MOVING!

2010-01-13T12:08:00.001-08:00

I know it's been FOREVER and a DAY since I have done anything with this blog! I think it's party because I like blogging about my projects AND family stuff all on one blog! Make sense? Soooooo, if you would head over to Ellis Events, you will find me and all my craft ideas...and a tad bit more!

Finally, curtains!

2008-12-02T06:28:00.000-08:00

I feel like I have not posted on here in FOREVER! I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful!

While off work I decided to get my kitchen curtains done. They have been sitting on the table just waiting to be stapled into place, so we finally took the time to do it. I'm amazed at how good they look and all it took was some fabric and a staple gun!!

Dollar Store Finds

2008-10-17T11:01:00.000-07:00

So I decided to browse the Dollar Tree with my new found love for making something out of nothing. I have been stalking a few GRAND blogs and they have given me a new outlook on my creativness. I am renewed and ready to create for the holidays!
I found these burnt orange candle holders....total cost....$2

Add some cute black/white polkadot ribbon on them.... and Viola, you have some cute candle holders to put anywhere. No, this wasn't my most creative thing to do....but it's a start. My ribbon was some I had on hand from my diaper cakes, and I purchased the yummy smelling candels from Hobby Lobby for $4 each. My grand total was $10. I think my first time out went well...

Party Plates

2008-10-16T09:05:00.000-07:00

I really don't do a lot of hosting, but if/when I do my next one...this is the place to go for party supplies (plates, napkins, etc). It's delicious!! It's called Loft Party. They have to most georgous paper party plates you have ever seen. You wouldn't think paper could be so wonderful! Guess again!

Fall Craft

2008-10-13T07:02:00.000-07:00

This weekend I picked up some things to make this cute fall craft from the Better Homes and Gardens website. It turned out pretty cute but I need more of the hay to make ground cover. I got everything at Hobby Lobby.

It was very easy to do.

Here We Go Again!

2008-10-09T12:13:00.000-07:00

New Baby Girl Diaper Cake

2008-09-25T08:10:00.000-07:00

A Bit Overwhelmed!

2008-09-24T07:36:00.000-07:00

I have been really busy (which is a good thing) making LOTS of diaper cakes! I had an order from a very nice lady for 10 cakes. She is going to put them in her ultra sound office. I think it's very exciting!
I also have other orders to fill as well. I love being busy with orders...I just wish I had more time! Who doesn't?
I am also gearing up for the MOPS Craft Fair here in Edmond on the 11th!

Craft Show

2008-09-16T06:59:00.001-07:00

The craft show last Saturday went well. I am really looking forward to the one here in Edmond on the 11th. It's OU/TX weekend, but I'm hoping that doesn't keep people away!

Here is a picture of my booth last weekend. I won 3rd place for "best booth".

The one here in Edmond is October 11th from 9am to 3pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Edmond. It's located on Rankin between 9th and 15th. Come out and see us!!

Crazy Busy!

2008-09-10T09:05:00.000-07:00

I have been working hard, and we have been so busy at home! LOTS of Birthdays this month! Diaper cakes are being made late into the night to get ready for Saturday's crafty show. Last night I made this cake for the show.And I started working on this cake for a huge baby shower that is coming up.Not sure how I managed to take a picture crooked!

Work, work, work!

2008-09-08T12:54:00.000-07:00

I have been so busy lately that I have forgotten to blog!
My sister in-law and I are gearing up for the craft show this Saturday! For those of you in the area, it's at the Payne County Expo Hall (near Stillwater,OK) this Saturday from 9am-6pm! Come out and see us!
I was out of town for 10 days....and that was nice! Clint was in a catamaran race in South Padre over Labor Day weekend. They did great...came in 8th.
I will post some new cakes I am working on for a huge baby shower! Check back!

Finally Back!

2008-08-13T08:35:00.000-07:00

It seems like forever since I have posted anything on here! Between becoming foster parents to a 14 month old, getting rediculously sick, dealing with ear infections and chicken pox, working hard on cakes for the craft show, and filling orders...it's been just crazy around my house!

Today I am finally back at work and starting to feel like myself again. I just completed 3 cakes...this one was a new design. I just love blue and brown...and this new ribbon just made my day!

