Table setting


I know Christmas is over but I still want to show you my table setting I made for Christmas dinner. We had a wonderful time together and I enjoy having a conversation entirely in my native language(Italian). My Italian friend brought over amazing dishes and I just had to decorate the table and make lasagna. My Christmas was amazing, what about yours?

Wreath


Today I want to show you I wreath I recently made, I found this beautiful feather wreath at jo-ann( the fabric store) for 50% off so I HAD to buy it. Than I added a glitter bird and some flower I made with left over fabric. To my surprise even my husband liked it!
Next time I will show you my Christmas table setting, I will set it up tonight.....

It is Christmas time..



I haven't post for so long time, it is time to catch up. My hand is doing better-I burned myself with the hot glue and it was painful for awhile-. And I was so busy with all the Christmas presents and preparation that I neglected everything else. Anyway I want to show you one of the project I worked on. I made 12 chocolate bunt cake to sent to our friend station in Iraq. Mini cakes are so cool and fun to make and wrap. I found the boxes at Michaels and I decorate them with a digital from house of three

Tea Pot Box


I did not post for a long time so I better put something on the blog. I feel I neglected this blog for so long but recently with the organizing of the new business and the injury on my hands I had no time for any of my craft. Until my hands heal completely I want to show you this container I made some times ago for my daughter teachers. I used My Timeless Template and I traced some part my self. The boxes are full of tea.

Ikea boxes




I got these container at Ikea while I was in San Diego. I wanted this product for so long than I had to pack two of these heavy container in my luggage and bring it with me all the way to Virginia. Lucky I always leave for vacation with empty luggage because I know I always come back home with a lot of stuff!! It is just me?!
Anyway, yesterday I was able to assembly and decorate it and now I love it so much I have to find an Ikea store in Virginia and get some more of these cd boxes. My desk look so much better now, all the small things was laying on top of it now they have their own place.

New creation: Tulle Tree



I have to start this post admitting one of my obsession: "Tulle". I love this material it is so beautiful and fluffy and girlie. Every time I go to the fabric store I come home with yard of tulle so I can make tutus for my girls, decorate the house.......
I also use it all of the time to wrap gift baskets is cheaper and nicer than cellophane, you have to try it. This time I come up with a pink tulle tree with some glittered flowers. I used some store bought flowers that I dipped in glitter and I made the rest myself with vintage paper and beads( and I dipped these too on glitter).
This tree is for sale in my Etsy shop
