I hope you had a fun and restful weekend. I didn't do much of any thing this weekend and that is just fine with me. It's nice to slow down every once in a while, don't you think?
I did bake some cupcakes on Saturday. I've been on a cupcake kick lately. I think because cupcakes have built-in portion control. Not that I should be eating cake, but who am I kidding? Life without sweets is no life at all.
Ashlee enjoys my cupcake kick, too. For my birthday, she gave me a cupcake charm for my Pandora bracelet.
I also made some Valentine cupcakes Saturday. No, I'm not being redundant. I crafted these cupcakes out of leftover fabric from the Valentine's Day garland I made. I know, I know. We all know about my ineptitude with fabric, but these actually turned out.
I used the tutorial on Brenda's blog. If you have never visited Brenda, you are missing out. She is just so sweet and boy is she talented. I think if I could work one-on-one with her, I may actually figure out how this whole sewing thing works.
Now, my cupcakes are no where NEAR as adorable as Brenda's but I am fairly happy with them. I couldn't figure out how to make the little dimple in the top like hers. It required a needle and thread and knowledge of how to use them.
I will be joining Mary for Mosaic Monday.
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!
Those are so stinkin cute!!~ No calories too, those are always the best. Have a great Sunday La!

ReplyDeleteI love your little cupcakes. Glad you are taking a break. It seems most of my week-ends are like that lately. I did get out last night to a college reunion of sorts.