More New Cakes

2008-07-28T12:46:00.000-07:00

I have been working pretty hard trying to get ready for my first craft show in September. I LOVE the color combo in this first cake, Preppy Personalized! They really go great together. The second cake is a 1 tier personalized cake. I love the silky camo ribbon and I think it would make a wonderful shower gift!!

How Cool Is This?

2008-07-24T09:23:00.000-07:00

I'm SUPER excited about my new banner! No, the scary white van is NOT mine, nor does it come with the banner. HA
I ordered this online and can't wait to see it. I just had to share my excitment with the blog world!!

2008-07-24T09:11:00.001-07:00

Gearing up for the craft fair in Stillwater, I found it necessary to make a few "Cowboy" & "Cowgirl" diaper cakes. They turned out really cute and were fun to make. I will get the "Cowgirl" one posted soon. They come with an O'Cowboys paci clip and an OSU paci!

9am- 6pm

Payne County Expo Hall

(3 miles East of Stillwater, OK on HWY 51)

My sister in-law, Kendra, and I are getting a pre-Affair of the Heart trial run at doing a craft show. I was asked to participate in the "Fall Into the Holidays" Arts & Crafts Show in Stillwater. I knew Fourteen Beads would be a great fit for it too, so now she will be right next to me.

I have been busy "cake" making and filling orders, on top of "cake" making for the craft show.

This is in OSU country, so there will be plenty of OSU styled diaper cakes!

Can't wait!!

Oh, here are my two latest cakes....

New Custom Orders

2008-06-30T11:32:00.001-07:00

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a return customer and a referred customer!! I was so excited! It's so nice to know that someone liked your work so much that they passed on your information to their friends! That is such an honor!

To have a repeat customer is fantastic... Thank you to all of you who love "Classy Baby Cakes" and have spread the word. It is greatly appreciated~

Here are my two newest cakes.

This cute "music" cake was an order from a lady to her daughter's music teacher. Cute!

This one tier "Baby Boy" cake was for a repeat customer!!

Cheetah-rific!

2008-06-23T09:24:00.000-07:00

I LOVE pink! I wish I was still a teen, because my bedroom would be PINK! Pink pillows, pink rugs, pink walls..... it's just such a girly color...and i'm girly! I love lime green too! That would be the accent color! :)
This "Pink Cheetah Diaper Cake" is my latest and greatest...ok, maybe not my greatest...but i'm biased, I think they are all GREAT!

This one can be personalize, just as all my others, for no additional charge!

New additions

2008-06-19T13:03:00.001-07:00

Here are a few of my other new additions to "Classy Baby Cakes". I have got to start getting ready for An Affair of the Heart in October. Hate to say it, but it will be here before we know it! I'm teaming up with my sister in-law, Kendra, over at 14beads.com for the show this year! It will be a first for the both of us, so we'll see!! This is a cute "Daddy's Champ" diaper cake. I LOVE these colors together! It comes with 46 diapers, bibs, and matching newborn shoes. SO CUTE!
This is another version of my Giraffe cake. He comes out a little different every time!
Same for my Puppy cake. I like it MUCH better with white letters! This one was personalized for "Xander"
OK, STOP LAUGHING at my attempt to photoshop the wheels! I know it turned out crazy, but I tried!! This was a fun cake. My customer was hosting a baby shower with a Radio Flyer theme. She loved the cake!

New Creations

2008-06-10T12:38:00.001-07:00

Learning Photoshop!

2008-05-21T07:03:00.001-07:00

So I finally perfected my photoshop skills! I think the pictures look great with no background! Some of them were really hard to do, but thanks to GIMP it was fairly easy!

I have been super busy this week. We are moving tomorrow and I had family in town all weekend. I didn't start packing until Monday, so it's been crazy busy at my house! My step-son has baseball tonight and tomorrow night which just leaves me to get stuff done before the moving guys come tomorrow! Yikes! Once I'm moved I will be creating more "Classy Baby Cakes" for you all to enjoy!

1st Featured Etsian!

2008-05-13T13:42:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited to start featuring fellow Etsy sellers on my blog! I hope to feature a very talented Etsian once a week, so if you would like to be added to the list please email me at kathleen@sewcuteandcrafty.com!

