We've been pretty busy with Etsy orders lately. Although that means less time to work on some projects I've been wanting to create and post about, I cannot be happier. This is exactly the type of work I just love doing. Not only does it keep my creative juices flowing, but it just brings me this wonderful peace- creating things for people who have chosen me to make something for them! Who would have thought!? Seriously, I just love doing this stuff; it's so much fun!!!
I wanted to post a little about these very things that have been keeping us quite busy. Not only to say to everyone "Yes, we're still here..sorry we're not posting so much!"...but to also give you readers- our friends...a more personal blog. You guys are our friends! Why not sit down and have a friendly conversation with ya?
.Order One.
If you're a regular follower of Sweet Lavender Bake Shoppe's blog, you know- I love working with moms! Like I always say, they're some of the most creative ones out there!! Well that being said, one mom contacted me via our Etsy Shop and wanted to know if we'd make our Hello Kitty Inspired Edible Cupcake (or Cake) Toppers...tini sized! Aggg! Ok ok, so I've always said I love a good challenge...this order was no exception! Let me just explain a few things, haha... We almost always create our own stencils for our edible decorations. Anyone can go to the store and find cookie cutters...but we want to make our edible things our own. So with the help of my talented husband, we draw, create, then stencil, hand cut, hand pipe, hand shape and hand paint ALL of our things! The exception? Our "X's and O's"...I couldn't resist a cookie cutter for that!
Anyway, with all that being said, that means we do NOT have little teenie cutters for our Hello Kitty inspired heads...we have a head stencil and a bow stencil we have made. We then cut each and every one out by hand! Our normal heads are about 2" in width, this mom wanted hers to be no bigger than 1.5"! The heads- no problem...the bows...my oh my! The smaller version's bows were no longer than a tic tac and a half! Yeah...let's ponder that for a while.... :)
.Order Two.
We also received an order from another mom on our Etsy for two dozen of our regular Edible Hello Kitty Inspired Bows. I love making these! She is going to use them for such a cute thing- Mickey and Minnie Mouse themed caramel apples! Cute right?? I asked her to send a picture...I hope she does!!
.Order Three.
Lastly, we received an order from a bride on our Etsy asking for us to make a few dozen of our Edible Polka Dots in the colors Red, Yellow, Orange, and Kelly Green to be used on her wedding cake! now that's pretty neat!!! I can't wait to see how that looks!
So, that is a little update on what we've been doing this last week! It's been a busy one, that's for sure! I can't wait to see what's coming up next.
wow, you have been busy. Everything looks great! And I loved the Valentine's stuff you created for me...thanks!
