Dice Birthday cake

Made this for a friend who recently went to Vegas and now seems to be obsessed with anything to do with. LOL. The dice are rolled to 3 and 1 because he is turning 31. This was my first time working with a square cake. It was a little difficult at first but not too hard that I wouldn't want to do it again.

Valentine's Crayons

I found this project months ago and couldn't wait to actually get started on it. But first was the task of collecting enough crayons to do the project. This is a great way to upcycle all of those bits and pieces and scrap crayons you've got laying around. This is perfect for a Valentine's gift for the young ones but could easily be used as party favors, a weekend project for the kids, and many more fun ideas. Try different shapes and sizes for even more possibilities. Visit Chica and Jo's blog for detailed instructions on this project. Have fun! I did. :)

Super Bowl Football Cake

How could I pass up an opportunity to make a themed cake such as one for the Super Bowl?? I couldn't resist. :)

Congratulations AND Happy Birthday Cakes (Sweetheart Candy Cakes)

For the month of February, there are two members on my team at work with birthdays. In addition, another member of the team is getting married in a few short days so I made "Sweetheart Candy" cakes for each occaision. Happy Birthday Diane and Mike! And a big congratulations to Justin!!

Happy Birthday, Mommy

I miss my mommy so much...so I had to send her happy birthday wishes via mail...sigh...hope your birthday was a great one, Mom. Love ya! Made this card for her using my Cricut.

It's A Boy!

I just recently went to a friend's baby shower to celebrate the upcoming birth of their little boy, Joshua. I made this to go along with their present:

Congratulations Signing Board

Another opportunity for me to use my Cricut came up when I was asked to make a sign for everyone to sign to congratulate my manager on her wedding.

Another Lacy scarf - Mirror Lake Scarf

I love this pattern so much of the scarf I made last year for my sister's birthday, I had to do another one...I'm thinking more will be in my future...even if it is starting to get warm...can't hurt to be ready for next winter! :) Here is the pattern if you want to try it yourself. Enjoy!

Lose Weight by Crocheting!!

Okay so this posting doesn't have anything to do with something I've made, but while web surfing for new ideas on crochet, I found this article via another blog, the Crochet Spot, that lists "50 Ways to Cut 500 Calories a Day" listing #21 as "Get out your knitting needles"...awesome!! Yeah, it says knitting, but since I have yet to bring myself to knit, crochet should get the job done, too! I'm sure Rachel over at the Crochet Spot agrees with me too. lol Anyways, with all of these new year's resolutions going around by weight loss...I thought this article could offer some suggestions. Now I won't feel like such a bum for spending an entire weekend crocheting. :) Here's the article: http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100250356&page=1.
