Digital Re-decorating

Lately I have been pondering on re-decorating my room ( since I now actually have a room with four walls as opposed to having all my stuff in the dining room. :P ) and I think I have settled upon a design...

Here's the room now....

So I decided to take this picture and play around with ideas in Photoshop Elements
and here is what I have come up with...

more or less this is what I think I would like....
(please ignore the poor editing skills. :P )

I don't know if you guys remember, but a while back I made a R2-D2 cake for my nephews birthday. Well when I was in the process of making the cake, our five year old neighbor was over visiting, and before I had even iced the cake, he exclaimed "R2-D2!!". Ever since then he has gone on and about how for his 6th Birthday he wanted "Dantha" on make him an R2-D2 cake.
This weekend he had his 6th birthday party and he got his wish. He was so excited that everytime someone showed up he ran up to them and said, "Come look at my R2-D2 cake!!!"

Froggy love.

So... I know it is late, but I am still up because I just got done decorating a cake for a friend of mines baby shower tomorrow. There was some complications (hence the lateness of it being done) but i am very pleased with the way it turned out. Thought I'd share ;) ( sorry for the horrible quality of the pictures).

Busy Little Creative Bee.

I have been feeling particularly creative lately,and have taken to re-purposing a lot of my clothing. It's so much fun taking something that I maybe didn't really like, and then putting my style into it, and making it something that i never want to take off! Also I have been taking clothes that weren't so modest, and using scrap fabric to change that. I might post some before and after pictures later.

Getting the Idea from this blog, I've been making these cute little fabric flowers. I've been using them for my hair, but could use these to put on clothes, bags, etc. Just love the idea.

I cut out some "flower shapes" from fabric...


and then put the edges of the flowers just above the flame of a candle, so that the heat curls the edges...
Then sew them together with a few beads in the middle and ...Viola!
Here's a few I have already made...


I love 'em.(:

Star Wars.

My nephew, who has turned 6, is having his birthday party in a Star Wars theme (Him and 12 year old brother can't get enough of it).
So for his party I have made him an R-2 D-2 cake.

I'm pretty proud of it. ;)
