Just a spoonful of sugar

Quick post to show some new cottage added to the SHOP

Gingerbread style cottage. I really like the tree with added presents underneath;)

The Shopping crunch is on....even in my own house. I am so far behind this year!!! I'm still enjoying the season without stressing too much.

Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds

While I was making Elizabeth's baker's dozen of Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds..I decided to whip up 3 more for the shop.

They do somehow take on their own little personality


And for those who may have been waiting for more glitter cottages, two have been listed and hope to have more made before Christmas.


Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner.

Aqua and Pink, Pink and Aqua

A very popular combination of colors. I have had quite a few requests for these colors for my cupcake cottages. These photos should satisfy your need for aqua and pink!

Some are still available

11 cupcake cottages

Finally finished...ta daaaaa! 11 fabulous cupcake cottages...mwahhhahhhaa. Does that remind you of the Count on Sesame Street;)? These are for a custom order. Hope to list them tonight.

School, Fall, and Halloween. The Halloween fringe needs a little persuasion to relax a little!

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter. Winter is one of my favorites.

Valentine, St Patricks, and Easter. The Easter cottage is one of my favs too.

And last but not least...Summer and Texas themed. These 2 gave me the most challenge!!!

See I had to take a shot of my 2 favorites together!

Showing the bandana walkway. Not sure if it is clear enough to see it here.

And last but defintely not LEAST------

Happy Easter

Spring is HERE!

It's finally warming up a bit in the midwest. I see the greens coming up through the earth in my flower bed. The sun is shining much longer. This means I cantake brighter pictures!!!!

This is a special order for Leigh. She wanted all pink and aqua.
This bunch of bunnies is inspired by Jennifer Murphy http://www.jmurphybears.com/ I love how the little one turned out with her party and and frou frou mini skirt!
Mary http://snowflakes-on-eyelashes.blogspot.com/ ordered these special colors for these cottages and even sent me the bunnies to use for them. Great choice in colors!

I was so inpsired by Mary's choices in colors that I went ahead and created another pair to sell. They are named after her. Mary's Cottage Ornaments!!!

She always inspired me to create.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend,
