Sprinkles Delight

It was just a matter of time before it had to happen, but sometimes it still takes me by surprise how fast technology is moving. The first cupcake ATM is here! Now that I have recovered I am installing one in my kitchen.

If you want to see it in action check out the following video.

Unfortunately it's only in LA for now, but I feel it is a matter of time before NYC is hit hard and flirting with the cute guy behind the counter will be a thing of the past. Oh but I can have a cupcake at 2am.. that might make up for it.

Spring Art Class

As the weather is turning it makes me want to be outside ALL the time. Unfortunately (or fortunately, not sure yet) I still have a napping toddler, which gives me time to research ways to bring the outside in. This is a super fun craft I've had my eye on for a long time (and the drift wood in the closet to prove it).

Driftwood monsters!

All you'll need is:

• Driftwood
• Acrylic Paint
• Wood Glue
• Paintbrush

The best part is that you can't go wrong. Any combination will create a unique monster creature just for you!

Shavings Portraits

These are just su fun.. and would make some awesome wall art if framed and enlarged.

Pin it

Remember the pin art everyone seemed to have back in the early 90's? If you don't here is a refresher.

I never got bored of digging my hand in there, it was somewhat therapeutic. Anyway, Pin Art got a make over. Check it out.

Pin Pres by OOO My Design is a shelf for kids, but honestly who can stop from pushing themselves into the pins over and over again? And maybe one or two toys will even make it onto it.

Tattoo That!

Those close to me know that I have a fascination with tattoos. I watch all the shows of strangers getting inked, but I, myself, have only a few. It seems as though I am not the only one to have this fascination though, as I discovered that the tattoo world is expanding into that of home decor. Here are some of the best.

The chair, by tattoo artist Scott Campbell has to be one of my absolute favorites. Unfortunately I don't think it's for sale to the public. The plate is Ed Hardy.

Play with your food

I love design, but when design and food combine (especially chocolate) I am in heaven. Check out these Oreo cookie cameos by artist Judith G. Klausner:

Following are some other 'food pieces' you might like:

 Cereal stitching. Why didn't I think of that? (I can't stitch)

Before you turn away in disgust look twice, that is not mold on the real bread, Judith uses thread to embroider these realistic mold and egg.
