Christmas candy

Christmas is the time to indulge in homemade toffee - it is so good!  I thought I would package some up in a little paint can and send it off to my brother in Seattle.  Hope he enjoys it - I know I sure have!

Cupcake apron

I bought a play cupcake kit for my 4 year old grand niece for Christmas and thought a little apron would be cute - well after searching online for one I thought 'hey I could make one!'  And how cute is that SU material I had stashed.  My daughter came up with the idea of the cupcake applique and I am pretty happy with it.  This was not my first sewing project (maybe 5th!) and I am quite happy with the results.

Here is another picture with a matching tag for wrapping.  I sure hope she likes it.

Now more to prepare for Christmas!

Mini bundt cake box

A couple months ago I wanted to try making traditional pound cake, but I didn't want to have a whole pound cake in the house so I made individual cakes with a mini bundt cake pan.  I had little cakes to share so I had to do something for presentation, right?!  Well, those little cupcake boxes work perfectly - just had to adjust the dimensions to fit my cakes.  Here is another picture of the finished project; I forgot to take a picture of the cake - next time...

A lovely little teapot...

I love this little teapot from Papertrey Ink; it is just so sweet.  And what's better than a little hot tea to make one feel better?

I used some retires Stampin' Up! paper that I love - I think this was the last of it!

Have a great Sunday!

Christmas cards...

I always have this idea that I will make Christmas cards throughout the year, but alas I never do.  So, now that the season is upon us I am ready to whip some up.  Love this wreath set from Papertrey Ink.

Maybe I will make some time this weekend to get a few more made; it will be time to mail soon!
