I promise, this is the last post for the evening! It's still my first day at this and I have a lot of catching up to do.
I have some great ideas for these chandeliers...one I will keep and the other I will sell. I also want to start making these personalized bolster pillows. A friend of my sisters made this one for me and she did an awesome job! The burlap curtains are some that I made when we moved in the new house in January. I was pleased with them allthough they were hard work! I hope to start making these to sell soon as well....

Yay! Fall is here....hopefully to stay.
So glad we finally got some cooler weather! I've been doing a little decorating here and there for fall and trying to do it on a budget. Here are a few pics of what I've come up with so far. The wreath, I made from willow branches out of Mom and Dad's yard, hand-me-down sunflowers from Mom, twine, dried wheat from the feed store, and burlap ribbon. The table arrangement I made from willow branches, other misc flowers, more wheat and a leftover piece of burlap ribbon. (See my youngest monkey to the right in the pic giving the "thumbs-up" sign?! LOL) I would love to find a cute outdoor stand for my sign. It says, "The only ghost that lives here is the Holy Ghost!" My mom had seen one like it at a Farmer's Market and told me about it, I thought it was a cute idea since we don't do the whole Halloween thing. I've added 3 pumpkins tonight so those aren't shown in the pics...
"Me Mouse" cake for Christian...
About 2 weeks ago I made this Mickey Mouse cake for my boss's little one, Christian. He turned 3 and he loves "Me Mouse" as he calls him! This one had me nervous! I have never free-handed a Mickey Mouse from fondant...I was paranoid he would have a lop-sided head or something. I was just a tad proud of how he turned out.
Maya Clayre's 5th Birthday~
I made a ladybug cake for Miss Maya Clayre for her 5th birthday. It was a lot
of fun, but I tell you, coloring icing is an experience! Especially when you have a certain color of hot pink in mind. I think it turned out Ok, but I would have rathered the hot pink be a little more "hot"! LOL

More Cakes from Times Past....
Wanted to post a few pics of other cakes I've done. I'm no professional by any means, but I love doing it! Here are a few of a Christmas themed wedding shower cake I made, my sister's wedding shower cake (I LOVED doing this one and had a lot of help from a good friend :), and my 8 year old, Nolan's, bug-themed birthday cake. I hope to start taking more orders soon for custom cakes...Lord willing!
New at this!
Just finished Maya's Lady-bug themed cake! She's turned out to be quite the "Diva" lady-bug with her feathers! I think she turned out cute. This is a great idea for a little girl's birthday party....the colors for the party will be hot pink and black.
Will post pictures as soon as I figure out how....
