Curley's Crafts and Creations

I have a bunch of stuff I have done this week and listed for selling. Check the right side for the stuff. Any questions let me know.

So I feel like I am doing great as it is Wed and I already have a bunch of stuff done and listed some for selling. I need to finish listing but as it is 12:30am and Aleana is finally down I will do it in the morning when I get up. Check the right side bar for the stuff I have listed and watch for more to come :)

I have this week to try to get some of MY stuff done. Next week I picked up another wedding cake and am also "catering" the reception. So I will just be working on that next week. I am also helping my sister Nicole get ready for her wedding. We have until the end of May to get a few things done. Luckily we are finding stuff and will be able to do what she wants.
I will be trying my hardest to get some of my stuff done and posting about it later.

So this is what I have been working on ALL week.

The Bride LOVED it and overall it was not that bad to make. Pretty well everyone that knew I made it had nothing but good to say about it. I have at least one more this year, in May, that I know. I might have one in April and there might be one in June. Whatever I do I will post about.

This is a Invite to a party. Fairly simple yet really fun. The information would be on back. I have not put it on there yet. And even if I had would not show since it is a surprise party for a certain person, and don't want this person to know about it. :)
To make it I just took black cardstock and cut it 6"x6", then took the patterened circle cardstock and cut it 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" and used glue dots to put on the black. Then I used my cricut and cut out the "It's a party" I used the Alphalicious cartridge for anywho might want to know. I have a really cool machine the Xyron create-a-sticker I ran the words through to make it easier to put on the green 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" paper. I then ran the green paper through the sticker maker. I then put it on the circle paper. I put the green paper on a little different on each invite just cause. Running the letters through the sticker maker was SO much easier than trying to use glue dots, double stick tape or even glue/glue stick.

Know for some of you who know me I sculpt. Here is a few things I have been working on for selling. Most are NOT done and are works in progress. I just thought I would show what I have been working on, and next week I will be working on a wedding cake ALL week. So I figured I would show I do something.
These heads I am hoping to make into Leprachan pins. They will just have a hat on.

These heads are about 3/4"

These are fairies. They still need hair and if you notice the one is holding a very small baby (which I also made) The will also have wings and the bigger one will be holding something, I just have not decided what yet.

Just a little info the smaller fairy is from tip of toes to top of head, 3" and the bigger one is 5". The baby is about 3/4".

These are just a few random heads I have made. If you notice there is a penny next to them.

This head is about 1 1/2 "


This head is about 1"

This head is about 3/4"
It usually takes about 3 to 5 hours per head. Mainly because of the detail. I can do simpler ones and do at times. Occasionally I just want more detailed. I am not sure what they will be doing yet.
IF anyone has thoughts on what they can be doing I would be up to input.
Once I am totally done they will be sold on quiltedbear.com. When this happens I will post here too about it.

My Grandma Walker made Dallin a quilt when he was born. That thing goes EVERYWHERE with him. He love it. I am glad he has something that helps when he needs comfort. He is also really funny about it. He will take the corners and rub and play with them. He has his favorite corner even. Don't ask me how he knows which corner is which. I have tried giving him different corners but he always changes to the "favorite". Well the other day I found him asleep what did I notice? The one corner is totally ripped. So I stole it from him. I then tried to hide it from him. He found it. So I just decided to fix it. I did that by just zig zagging where it had ripped. He was so glad when I fixed it and gave it back.
I did make him a new quilt with Cars on it. I tried to give him this one, but it just would not work. He had to have the quilt from Grandma Walker. I hope that he does not ruin it, but at least it is getting used. I am going to try to talk to her to see what she recommends we do to do a more permanent fix.
Thanks Grandma for the great quilt that is loved and used!

I have been really wanting to make a Topsy Turvy cake, also known as Mad Hatter. I had an chance to do just that for my grandmothers birthday. (We always get together as the whole family for Grandpa and Grandma Walkers birthday)
Let me tell you. Even with instructions from people who have made them, I still had problems. I am definately going to have to try again to see if I can perfect it, and I won't be making them for anyone and accepting money any time soon.
Transporting is also a pain. Not sure what to do about that either.
Here is the picture....


After we arrived the cake fell...I did not get pictures. I am not sure what happened. I will have to evaluate the cake and try again another time. Luckily I have a few opportunities coming up, Saedy's birthday is at the end of the month, then there is my mom's, mine, and I am sure I can come up with more if I need to. I also thought about just doing it with rice krispies. We will see what happens.