So.... my first featured artist is Jamie from The Pat-a-Cake Baby! She is a SAHM of a 9 month old baby girl who has been crafting since childhood. She is a sewing queen!!
My favorite item is the adorable hand sewn pacifier bibs! They are individually crafted using trendy and modern fabrics. They have a soft cotton print on one side and plush minkee fabric on the other, making them REVERSIBLE! A pearl snap is used to attach the pacifier and velcro is used to attach the bib around baby's neck, which allows for greater size adjustments. Get over to The Pat-a-Cake Baby and check out her other adorable creations!!

Thanks, Jamie, for being my 1st featured artist from Etsy!!

Personalize Me Part 2

2008-05-13T07:36:00.000-07:00

This cute cake is the second cake in the Personalize Me line of simple but classy. The customer wanted pink and black... and wanted it to be personalized. The bling on the letters adds just the right touch!

Personalize Me!

2008-05-09T11:29:00.001-07:00

I finished the first of two personalized cakes I have on my list! This one is a spin-off of the "Personalized Cake" I have on my website. This is an "updated" version of that! My next cake is going to be FUN to make. It's black and pink!! I LOVE doing pink cakes! So anyway, hope you like this one!

Random Thought

2008-05-08T06:59:00.000-07:00

I love being busy! I love when people think my cakes are "Classy".
I'm working on giving my cakes their own name. I have come up with "Classy Baby Cakes". My new tag line is "Classy Diaper Cakes for the Chic Mom-to-be". I hope it's catchy and hip! I was feeling like "Sew Cute and Crafty" just didn't do it for the cakes, but I didn't want to do an entire overhaul of my website...so I figured I can just brand the cakes instead. Much easier!
I'm working on 2 right now. A personalized cake for "Cooper" and one for "Nicole". I really like custom cakes. They give me the ability to create something new and unique! LOVE IT!
Stay tuned, I will post some pics of the 2 cakes.

Wordless Wednesday

2008-05-07T12:14:00.000-07:00

Finally!!

2008-05-06T08:14:00.000-07:00

My favorite author, Emily Giffin, is finally releasing her next book!! If you have not read her first three, then stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and RUN out and buy them! They are page turners!The New York Times bestselling author of SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE, and BABY PROOF delivers another captivating, straight-from-the heart novel. This is a story for everyone who has ever wondered: How can I truly love the one I'm with, when I can't forget the one who got away?
Ellen and Andy's marriage doesn't just seem perfect, it is perfect. There is no question how deep their devotion is, and how naturally they bring out the best in each other. But one fateful afternoon, Ellen runs into Leo for the first time in eight years. Leo, the one who brought out the worst in her. Leo, the one who left her heartbroken with no explanation. Leo, the one she could never quite forget. When his reappearance ignites long-dormant emotions, Ellen begins to question whether the life she’s living is the one she's meant to live. LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH is a powerful story about one woman at the crossroads of true love and real life.

My new Flower Garden

2008-05-04T17:36:00.000-07:00

This is the newest cake I created. I call it "Little Flower Garden". It's made with Pampers Swaddlers, bright ribbon, and sweet felt flowers. I love it because it's so cheerful and bright.

I have put it on Etsy, www.craftycreations2.etsy.com, but have not uploaded it to my website yet. It's $55.

My Posse

2008-05-04T15:25:00.000-07:00

I took a picture of some of my cakes today. All the bright colors together just made me smile.

Custom Cake for "Emily"

2008-04-25T07:13:00.001-07:00

I finished the custom cake for "Emily" last night. It turned out really cute! It's off to Austin today.

OPRAH!

2008-04-24T09:01:00.000-07:00

Have you given or received a classy cake by Sew Cute and Crafty? Are our diaper cakes your idea of a perfect gift for the expecting Mommy? If so, TELL OPRAH about us!

Custom Cakes

2008-04-24T07:06:00.000-07:00

This week I have been working on a few custom cake orders. The first was a variation of the Pink Gerber Daisy Cake. She liked the cake, but needed it for a boy. I used baby blue and brown and white flowers. The cake turned out very chic and I really liked the crisp look! I didn't have time to take good pictures of it because we were on a shipping time crunch, so this pic is the only one I took!
The second picture is of the cake I'm working on right now. It's also a spin-off from the Gerber Daisy Diaper Cake. She wanted to use a sea-foam green with the pink and brown polka ribbon. She also wanted to personalize it with the name "Emily". The picture is just the bottom layer of the cake. It was late last night, so I decided to finish it tonight.

