And since I can't ever stop with just one of anything, I also created a new Pirate Mega Cupcake! The wiggly icing makes it look like he has a mustache. I have so many more ideas for new cupcakes now!

And then because the donuts were going so well I decided to get really crazy! Cherry pie anyone?? I'm really pleased with how this bead turned out. This one is also in my Etsy shop and I shall be creating a pie series, I do believe! What do you think?

I had a lovely weekend. Saturday Steve and I went out for lunch and visited the Battle of Britain war memorial which was both fun and sobering. Seeing those names on the wall is heartbreaking but fills you with gratitude. The planes were really neat and the view is spectacular to boot! It is free to visit and I would highly recommend stopping by.

Sunday our friends, Lee and Sue, came over and we had a wonderful time. I baked some banana cupcakes and made some fresh cream cheese icing to top them off. MMM! Sue had a go on my torch and made two REALLY good beads! She even did a nice dotty bead for her second try! Afterwards we had a nice Indian followed by cupcakes and homemade ice cream :) I had banana and strawberry to go with my banana cupcake :D It was YUMMY! Have I convinced you to buy an ice cream machine yet?! Sue said she was going to move in just for the sweets! heehee :)

What did you guys get up to this weekend? Anything interesting?

Have a great week!

This bracelet and earring set I made with my Simply Rossata bead set. I LOVE this glass and it looks so beautiful etched. I was planning on keeping this set for myself but I haven't decided yet ;)

Debbie also makes jewellery. I already have a few pieces from her and wanted more so I got in touch with her. I asked if she could make a set of rainbow, felted bangles, some felted beads and a set of purple felted bracelets. Above is what she came up with. GORGEOUS! Each of the bracelets is beautifully embroidered. The set I already have is just as pretty (I should really take a picture!) and is also beaded with tiny purple heart beads! LOVELOVELOVE! Debbie doesn't just make dolls and jewellery though. She also creates fantastic bags, purses and other adorable things. I have all three of those items too ;) My bag is in black, purse is black with a purple sheep and, of course, I have the purple business card holder too! Everywhere I go people comment on how amazing my 'Debbie Delights' are and it makes me so happy to share her with all of you. I cannot say enough about this amazingly talented artist. Please go check out her Etsy shop and her website right this minute! You won't be disappointed ;)

Thanks for all the wonderful things you create, Debbie. I love them.. and you! :)

Show her some love, everyone!

Have a great day :)

And here is my Eye Love Halloween Mega Cupcake Focal (don't you just LOVE my naming conventions?!) which proved ridiculously popular last year and is off to a good start this year as well! The eyeball staring out makes me giggle every time ;)

One of my lovely customers asked if I could turn my Rock Diva and Pumpkin Mega Cupcake Focals into pendants. Of course I can! I'm always happy to turn any of my beads into jewellery for you guys so please don't hestitate to ask ;) I'm on a real pumpkin kick and I see no end in sight just yet. I celebrate Thanksgiving too so the pumpkins are great for not just one but TWO holidays! Oh yay! heehee :)

Steve has off work tomorrow so our long weekend with Kaia begins tonight. YAY! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend too :)

Love,

This is my 'bad side' but I wanted to show the braided bangs (fringe). This is how I wear my hair most of the time these past two weeks. You can also see my awsesome, custom made purple and black button necklace by the wonderful Collette of Noodlefish. The fab pink and purple ribbon pendant is by the equally wonderful Mel of Poor Robin. I love these girls and their jewellery SO much!!

Ok, I'm off for a day out with Jen, Ariana and Kaia. We're going to lunch at the Chinese buffet (MMM) and then I'm taking Kaia shopping for her birthday.

Have a great day!

Love,
