This weekend was one of those weekends. Everything was so busy it did not seem like much of a weekend at all. I had special orders, my nieces birthday and the cake above. Not to mention a toddler who did not want me to sleep a wink last night. I guess the saying goes all is well that ends well. Now I am off to make more cupcake beads for my Etsy store. The weather here is nice, but a cold front is suppose to come in later this week. So I have to make haste and do what I can before the garage it too cold. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Cheers Rachel

Coming soon to the Sugar Toppers store cupcake pendants and necklaces. I have a few more supplies coming in the mail but once they are here these will be up for sale with and without sterling silver ball chains.

Good Witch

As a child my mom always made our costumes. She would probably disown me from the family if I went to the store and bought one. Nothing against people who do of course but its just a family tradition. This year is a big year for my daughter she got to pick what she wanted to be for Halloween she said a few things a few different times but what she ended up sticking with was a good witch. I have decided to ban the bad witches for a few more years so it's a good thing she is asking to be a good one. It was very sweet she asked Mam-ma are you going to be a Good Witch too? and then she asked her dad Dad-da are you going to be a Good Witch? I have always been a procrastinator so this weekend I will be wrapping up the costume. I have already made and remade the pink skirt with yards and yards of pink tulle. I just need a top and probably a shall just in case it's cold. Wish me luck.

Exciting Week for Sugar Toppers

This week has been exciting. Sugar Toppers has been on two different blogs Earthenwood Studios and Cupcakes take the Cake. Call me lazy but a lot of time when I go to my blog I just go to Google and type in sugar toppers then find a post and log in from there. So while at work today it was a complete surprise to see a post about my Sugar Toppers on Cupcakes Take the Cake. Thank you very much ladies for making my day. In addition I got beads in the mail yesterday and today. Words can not express how cool the ceramic beads over at Earthenwood Studios are. Melanie snuck in some sweet cupcake beads and the coolest little ceramic air freshener with my Halloween stash. I adore them all. So all you cupcake lovers run don't walk to her site and check out her line of snack beads. I will have to post pictures later this week. Tonight I would like to draw your attention to the lovely photo on the left soon to be the next topper addition to my Etsy store.

Lucky be a Lady

It turns out I have had quite the string of luck lately. And let me tell you I rarely win anything. I won a pair of Halloween earrings from Melissa Lee, last months Art Bead Scene challenge and now this lovely stash of beads from the super talented Melanie of Earthenwood Studios. She is an amazingly talented ceramic bead artist. I can not tell you how long I have lusted after her cute little beads. You can check out her on line store here. http://www.earthenwoodstudio.com
