I just found out about a cupcake swap being hosted by Red Geranium Cottage and I think there's still time to get in on this. Sounds like fun, fun, fun! I, too, am thinking about doing a swap. Being that it's summer, how about a strawberry theme? Anybody out there interested? If so, leave a comment and I'll arrange it.S.W.A.K.
Just received this purse made my sister, Ellen (one of the Pennington "Material Girls"). I just love the colors! And there are so many compartments inside:) When I visited the Sis Boom event on June 5th, Jennifer Paganelli came up to me and commented on how much she loved this purse (especially the fabric selection)!
Or, perhaps you prefer a little cupcake purse? This one was crocheted by Me for Frannie. It is made from Tahki cotton classic in light green and pink. Just a little more than one skein of each color was used. And if you're going to have a cupcake, you've got to put sprinkles on the top, so Frannie picked out small round beads in her favorite colors that had little sparkles on them. The basic pattern is from an e-book by Hip Chick Crochet called "How To Make A Cupcake Bag". I did a little tweaking of my own by crocheting on two icing ruffles instead of one. I found it easier to do this immediately after completing the green part of the cupcake instead of at the end of the pattern. Extra rows were added between the beaded rows as well as adding on extra rows of single crochet after the eyelet pattern. I also crocheted my own version of a drawstring handle.

Gracious Hospital-i-Tea is having a Tea Party and we're all invited. My favorite tea cup may not be vintage or made from fine china, but I love the cheerful colors and, best of all, it has polka-dots! It is from the Mary Engelbreit collection.
Speaking of tea cups, this lazy susan is always set for a tea party. I decoupaged the top with images of tea cups, plates, spoons and napkins. The napkins are photocopies of vintage handkerchiefs from my collection.
