottle - which makes Gym stuff a little difficult.

I hope to have another blog post tomorrow and maybe something more regular next week.  Really hope this tooth stuff is over by then.
