Minecraft Cupcake Toppers

It should be no secret that we love to do custom orders. We especially love seeing our projects in action. 

Last week we got a request to make some Minecraft cake toppers. 

Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a single thing about Minecraft. My other half knows a bit more, and it the one who made this project. 

Please note: We made the bead art, not the cake. 

Our client was kind enough to let us share the pictures of their birthday cake, complete with our toppers and Minecraft-inspired letters. 

This set currently runs for $15*, with additional letters that can be made for approx. $0.50 per letter. 

* Prices subject to change without notice. 

Bubble Guppies Bead Sprites

Some of my favorite things to make are my daughter's favorite tv characters. She's currently in love with Dora the Explorer, Diego, Bubble Guppies, and random Pokemon. 

She was pretty excited when we first pulled out these Bubble Guppies for her to play with one morning. 

The funniest part is one of the first things out of my 2.5 year old's mouth when she saw these was "Where's Mr. Grouper?", which was the first thing the new owner of Gil, Deema, Molly and Bubble Puppy said when his mom gave them to him. Guess we need to make a Mr Grouper soon. 

My only regret is that I didn't get a decent picture of the entire set before we sold 4 of them. 

bit bead: A Great Bead Idea

I'm not exactly sure how they found us, but 'bit bead' found us on Facebook, and I love their idea so much that I had to share. Their idea is basically a kit to make your own phone case art using beads. As an active beader and an iPhone user,  I think it's great. 

Watch the video to get the idea: 

What do you think? Are you as impressed as we were? You can also find bit bead here:

Many Pokemon Bead Sprites

Once upon a time, Pokemon was a tv show. And there was a yellow thing they called Pikachu. That was all I knew. I never would've guessed that in 2013, someone could convince me to play a Pokemon game on DS, but it happened. I definitely would never have believe that I would complete said game. Pokemon Heartgold. 

I even got my own fancy purple 3DS shortly after. And then Pokemon Y for Christmas. We will omit the fact that I've been playing Pokemon Y for about 5 months and still only have 3 gym badges. I think. My fiance would know for sure. He parting words with me everytime he goes to work and I'm home is "Catch some Pokemon." But I never do. 

But we've made quite a few Pokemon bead sprites over the past year. A couple were custom orders. Dragonair was for me, as he was one of my favorites of my first ever Pokemon team. We've made many, many Pikachus. 

Which brings the question.. which Pokemon should we make next? 

It's Time for Burger Love

It's that burger time of year again on our island. PEI Burger Love. I could pretend to be excited about the burgers, but I'm just a plain ketchup & cheese kind of person. It could be worse - my partner in crime doesn't even like cheese on his burgers. But he's a little more open to trying some of these burger than I am. (Call me crazy, but I think my favorite burger in town is from Big Burger. 

Slammer

But with us being two of the pickiest people alive, we don't go as crazy for the burger love burgers as others do. Some, like the 1911 Slammer or The Senator in Chambers or the Zoomboom from Boomburger sound like things I may be able to handle with slight alterations though. 

The Senator

But I absolutely love the idea. It gets people excited for food. It gets people into restaurants they may have never tried before. It promotes our tourism-driven island. Everyone's talking about it. 

Zoomboom

Maybe this will be the year I try one. Who knows. 

Have you tried any? Which is your favorite? And if not, which looks the best to you?
