Creativity is meant to be shared

Here are some money/card boxes that I've recently fashioned.  I love making the Hello Kitty ones!!  They're my favorite.  I'm working on two more Hello Kitty ones and will post those when I'm done.  If you have an upcoming party, let me know, I'd love to make you one! :) 

AND Happy Cyber Monday everyone!  Lots of deals on the interweb.  Ready, set, shop!

Love, S

Current obsession

I've been obsessed with nail art... watching vids on YouTube non-stop.  Elizabeth from IHaveACupcake is freakin' amazing.  Check out her work on her YouTube channel.  Here are a couple money/card boxes I've done recently.  Hello Kitty was shipped all the way to Cali and she made it there safely.  Tomorrow is Monday.  Where did the weekend go?  If anyone finds it, can you let me know? Okay... that's all folks.  QT with the hubby.

What I've been up to

Just wanted to share a few things I've been making.  Cardboxes for parties.

Artsy Fartsy

I love shopping for craft supplies and new fabrics to add to my collection!  My hubby will attempt one of his first sewing projects for himself; a linen vest!  I can't wait to see the outcome.  He once made me a skirt and even put in a zipper.  Impressive huh?  I ♥ my crafty hubby.  It's great that we can be artsy fartsy together.

Here is my most recent money/card box I've created! Tink! Super cute. :)

Off to enjoy some 2am dirrrrty martinis with my handsome hubby. :)  As my BFF would say, "I'm soooo thirrrsty!"... and one of me and the hubs favorite toasts..

...never above you, never below you, always beside you...

Day Dreaming Wonderland...

I've been thinking.. I need to start an empire with my talent! :) Just one idea and it could explode into a multi-million dollar phenom! who knows.. it could happen to me. Wishful thinking.

I made another money box (normally a tradition in Hawaii, these boxes are used or displayed at parties; normally located at the "sign in" / gift table... guests place their cards in these boxes) for my friends daughter's first birthday party this weekend.  It came out pretty great, that I wanted to keep it for myself. But it would just take up way too much space in our little home.

On my lunch break at work.... :) I really love the color of this dress against my skin... why don't I have more of this in my wardrobe!?!

Wearing: dress - Vertigo, sandals - Style & Co.,  locket - Lucky Feather, ring - F21, bangle - Thrifted

I also made a diaper cake for my cousin's baby shower. Yay another girl in the family! :) It was a Hello Kitty diaper cake and I'm sad that I don't have any "blog worthy" pictures to share.

This is what I wore to the shower....

Wearing: navy dress (from last year) - F21, boots - Carrini, sheer tights - George, bracelets - F21, BIG bow headband - Ross

I'm really excited for Alice in Wonderland this coming March. The beautiful Johnny Depp. *sigh*. I have an outfit in the works... eeek!! and this BIG bow headband will go great with it! Can't wait to share.

Love, S

p.s. This is a bit embrassing, but I hate to admit that I'm really into the song Tik Tok by Ke$ha. Gawd! LOL. and my hubby got me "hooked" on Jersey Shore. *fist pump* double oh my gosh!!

Love Bug

Mrs. Crafty came out last night.. and created this lovely lady bug money box. My camera isn't the greatest, so the pictures don't really do the bug justice. The wings are satiny and puffy!

Delivering the bug to the customer. She was very excited!! :) I love making people happy.
Wearing: tee - OMNI Peace, skinnies - ON, sandals - Yoki, locket necklace - Lucky Feather (Cinnamon Girl)

I got a couple of new heels today. They were VERY affordable, both pairs for only $30... and despite they are 5 inches high and considerably 'cheap' in price, they don't feel cheap, they are very comfy.  If I had a job that required me to stand for the whole day, I could in these. I love love love the bows on the first pair and I love that the maryjane has a hidden platform.. also love the two different textures "leather" and "suede".

I really want to wear them with socks... hmmmm.

But what I really want is a pair of sparkly socks... just like these ones in the Dior Spring 2010 (rtw).

Pooma got a new outfit today too... from grandma + grandpa (my parents).  Her top says "Little Miss Perfect"... so sad, her paws are stained, because she can't stop licking them!!!!!! :( I think next time we take her to the groomers, we're going to have to try poodle feet.. ew!

Sweet dreams.. off to slumber land......

Love, S

Procrastination pays off... (sometimes)

Quick post...

A few months ago I recieved an order for a custom made money/card box for a 1st birthday party.  I've made money boxes in the past (some include Nemo starfish, Mickey Mouse, pineapple, tokidoki, rasta hearts, cookies, crown, lady bug), but was really excited to do seahorse.  I started this project last night or should I say this morning at 12am and finished a little before 2am!! I'm very happy with the results. :)

The inspiration ~Fisher Price, Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse~

and My creation..

You can see how big I made it!!

Next month I get to finally make my first Hello Kitty one! I'm VERY excited for that one.. and I also get to make a zebra print inspired one for a friend. Got any parties coming up? Orders welcomed. :)

One more thing... today is the last day for the ciellestar giveaway. Enter if you haven't already... a winner will be announced tomorrow!

Happy Friday lovlies. 

Love, S

p.s. I want one of these sooo bad!! I hope I find it under the tree.. if not I'll be getting it for myself for the new year... It's my inspiration to sew more.. and begin designing :)
