Black Swan Martini Tutu

In honor of my favorite Oscar flick "Black Swan" I decided to serve cocktails dressed in a black tutu for the Oscars.  Super fun right :)  I plan on making these amazing white chocolate martinis and calling them "White Swan Martinis" so of course I felt the need to create the black swan tutu to go along with it!

Simply cut off about 12 inches of black tulle from a 6 inch roll (the kind they sell at the craft stores, usually in the bridal section), fold it over so it's now 3 inches by 12 inches, cut up and fringe about 1.5 inches about every inch to give it that "tutu" look, then stitch a running stitch along the top.  Grab your glass, pull the stitch so it bunches up and tie it to secure it around your glass.  I added a sparkly button with a few loose stitches...so fancy!  You will be the hit of Oscar night with stylih tutu glass!

Stache on a Stick...who knew!

I clearly underestimated the popularity of a mustache on a stick.  Last night I was set up at the Holiday Artist Market downtown and instead of having a candy treat at my table for the holiday festivites I decided to make a bunch of "Stache on a Stick" fun to giveaway.  Well holy moly...the town went mustache crazy.  I had heards of folks rushing my table asking if I was "the mustache girl"  which was both cute and odd at the same time!  Everyone wanted a free litttle stache and I was out of them 2 hours into the night :)  Needless to say the world is a much funnier place when you're town is wearing mustaches on sticks all night long. What a blast, I think I may make it a regular thing at all craft shows.

And yes many folks also bought the flask to go along with the stache...next up necklaces!

Guy Time

My husband never really asks for much when it comes to my crafting.  So when he said  "can't you make something retro cool without any flowery crap all over it"...I knew I had a challenge.  Trying to fit some guy style into my line that's dedicated to bringing out the retro glam in the everyday girl, well it took me a minute to digest.

Then I realized most of my glam girls have dapper men...so I'm working on a retro collection for those guys!

Why not have a little man chic right?

My dad loves the money clips...

And the guys at my hubby's work love the flasks.

Hopefully my man is happy now :)

Girls Night Out Kit

Okay so when in reality I'm going to Chuckie Cheese tonight with my hubby and my little guys, in my fantasy I'm going out with the girls for a Bon Jovi concert (at which point Bon Jovi will call me onstage and sing to me and profess his love...a girl can dream right?). This is a little kit I've designed for such occasion, or just a calm girls night with friends.  Complete with a girly flask, retro double sided mirror and mini glam hair pin...with these tools who wouldn't have a fun night! 

I do love Chuckie Cheese though...I'm hooked on the pizza.
