After a very nice little vacation to my favourite place on earth...Walt Disney World, I have decide to do a little change to my business. I had made a creative bag for our annual seminar for work, which I took on vacation with me. She was such a hit I decided to make a webpage just for her and start making her friends to sell!! She is such a little beauty!!

Too much to do so little time!!
I have been very busy creating things for an upcoming show and also making new items. My head goes fifty thousand miles per hour and there's not enough hours in the day to get everything in my head done!!
So today I have just some of the ideas that I have been working on. I love how the stilettos are looking these days. They look a lot classier. I also love he new chocolate bar wrappers...those cute little animals are holding shapes made out of chalkboard paper, so the message can be hand written. I do have to admit though I really LOVE he red angry bird!! He is so frinkin' stinkin' cute!!

Creative genius at work!!
My mind has been going like crazy these days!! It has all sorts of ideas for Sweet Illusions going on, plans to do some craft shows, figuring what to put inside the packages, making prototypes, and working the regular job. It's all been really great and things are moving in the right direction!!
Lots of new ideas to share...everything that is while is just my prototype, except for the dress with the tux. The flower pot would be a great centrepiece for any event, the teacup would be a perfect little gift for any Mom for Mother's Day-imagine this little beauty filled with a tea bag and shortbread, or some jelly bellies or chocolates, the baby bootie for a baby shower-with a baby sock filled with mints or other little candies, the birdhouse for mom, dad or even a garden club meeting, the chocolate dipped strawberry is cute enough for any occasion, the chick for Easter and last but not least the wedding couple...perfect for wedding favours!!!

More Sweet Illusions!
I've finally perfected one of my newest creations....a stiletto!! I think this little peep toe stiletto is just the cutest thing!! I have it filled with jelly beans, but I think it'll be a lot cuter with some Jelly Belly's or M & M's that are all the same color.
I have also created some Easter items... A carrot box using an edge punch for the top and an Easter Bunny using goggly eyes, both are filled with jelly beans but the possibilities are endless what you can fill them with!!

Busy times
I've been crazy busy at work..AKA the "real"job...lately, and at home with working on little projects and catching up on my new favorite TV show, Downton Abby. I think I watched all three season in less then three weeks!! I was busy knitting ruffle scarves while watching the show, but pictures of that project will have to wait, since I want to add things to them and they are a surprise for a few friends.
Another thing I have been working on is products for my newest company, Sweet Illusions. It's creative, unique packaging for sweets and other treats!! I have a few ideas done and ready to sell and I have others that I have rejected or is going to be changed and some I like but I need to see if I can cut down on assembly time or it won't be a feasible product. I'm not going to tempt you with what didn't work or with the works in progress.
So besides the chocolate bar wrappers I did for Christmas I now have a shamrock for St. Patrick's Day, a basket for Easter, a purse and a butterfly. I want to be able to sell my items for weddings, bridal and baby showers, parties, luncheons and, of course, holidays.

Being Different...or Being in a State of Disney Mind
Creativity and imagination go hand in hand. I knitted yet another scarf today, which means I've finished two of them this week!! Unfortunately my model(AKA-my dummy or dressmaker's dummy) is at the store modelling a dress!! The other model(AKA-me) didn't feel like modelling them. I'll try and get a picture of them in the morning, since I'm taking them to work with me in the morning and giving my boss a choice of which one she wants.
My imagination was going a little crazy on me this morning while I was making the bed. I had just finished washing and drying the sheet and was making the bed, when I suddenly missed our usual February trip to Walt Disney World, so what do I do..I find some of our towel animals, Mickey and Minnie and a towel Mickey and place them on the bed so it was my little reminder of WDW!!
Of course, Figaro ad to get into the picture and get the big mouse!!!
