Bah! I need to remember that this self imposed “cook every cupcake in the Martha Stewart Cupcake book” is a marathon, not a sprint. But let me tell you, the reality that I’m knocking on the door of the teens and there 175 in this book is a little daunting.
Not because the cupcakes themselves are [...]
You’d think that after a year of attempting to be crafty, the excitement would settle, but it hasn’t. I swear, I make the simplest, by the number projects, but each one makes me feel so amazingly excited. I found this article form crafter Cathy of California on making mod podged paper broaches.

A few weeks ago I made it downtown to see a screening of a documentary called Handmade Nation, a complimentary film to the book by the same name from Fayth Levine. For me the film made me think about the difference between crafters, makers and artists.

Introducing the empire….
I’ve this little cupcake inspired blog going for over 18 months and people always ask me if I would consider opening a store or becoming a baker. While the idea is romantic at times, I don’t think that’s the route for me (for now).

African Kelli sent an invitation out this week for a $1 art class at the Mesa Arts Center. The workshop’s focus is on Latino culture and secondly this one showcased Frida Kahlo.
For me Frida’s work has always been so personal. I have art books with her collections showcased in them and I don’t put any [...]

With the weather cooling off a [...]
