More of my faux cakes

Well,  here is step two of my faux cakes.................adding the borders. This was so much fun. I might even make

a real cake for hubs birthday tomorrow. Does it look real? It's so cute and so fun!  After this dries I get to decorate it!  Can't wait to add glitter or Mica and little trinkets.  You really should give it a try

if you like decorating cakes and creating. What a fun little box!  A great little ezine!  I recommend it!

This is cool!  A bald eagle just flew over my yard circled around and came down and plucked a fish out of the lake behind our house!  Pretty exciting to see!  They are majestic birds!!  They've been hanging around alot lately.  Tried to get a picture to post but trying to shoot a digital camera toward the sky and follow a flying bird isn't easy.  So no shots today.

Thanks for taking a look.

Hi-Jinx

Here are some of the hi-jinx I have been up to.  I gold-leafed this large foam egg.  I think it is beautimous!  A Real Diamond Jubilee Egg indeed!  Then I bought the ezine Pretty Spring Things  and I have been creating little goodies from that including the faux cake.  I will show you mine in the works.   I think I may have gotten a little to heavy on the frosting, but we'll see.  It might take a year to dry. (I hope not).  Then I am getting my tablescape ready for Easter.  This has been a so much fun.  Love doing it!  That's pretty much what I've been up to.  Thanks for stopping by.

Lil Chick Tassel

Hello Everyone,

I haven't been around for a while and just wanted to show you what I've been up to lately.  Oh my goodness I've discovered in my blog surfing a whole new group of bloggers out there that do tablescapes!  The are beautiful and very inspiring!  As I was surfing around to the different blogs reading about them I kept seeing these decorative tassels....they seemed to be everywhere....and I hadn't heard about them!  How could that be?!?  So I went to several different blogs and tutorials and decided to try one myself.  They aren't cheap to buy or to make mind you but I'm trying to stay busy so I was determined to make one.  So here is my first attempt at a little chickie tassel.  I'm rather chuffed with myself I must say!  I think she turned out pretty cute!  Now off to find more little goodies to make tassels out of!  Where I will put them all I haven't a clue......maybe they'll become gifts who knows, but this and my crocheting of the hats for newborns is what I'm up to at the moment.  This could change at any moment too.  My crafting Muse is a very fickle one!  She's got my creative juices flowing at the moment now though..........so hopefully I'll be busy and posting a few more projects.  Maybe even a tablescape if I like it enough.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  one more little tidbit of shopping delight.  Our newest shopping center.  The Pavilion of Port Orange has just opened this past week there is a Home Goods and a brand spanking new Micheals and I got to go in the second the doors opened and it was all bright and shiny and new!  These are two of my favorite stores!  I'm like Gallagher talks about in his act.  I get a glazed look in my eye hear nothing being said to me and my mantra is " I'm shopping"  I guess you had to see the skit.  But I'm there.  Home Goods has seen me almost every day .... So many wonderful goodies there and new stuff every day!  I haven't even ventured on to the other stores yet, but I have eaten at 5 guys burgers!  Yummy!  A great hamburger and great fries.  I wouldn't want to have my cholesteral taken after eating there but I enjoyed every morsel.... Ummm-ummm!  I recommend it!  That's all for now!

Have a great weekend.

Picture of the baby bunny hat

Here is the little bunny hat I told you about that I am making for the newborns at the hospital for Easter.  Aren't they so cute.  The gal that created this pattern was very clever!

Thanks for taking a look.

Would you look at that............

After working on this blog all afternoon to get the new template up, I go and do a post about how cute it is and my blog goes all wonky.........Sorry about that.  I hope it's back to normal soon.
