I am back!!

Hello my crafty friends,

 I cannot believe I have not posted anything since November 2012.  I started a new position at my job the beginning of last year and took a small break from crafting to absorb my new role. It was not easy staying away from the craft room, each time I passed my craft room I could hear my supplies calling my name, LOL!  So while I was away I still completed a few projects.  I completed two diaper cakes, hosted and coordinated decorations for my family reunion,  coordinated decorations for my niece sweet 16, created Mother’s  Day and Father’s Day gifts for my church, hosted a DIY Christmas ornaments with the kids at my church and most recently completed a towel cake.  As you can see I still hand my hands in the craft room and I am back.

Today I will share my diapers cakes that I created last year.  One is a Teddy Bear-wagon diaper cake for my God-Daughter, husband and baby Maddox.

The second diaper cake was for my sister’s God-daughter and we created a princess diaper cake.

            

I will share I hope you enjoyed and thank you for coming by.

Tricycle Diaper Cake

Hello my crafty friends,

I cannot believe September is knocking on the door, the days and weeks just have escaped me.  I have been finishing up a few projects that I want to post.   Today I am sharing another diaper cake, tricycle cake I made for my friend’s daughter. Congratulations Courtney and Dominque, the baby made his debut right after the baby shower, two weeks early.  I guess Prince Dominque was ready to enjoy his new toys..lol

The color theme was lime green, blue and brown with monkeys.  My sister Athena and I had had a lot of fun with this diaper cake.   The monkey on the tricycle is just too cool..lol  

To make the diapered tricycle, I used 36-Size 3 diapers, paper towel roll, rubber bands and ribbon.  I rolled 18 diapers starting at the waist/elastic end tightly roll the diaper up secure rubber band around the middle of diaper.  I made 3 wheels using 6 rolled diapers and 6 flat diapers, paper towel roll and medium size rubber bands.

Place the medium size rubber band around the paper towel roll. Then insert 6 rolled diapers around the roll. 

Then take 6 flat diapers and layer the around the rolled diapers in a spiral pattern and secured with ribbon.

Then I threaded two pipettes through the back wheels to help support the exhaust pipe and threaded a rolled blanket through the front wheel to make the exhaust pipe.  I took the pipettes and wrapped it around the blankets to secure it in place.

Then I threaded blanket through the front wheel to make the handle bar. 

Then I placed a sippy cup for the head light, socks on the handle bar and the ends of the exhaust pipes, bottle cleaners as flags, and folded blankets for the seat.

For the diaper cake tiers I used:

Top layer-newborn diapers (60), Middle layer-Size 1 (60) Bottom layer-Size 2-3(70) with rolled lollipop towels and rolled sock rosebuds and monogrammed. 

More Goodies personalized t-shirts and diaper wipe case

Under The Sea Diaper Cak

Hello my crafty friends,

Today I am sharing the Under The Sea Diaper Cake and Favors for baby Vladimir’s baby shower.   It is the last baby shower for the family for a while (well at least until the end of the summer..lol)  My sister Athena and I worked on this diaper cake together again.  I have to give Athena’s most of the credit on the concept, because I was exhausted and was going to make the traditional three tier cake.  She did a fabulous job with teddy in the boat idea.  We made this diaper cake for my beautiful cousin Clarissa and Vladimir. They are expecting little Vladimir late June.

The theme for this diaper cake was Under the Sea.

The sailboat was made out of a shoe box, batting and baby blanket. Athena rocked this concept!!!

Shoe Box converted to sailboat

Teething Ring as a life ring...He is soooo cute