I'm Back!

2008-04-21T12:43:00.001-07:00

My cute hubby and I at our hotel.
The two "Lobsters"
My and my sweet niece, Izzy.

So we are back from our weekend trip to San Antonio. It was really fun, but too short!

I have some new cakes to work on this week so I can't wait to get them on the blog!

Wordless Wednesday

2008-04-16T09:23:00.000-07:00

Photo shoot!

2008-04-14T13:13:00.001-07:00

This weekend I worked on a few new cakes for my website and for the photographer that is coming out today. Her name is Heather Giles and she is with Giles Photography. She just moved to OK from CA and is trying to make a name for herself here.
She found my cakes on Craigslist and asked if she could photograph them for free! I jumped right on that! So, I have 3 of my favorite cakes...and 3 new ones for her to shoot.
I will post those pictures as soon as I get them!
Clint and I are off to San Antonio for our 2nd Anniversary this weekend!

Diaper Cake for Caroline Rose

2008-04-11T06:47:00.001-07:00

Last night I worked on a custom cake for Becca at www.beccaboos.com a very cute little boutique. The cake was designed for baby Caroline Rose. The sweet rose ribbon and bows really make this cake one of my favorites. I love custom orders! Email me at kathleen@sewcuteandcrafty.com for your own!

Wordless Wednesday- Picture of the decade

2008-04-09T11:18:00.000-07:00

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if r emoved from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr.Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr.Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

Update: G.N.I

2008-04-08T11:35:00.000-07:00

Erin, Kendra, and Steph... painting their nails
Steph's super rad nail polish, "artwork" by Erin

Ok, so how is it that we have a really fun G.N.I and these two random pictures are the only ones I took? I'm usually the one with the camera in everyone's face! Oh well. We still had fun, and believe it or not, we all stayed up until 2am! I paid for it the next day, but oh well.

We played a game or two, painted our nails (well sort of) and chatted! The margarita's were good... and the wine was tasty.

I guess next time I will take more pictures!

Girl's Night In!

2008-04-04T06:50:00.001-07:00

So I'm taking a break from "baking" Delicious Diaper Cakes and have put on my party hat! "Why?" you ask... Well because it's GNI (aka..Girl's Night In) at my house! Yes, you heard it right... we are putting on our most comfy PJ's and gearing up for a night of girl talk and margarita's! I'm so excited! My husband, Clint, is out of town on a ski trip with his men's group.... so I decided to get ultra girly and throw a party!
Last night I baked cupcakes & brownies, and with the help of my fellow GNI friend Melissa, we made a fruit tray with dip, and a veggie tray.
Yes, there were a few cupcakes that were sacraficed in the process but we had to make sure everything was up to par for the occasion! Check back for some great party pics!!

Love, love, love these napkins! They say, "Eat, drink, and be girly"

A true GNI would not be complete without "Dirty Dancing, Sixteen Candles, Riding in Cars with Boys, and Grease"

The "BIG BUCKET"... watch out!

I made "girly bags" for all my guests complete with gossip magazines, foot lotion, face masks, etc...

Busy is GOOD!

2008-03-27T11:16:00.001-07:00

Yes, I cannot and will not complain about being busy this week!!! I have sold 3 cakes this week and worked hard and got them all done and shipped already! We have been really busy with baseball (Blake, my 7 yr old step-son, has started baseball season this week) and with other random happenings! Funny, because I still make time for diaper cake creating, homework helping, blogging, posting on Etsy.com, and American Idol watching!! Needless to say, I'm asleep the second my head hits the pillow.
This "Little Sailor Diaper Cake" is my most recent.

Cakes on Display!

