With the birth of our second child, God and my husband have given me the wonderful opportunity to stay at home with my girls. Giving up a whole other income is definitely challenging but well worth it to enjoy these days with my "lil' blessings." When my first daughter was born I started making hair bows for her and selling them here and there. Over the past few years I've rekindled a passion I've always had for crafty things. In doing so, I decided that passion might be able to supplement our income while still allowing me to be with my girls. So, as I make new items I will post them along with prices (if shipping is needed, there is an additional charge based on current shipping rates). If you find something you'd like to purchase, have custom requests, questions, or comments about items just e-mail me at lilblessings1@windstream.net.

I look forward to hearing from you and making things for your Lil' Blessing!

New order

I have a faithful supporter who purchased two gift sets and a birthday cake. I attempted my first writing job on a cake and think it turned out pretty good.

Buttercream creations

My mother has always been a famous baker (in my book and many others!) and sells specialty cakes like red velvet and Italian cream from time to time. She's always been interested in taking cake decorating classes. So with my new found love of baking I pushed her into taking a class with me and we've had a blast. Here's a picture of my first creation using buttercream icing. Not completely perfect but I was proud of it and it was delicious if I do say so myself! It's a yellow cake with strawberry preserves as a filling, iced and decorated with buttercream icing. I've even had my first order for a birthday cake which I am working on tonight. Who knows, maybe another business endeavor for me! :)


Belated 4th of July celebrating

I'm a few weeks late but wanted to share my 4th of July creation! This was a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing plus a little surprise...
