Monday cupcake Find

This Monday is a tribute to my dear friend Sweet irie and her cupcake goodies!

She recently reopened her Artfire Studio and what better welcome we can give her???
Her items are also on sale, so you better run and check her studio out!


Wristlet and Key Fob Combo Set -Cupcakes, $22.50 by Sweet Irie

Whats smaller than a purse, bigger than a wallet and more adorable than anything you've ever seen? If you guessed this stylish wristlet you would be absolutely right! And the awesomeness gets more awesome, because it comes paired with a matching key fob strap that clips right on so you'll have everything you need in one super-fashionable package.

Nearly three times the size of a coin purse, the wristlet easily holds all the necessities a cell phone, makeup, checkbook, sunglasses or whatever else you just cant be without. Handmade with designer fabric accents, this little sweetie has two layers of luxurious thick fleece and a double-layer of interfacing for stability, wristlets measure approx. 8.5" x 5.5" (21.59 cm x 13.97 cm).

The coordinating strap can be made with your choice of a Sweet Irie key fob or 3/4 thin strap, both made with webbing (for support) and the same designer fabric as the wristlet. Strap is big enough to slip on and off your wrist easily at approx. 10.5" (26.67 cm) and includes a split-ring keychain. (See last picture for an example of each strap.)

Do you have a cupcake to share with me??? XO

Featuring Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

It's time for a new feature and a new crocheted: Debbie at Girls Just Wanna HaveFun

Spa Wash Cloths - Set of Three, $9

Let's know this sweet sweet girl a little better:

I am a married working mom with two great children. I learned to crochet in Girl Scouts when I was twelve years old and to knit in college. I love to crochet, am out of control really. It's a good thing!

Fingerless Bath Mitt, $7

I am also involved in two different church ministries:
BBPC Prayer Shawl Group: we make and distribute shawls to the terminally ill, the sick, a new mom, for the bride to be, or just for friends who may need to be wrapped in prayer. I have been involved with this group for over two years and have made and donated five shawls.I wish it were more but I need 48 hrs in a day to do all I want to get done. We meet once a month to bless the shawls. It's very rewarding. At the time I found the group I was looking for something, a way to give back and be a good example to my daughters. I want them to give freely of their time and to help others in need, and they do. They have become more compassionate to the elderly, sick, and people in general. I also belong to Saving Stiches which I joined a short time after.

Cabbage Rose Bookmark, $5

I have made scarves, hats, blankets and baby booties to name a few items, which are then distributed to organizations around the world. I have met great friends thru both these groups.
We are trying to live a good life and crocheting and crafts is just part of it.

Blueberry Passion Spa Set, $7

Debbie is trying her hand at blogging and you can read her attempts at Obsessed with Crochet.
Her shop banner and avatar, as well as her blog design are the amazing work of my very best friend Michele, the owner of Sweet Irie. I think she did an amazing job, what do you all think???

I'm presenting to my readers my new necklaces in the hope to have some feedback.

I really appreciate all the comments and help for my scrubbies and I want to thank the reader that suggested the oreo cookie idea: is in production and will do the debut in my etsy shop soon and obviously I will show it here too!

Crocheted mini doily necklace in aqua cotton, $22

The inspiration for this necklaces comes from my dear friend Michele at sweetirie that generously donate me the chain that you see in the pictures so I can try my hand at it.

So, I'm playing with it and I came up with this 2 designs: the first very delicate, small and romantic looking while the second is big, intricate and on the dark side.

Crocheted goth necklace in black cotton, $30

Once again I need you help here...which design do you like most? What colour would you like to see? I'm thinking to a rich chocolate brown (I know I have an obsession with fake food LOL) and some sparkly silver....

Also I'd like to have suggestion about the metal....I'm a silver lover, but what about you? Gold, brass, black???
Can't wait to hear from all of you, I do have lots of fun reading all the comments!

My sweet friend Michele at Sweetirie has been busy with her school finals. I missed her so very much since I love chatting with her over the net, but when she showed me what she was working on, my eyes grew wide and couldn't keep a "WHOWMSA" to slip out my mouth....I'm not even sure that "WHOWMSA" it's a word, but it's my reaction for something stunning!
So, I decided to share will all the reader of my blog as well as her blog, what she's been up too and what this amazing woman can do.

Here it goes:

I think the layout and them look terrific, but I'm curious of what my reader think about it!!
