More time= more projects

If I had to choose between cleaning my house during nap time and creating a fun diaper cake, the diaper cake wins every time. Ahhh, I'm not sure my husband agrees with that decision, but such is life. Here are a few projects I've been working on; some are still in the process.

Sleeping Beauty. Love how she cuddles with her teddy. These can even be made to sit up.  

Kitty in pink. This version is a bit smaller than some I've made. I love how you can make these to fit anyone, but adding personal touches, like their chosen colors, preferred bottles, monogramming bibs, hair accessories etc, or they can be kept super simple (and inexpensive)

Sweet Pea. This is one of those projects that is a work in progress. I like using socks (or hand mittens) to cover the diapers to make the peas. The butterfly needs some intervention and that's supposed to be a rose on top :) I think it can be super cute when I figure it out.

Well, my daughter is now up and cleaning her room is next on the agenda. Until next naptime; bye for now.

And they keep coming...

I wanted to post a few more "creations" that are sitting up on their new shelf, waiting for a home :) I'm working on a few new ideas so hopefully they will come together in the next few weeks. Right now I'm totally loving "girly, girl" gifts; especially with the headgear. My baby girl had so little hair so we tried and tried to put things on her head to keep people from thinking she was a boy. There is so many more options now, even a few years later. I'm really trying hard to make the gifts to be purposeful and not just add "stuff" to them. It's fun coming up with my own ideas, like play keys added to the trikes and loveys as the blankets on the bassinets. The more I play, the more fun it is. Feel free to contact me if you see a creation you like or have an idea of your own that you'd like to see come to life.

This one I'm planning to put in a cake box and mail to a friend. The headband and flower clip are pre-made from Hobby Lobby (you can find me in there every Sat ), but I'm trying to figure out how to make them myself to cut down on some of the cost. There might even be a surprise found inside :) 

The one is a little different, instead of a lovey, the covering is a onesie and cute monkey is handing out on top. It needs something at the back so I'm scouting the stores to find the perfect accessory for the lil guy.

Did I mention how much I'm loving these bassinets?? The back needs a different top to make it look tighter, but otherwise, it's a nice gift for a baby girl. I've seen several of these with wheels to make into a carriage. I'm sure it wouldn't be much harder, just more diapers, etc. So many options...

This trike is becoming one of my favorites. I keep adding stuff and changing things to give it different looks. I love the puppy with bows for a sweet look.

This fun bear is ready for a night on the town! Looks like she's turning a curve fast with the tire crooked :) (I'm obviously still working on my picture taking/ set up). She's a cool girl with her flower headband and her "rock" on the ring (aka paci).  I love it, and I hope you do too!

Some new/ some revised cakes

I've been having so much fun with new creations and revising some previous creations that needed some work.   I'm so excited to have some interest in baby girl's cakes so I have gone a little overboard in new ribbons and pink items.

Sweet Butterflies for a sweet baby girl

LOVE the headband Miss Bear is sportin'! I had to improvise on the tutu, so it doesn't look as awesome as I expected, but still a cute idea.

This is a mini-bassinet and much improved over my previous models! I think a monogrammed lovey would be perfect for a special gift.

I discovered these on-line and think they are adorable. Can't wait to top some cakes with these fun candy additions or throw in a bowl for a table decoration :)

Just for fun

I have several I've made from ideas I've seen or thought of using something I already have. Some are very basic with just ribbon and maybe a small accessory and some more elaborate with lots of goodies. Anything can be modified to fit the giftee.

Love this! Wish I had a baby girl on the way to give it to.

 The bassinet is super sweet and so many goodies for the baby. They are a wee bit complicated to make but worth the effort! 
Ahhh, Pooh. How cute are you??

Simple, yet fun. This top has a onesie "flower blooming". So much cuter than giving the mommy-to-be a "bag of diapers"

This one is sweet and easy too. Just a lovey hugging the cake. A suprise would be easy to hide inside.

I love these sweet mini-cakes. How cute to have on tables at a baby-shower for centerpieces! So much can be done with these beauties. Toppers are easy to make with washcloths, socks, onesies, etc. Be creative.

Let me know if you see something you want. I would love to find homes for my creations (and so would my husband since they are now taking up his office).

Lovin' the trikes

A friend wanted to know how to make a diaper cake for a co-worker so I offered to make if for her. She chose a trike for a boy so here's what we ended up with. 

I found some clearance Nuk's and thought it looked cute as a "dog tag" on this biker pup. I'm having too much fun with these. I got some more blankets with a coupon and made a bike with a zoo animal theme. I really like the onesie on the giraffe, but think a smaller size would be much better.

I was able to get the Huggies blue jean diapers online as an awesome deal and think they look good for the tires.
