I LOVE cupcakes. I’m not sure if I will ever be able to convey via the written word just how much I do love cupcakes, but I do. This painting is adorable and can be found on CakeSpy.com Shop on Etsy. Perfect for a whimsical kitchen or a little future baker’s bedroom.
Inspiring Me: CreativePal on Etsy April 7, 2008
Yes, it’s been awhile. I had to take a break from my etsy crafting to make some exciting birthday presents. April is the month of birthdays for me. Everybody has one month a year where half their friends and family all have birthdays and April brings present showers every year for me. So, while I would love to at least post some of the projects I’ve been working on for my loved ones, I will have to wait until May in case they stumble upon these posts. For now, I would like to let you know who is inspiring me today:
You have to go through this site for yourself: CreativePal on Etsy. It took me about half an hour to decide to post the one that I chose above, but it was a tough decision. Absolutley wonderful pieces on this site. Check it out!

Inspiring Me: Fat Daddy Bake Shop March 12, 2008

FAT DADDYS FAVORITE PB AND J SAMMICH CUPCAKE(TM)
A bakery in Illinois that makes and ships cupcakes in a jar. Not sure why there is only one cupcake being listed presently as usually there are TONS of selections and each one sounds better than the next. I am such a fan of this site! Particularly the packaging. Genius!

Comfortable and Beautiful – Nail on the Head February 13, 2008
Excellent job! Those are quite beautiful. I really like the different designs on each. Very nice. I think $25-$35 is a good range…especially depending on how much detail you put on them. Basically, for fair pricing, I try to take into account the materials, and then how many hours it took to create. Then figure out how much you are paying yourself an hour.
Another suggestion, so that you could have different price ranges, is to make the shell of the pillow…because the form or the stuffing (not sure what you are using), is probably a good chunk of the cost. So, you could sell different pillow covers, and then people could cover pillows they already have.
Beautiful combination of fabrics! Good job.
