Unidentified Flying Sprinkles - oh my!

AVAILABLE in my ETSY shop!

You knew it was coming! A sprinkles bracelet was coming your way- finally after all this time! I had created a sprinkles bracelet earlier this year that was made entirely of resin (bangle) but it was godawful uncomfortable! The molds that Sheri Haab sells on her website for bracelets are horrible! I had bought a good size from her and even with small wrists and not-so-big hands the bangles that her molds produce are horrid! Plus- the bracelet mold that Haab sells eats up a lot of resin.

SO kiddies.... I MADE THIS! Doesn't it just remind you of UFOs?!?

This is a 17.5" silver-plated bracelet that is adorned with 6- 1" REAL candy sprinkles resin gems. Each round resin gem is filled with 3 different types of sprinkles: big rainbow balls, rainbow sticks, and tiny rainbow dots. The shape of these charms reminds me of little flying saucers! These babies are full to the brim with sugary sweet rainbow goodness that is sure to satisfy your sweet-tooth!

he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it in dew
Cover it in chocolate
and a miracle or two?
The candyman

The candyman can

The candyman can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Wow... this necklace is so Willy-Wonka to me! It reminds me of the candyshop in the beginning of the movie for some odd reason! Anyway... this was an idea I had in mind for awhile and I finally gave it a try and it turned out absolutely adorable! It's like having a little jar of candy around your neck! So sweet! The pendant consists of a tiny glass bottle that I filled up with oodles and oodles of REAL rainbow candy sprinkles! The sprinkles are sealed inside the bottle with resin and the cap of the bottle is also sealed with resin so it will not open up. I just love how this turned out!!! So frickin' cute!

Making my ass fatter.... one cupcake at a time!

So I've had my eye on the FatDaddyBakeShop ever since I found out about Etsy. I ordered two of her cupcakes one week ago and they came today. I felt like a little girl on Xmas morning when the mailman came up to my door and hand-delivered my box of goodies. I ordered the Red Velvet Revolution for myself and the PMS Cupcake AKA Chocolate Overload for my hubby Joe. We tore into them right away... didn't waste any time! It was delicious!!! Then I popped mine in the microwave for 7 seconds to melt the frosting a little and OMG- it was sweet heaven in a jar! My sweet-tooth was gleaming with joy!
I'll be back for more- that is for sure! I can't recommend these enough! DIG IN!

Sugar Coma + Candi!

I posted a brand spankin' new item in my Etsy shop today!! The Sugar Coma bracelet! I totally love how this turned out!

Sugar Coma
It just doesn't get any sweeter than this: skulls, rainbow, glitter, AND sweets! Oh my! This bracelet has it all!
This is a 17.5" silver-plated bracelet that is adorned with 6- 1" rainbow resin gems with skulls and sweets. Each round resin gem is filled with glitter: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. There are 3 skulls which alternate with a donut, ice-cream, and a lollipop. This bracelet is sinfully sweet!

Also...
Candi (my mannequin head) came UPS yesterday! Here she is Mr.T-style with my resin bling!

I'm a dirty dirty gErL!

One of my ETSY friends has the coolest last name- COCK. So she wanted one of my conversation-hearts customized with her awesome last name! How cool is that?!?! I love it.... it's cockalicious! I had a blast making this one.

Meet Candi!

I caved in today and finally bought this mannequin I have been eyeing for days! I found her on Ebay and instantly fell in love with her! I can't wait to use her in my photos! I even gave her a name already- Candi. I'm also hoping to sell this summer at a couple of shows so I'm starting to buy things that I can use to jazz up my display. I want to have a badass table.... one that you will just have to go to!
More pix to come of Candi after I get her in the mail.

ETSY Item Of The Day 02-03-08

I love this necklace named Fifi that I found in imyourpresent's Etsy shop late last night. I love chinese-crested dogs so I think this adorable little pooch necklace is just the sweetest thing. imyourpresent has a lot of other fab items in her shop and they seem to sell out fast. I wonder if she does custom orders? I would love to have a necklace like this with my pekingese, Bianca, inside.... maybe with mint-green or pink lace around the edges??

Custom orders I just finished!

As I always say- I love custom orders! I just love making them. They break me out of my mold and force me to do something new. They can be stressful at times but I always get the job done in a timely matter and I always make sure my customers love them! So far so good!

I just finished these two orders and absolutely love how they turned out!