2008-03-24T11:16:00.000-07:00

My cakes are on display at Bellingham Baby Company!! I'm so excited to see how WONDERFUL Shelly's store turned out and what a great job she did displaying my cakes! I'm like a proud mama! :)

Her store, which is located at 2925 Newmarket Place Bellingham, WA 98226, is full of fun, functional, fabulous things for baby and mom! If you are in that area, check it out! If not, you can always shop online at http://www.kangaroodle.com/

My newest 3

2008-03-22T15:55:00.001-07:00

This weekend I have been working on 3 new cakes. The first, which I call "Diva-Licious" is 4 tiers of pure princess! I LOVED making this cake. The funky pink boah and the dot crystal embellishments really made this cake POP! The second, appropriately named "Jungle Monkey" is a 2 tier cake. This cake was just as fun. The cute monkey is a Ty Pluffie, and the green gerber daisies accent the whole cake. The third, "Bath Time" started out as a whole different idea. I was going to make it more the boy themed cake... but then after I got started and picked out the camo ribbon for the monkey cake, this cake became the gender neutral cake. It's embellished with travel bath soap, lotion, etc... and cute bath time friends stickers. Of course it's topped with a cute Ty Pluffie (i just love those things!)
So these three were sent to a wonderful boutique here in Edmond called "Funky Monkey". They fit right in with all the hip, trendy kids clothes and accessories they sell.

Pretty Piggy Princess

2008-03-17T20:39:00.001-07:00

So last night I created a Pretty Piggy Diaper Cake. Isn't she just precious? I have started to hunt for cute ideas for "cake" toppers. I found this pig and knew she would make a diva-licious cake topper!! I have added her to my Etsy store, but not to the website yet.

I love this cake! Who can resist these cute Stride Rite Leather Cruisers? I bought them thinking they would make a great cake topper! They are a $40 value alone!

Ta-Da!

Here they are! I finished my 6 diaper cakes last night. I have to ship them today and I'm hoping that goes smooth! I can't wait to hear what Kangaroodle has to say, and I can't wait to see them on display! What an exciting event!

I have decided to "brand" the diaper cakes. I'm looking for some cute, creative suggestions. I want to be able to set them apart from other things I do, and I don't feel like "Sew Cute and Crafty" really goes with my cakes.

So.... comment me and give me your suggestions!

Off to Washington!

2008-03-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

So I am almost finished with my order for Kangaroodle (http://www.kangaroodle.com/). These six yummie diaper cakes will be on their way to Washington this week. I will also offer them on http://www.etsy.com/ and on my website, http://www.sewcuteandcrafty.com/ as well. Contact me if you would like to order one before then!
I will be adding cute flowers to them as well as some kind of topper. Check back!

Jeapers Leapers!

2008-03-06T17:00:00.000-08:00

I couldn't resist building this adorable diaper cake with "Leapers" the frog, Ty Pluffie. Using these cute plush animals as cake toppers is one of my favs. They are really easy to make and people love the price! It makes such a unique hospital or shower gift. I ran out of diapers tonight, so I had to put my cake building on hold for a little while. Not sure why I don't just get up and go get more. Probably because I ate 3 (yes 3!) pieces of pizza tonight and feel like I couldn't fit into my car anyway!! :)
Weather update: the smart news guys "warned" us about all the snow we were going to get today... well, we didn't get even a snowflake. The sun was even shining at the end of the day! Goes to show you should never plan a day around the Oklahoma weather men!

My Diaper Cake FEATURED!

Spring Fever

2008-03-06T07:29:00.000-08:00

Last night, after making diaper cakes, I whipped up a few darling Spring bows. I'm selling these as a set for $8. They are on http://www.etsy.com or my website, http://www.sewcuteandcrafty.com

I love SPRING!! I must say that it's not feeling much like Spring here today! The highs today are around 33 and they are expecting some snow!! What in the world? Last weekend I had capris and flip-flops on! That's Oklahoma for you!

Diapers Everywhere!

2008-03-06T06:54:00.000-08:00

Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me? I'm stuck under this huge pile of diapers!!

Last night I spent 4 hours parked on the floor making diaper cakes. I have an order for three 3-tier and three 2-tier cakes for a great lady that is opening up a shop in WA. Her website now is http://www.kangaroodle.com .

So, as I sat and listened to Amanda Overmyer on American Idol sound like a dieing cat... I put my time to good use! As soon as I get my ribbon in, I will finish these masterpieces! Stay tuned!

A little Asian Flair!

2008-03-05T06:56:00.001-08:00

Last night I finished a custom diaper cake made with Asian flair. The lady I did the cake for had a photo of what the baby's room was going to look like, so I had that to go off of. I love creating cakes that are customized like this! This one is 2 tiers and has over 50 size 1 & 2 diapers.
