New Chocolates!
Someone on Etsy bought one of my custom chocolates! She told me that she likes chocolate buttercreams and chocolates with raspberry filling. She said she likes sprinkles, but that drizzle would be fine too...
This is what I came up with:
I wonder which one she will like the best!

Hat and Cowl for the Fall!
I made these for myself a couple of months ago when I started missing the snow. I can't wait for it to get cold so I can wear them! I absolutely love the yarn that I used on these...they are super soft and warm!
I am going to put these up on my Etsy!
Hats!
New hat photos! I decided that maybe these things may sell better if there were pictures on a real human rather than just my creepy mannequin head. We'll see how this goes!
I made a dress!
I got a new sewing machine off of Freecycle, and it runs extremely well! After getting it, I started working on this:
I think it came out pretty well! I made a headband to match, but I forgot to take a picture with it on...oh well!

Custom super duper bright and ultra cupcake-tastic hat!
Here is a custom cupcake hat that I made for an Etsy shopper! The colors are much brighter in person, it's hard to convince the camera to take in all the neon fantastic-ness!
I might just have to make one of these for myself!

Too Many Hobbies!
I got a new sewing machine! I guess it's an old sewing machine, but it's new to me! It's much newer than the black one that a showed a few blogs ago, and it works so much better! It's great, and I love it!
The first thing that I did was look up a summer dress pattern. It was pretty ambitious to think that my first ever sewing project could be a dress, so I decided to sew a headband first. After successfully making the headband, I went ahead with the dress. It came out really well! There are a few mistakes, but I think that I'm the only one that would notice them. I can't wait to take some pictures in it and show you guys! The headband is the same fabric as the dress, so they look cute together.
Jimmy thinks I have too many hobbies. I think he's right. I have too much on my mind.
The PB&J necklaces are doing pretty well in my Etsy store. I sold two pairs the first week that they were in my shop, and I have another person interested in them right now. I make them as people order them, but I think it would be smarter for me to have at least one pair ready to go instead of receiving an order and then rushing to get it in the mail the next day.
I also have another cute polymer clay project to work on...you'll see it soon!
I need to take pictures of my tutu. It came out really well! I will put it up on Etsy eventually and see how it does. Maybe someone will want me to make one for them, maybe not. It only costs 20 cents to put up a listing, so I might as well go for it!
I sold my first cupcake hat on Etsy yesterday! I can't wait to put up pictures of the finished project! I am halfway done crocheting it, and it's turning out really well! This morning, someone had e-mailed me to make a cupcake hat for her little girl. The cupcake hat did not get much attention for 2 whole months, then all the sudden, 2 people are interested! Yay!
Jimmy and I went to a cupcake tasting recently, and I feel like an idiot because I should have worn my cupcake hat and one of my cupcake necklaces. There were over 200 cupcake lovers in the building, and some of them might have been interested! Luckily, there is a cupcake tasting once per month, so I'll be better prepared next time! I'll be sure to bring some business cards too! I still need to blog about the cupcake tasting...we took video of the event, and I need to edit it, and put it up on YouTube.
Lastly, I feel the urge to sew another dress. Looking for a good pattern, but whenever I open up my computer to look for a pattern I feel bad that I am neglecting other projects. I definitely have way too many hobbies right now, but I love them all! Let's just hope I can get a lot of this stuff done soon!

Ugh...
Last week I spilled superglue all over one of my fingers. I thought that If I ran to the sink to rinse it off, it would just come off without a problem. WRONG! It got all weird and thick, and would not come off!!! My whole index finger was covered in flaky crud, and it was even under my fingernail. It is FINALLY all gone, and now I can work with clay again! I was in the middle of a really cute clay project when I had the spill, and now I can finally finish it! I didn't want little tiny flakes of glue to end up all over the clay.
And just in case any of you make the same mistake, I got most of it off with a nail file, and the stubborn stuff just had to shed off slowly.
