Yesterday mu husband and I , decorated the house with Christmas tree and decorations.. yes I know… it is maybe too soon, but we are two Christmas lovers and we prefer to enjoy it the longest we can…

To enter even more in the magical Christmas athmosphere check out this cute gingerbread house.

The details are so amazing… If you want to see more pictures and also explanations on how to do it, run visit her blog here: Sweetopia

As you probably remember, a while ago I published about some treat boxes I created using one of the icon (the cloud) from the Kawaii collage I bough from Paper Glitter.

The day after we wrote each other because she liked so much the idea and the graphic I used, that she decided to prepare some matching cupcake wrappers to offer on her website. My suggestion is to run visit Paper Glitter’s blog to check the result because not only it is beautiful, but the file is also available for a free download! 

Obviously I was in the sky! Not only she (as in one of my favorite designer and illustrator) is proposing doing something together, but she also named the file after Nabiki.. I was so flattered!….. So, taken by all this happiness, the same evening I ran in the kitchen to try these wrappers and to prepare some cupcakes to go with them as much as possible… this is why, instead of using frosting… 

Marshmallow in a cloud shape with the same face as the original drawing! I also prepared a chocolate versione but in the end I did not use it…

But now for the most funny part…. cupcakes!!!!

I thought that, since the design is so happy, for sure some of the first to benefit will be the children! Therefore I prepare chocolate cupcakes and I decorated them with pink and blue icing in the same color tone of the paper wrapper and on top I put a little cloud.

Paper Glitter’s wrappers were just perfect! The result between design and cupcakes is a great visual effect!

Thank you Paper Glitter! And for you…. well, stay tuned as Paper Glitter and I have another surprise for you in the next days!

In these last days I took back a bit my sewing machine.. unfortunately I am not able to dedicate to this activity as much time as I would like to,but days pass really fast and between my job and Nabiki I really have little time for everything else.

It is my intention in any case to prepare a notebook to keep in time in where I will insert all the small sewing and crafting projects I am (and I will) working on, keeping also and eventually re-drawing all the scheme and patterns necessary to repeat them.. the idea behind is to give this notebook to Nabiki once she will be older just in case she wants to try some of them..

So I bought a nice hard cover notebook and I sew for it a nice fabric cover… maybe in the future I will also add some decoration in the front facade, but for now it is already a step ahead…
