Handmade Silicone Bulbs

Have you ever purchased these adorable bulbs in the stores? Not only are they adorable but they can also get to be a bit costly. You can find them not only in the traditional style, but you may also find them now with color, scent, and shaped!

Well here is a recipe that is amazing! I know that you will love this as much as I have fun making them. Try making your own homemade silicone bulbs. You will become addicted and wonder why you haven't tried these sooner!

These are fun to make and you can buy the silicone at Lowe's ,Home Depot , or any hardware store . Here is what you will need:

*Silicone caulking in the tube ~ (make sure it is 100 percent silicone)
Gloves (the disposable kind you find at the pharmacy like what your Dr. uses works perfectly!)
*An empty container for the silicone ~ (You can buy cheap storage bowls at the dollar store as you want to make sure that you cover the silicone when not in use. You can save it with a lid.)
*5 watt bulbs or any any stringed lights
*Ventilation ~ Silicone does have fumes !!

Make sure you have enough silicone in your tub to completely cover the glass part of your bulb . If not sure measure the bulbs to your container .

Tie a string to the metal end of the bulb for hanging to dry.

Pour your silicone into your container and tap it down. Do not stir as you will get air bubbles in it and your lights will have them also.

Dip your bulb slowly into the silicone and slowly pull back out as this is how it gets its tail . You can also swirl these , add color , and scent.

That's it! How much more simple can you get?!? I love making the silicone bulbs on my strands of lights. It reminds me having little candlesticks, and looks amazing on my Christmas tree, swags, wreaths, and more!

Now it's your turn to try them and tell me what you think! I would love to see your finished projects!

Sweet Art Sweets

As many of you know I have been on a journey through Etsy to find Amazing shops by Incredibly Talented Artists. Today on my journey I came across Sweet Art Sweets bake shop.

Let me tell you, my mouth watered and my tummy rumbled while trying to resist the temptation! But who could resist such amazing sweets? This was a shop I just knew I had to learn more about. So I contacted the very talented owner; Elizabeth Walsh. I asked her to share with me more about herself, her shop, and how she started, and this is what she had to say;

"I have been interested in baking for as long as I can remember. My mother and grandmother are my inspirations. I can think back to sitting on a stool in my grandmother's kitchen watching her bake. She always baked the prettiest, tastiest cookies for Christmas. I can also remember sitting on the counter in our family's kitchen, watching my mom prepare baklava, layer after layer of fillo dough and butter, intently watching her precision with each step. I've baked lots of trays of baklava, but mine never taste (or look!) as good as hers. She truly is a master chef in my eyes - the best of the best!

I began baking in my teens - cakes here and there for friends and family. The first two tiered cake I made was for my sister's engagement party. It was a replica of a Hawaiian themed Colette Peters' cake. I had purchased a Colette Peters' book and poured over that thing until it fell apart!

I am self-taught; I've never taken a cake or cookie decorating class. I do have a degree in art, so that helps a little. The very first cookie I ever decorated was about 10 months ago - I wanted to make butterfly cookies for my daughter's first birthday party. I googled "butterfly cookies"... and up popped Sweetopia's website, www.sweetopia.net. I was hooked. I poured over her site, learning everything I could. I was like, "I can totally do this!" BUT.. it was harder than I thought! So I practiced like crazy, and to date I've probably made a couple thousand cookies... getting better with each one!

I realized this was something I absolutely could not live without - and then I realized people actually wanted to buy my products! I had just recently become a stay at home mom to my 2 wonderful children, so I thought this would be the perfect way for me to earn some extra money. I came up with the name SweetArt Sweets because I wanted a product that not only tasted amazing, but looked amazing as well! I wanted my products to be like edible art. I started selling to friends, then to friends of friends, and I now have so many wonderful customers. I bake every day, into the wee hours of the night sometimes because it is only me doing the promoting, selling, networking, baking, decorating, and packaging, and shipping. When I first started selling my products, my husband (Mr. SweetArt Sweets) told me that he would support me all the way. And he has - 1,000 percent!!! I couldn't do it without him. At this time, I work in my home bakery - in consistence with Florida's Cottage Food Law - but my dream is to one day open up a storefront bakery."

Now trust me grab a nice hot latte or a cold glass of milk and just even try to resist the temptation! Trust me, you will not be able!

Whooooo wants cookies??? I do! These cute little owls will make your day with their adorable expressions.

Each cookie is about 3.25" across and will be individually wrapped and heat sealed. This listing is for 6 cookies, but larger orders are also available.

You will get an assortment of yellow, orange, and blue owls or you can choose one of those colors for your entire order. Please let me know your request in notes to seller. They will stay fresh for 4 weeks and can be frozen in their original packaging for up to 3 months.

I love any type of butterfly, but I think monarch butterflies are especially beautiful. These were inspired by a gorgeous monarch butterfly pattern that I stumbled upon. I first draw with edible marker on each cookie and then go back in and fill with royal icing - almost like I'm painting.

You will receive 6 butterflies for this listing. Each one will come individually heat sealed and tied with decorative ribbon. They will stay fresh for 4 weeks and can be frozen in their original packaging for up to 3 months. These cookies are not only beautiful but extremely tasty as well!

I am an artist through and through, and I love to paint on canvas... so why not paint on a cookie? These hummingbird cookies are delicately painted with luster dust and gel colors to achieve a beautiful picture that is completely edible.

These delicious, soft sugar cookies are approximately 4.75" across. The cookies are covered in my homemade marshmallow fondant and then painted. For those who don't care for the somewhat crunchy royal icing, the soft, smooth consistency of fondant is the perfect alternative.

I individually wrap and heat-seal each cookie and tie with a matching ribbon. The cookies will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks, but you can also freeze for up to 3 months. I have had rave reviews about how yummy these cookies are, and also that they are just as good after being in the freezer as when the customer first received them.

The images that you see here can be ordered or I can do a different hummingbird image for you altogether. You choose the images that you would like. This listing is for 6 cookies, so you choose if you would like one image or six different images. Or if you would like a larger order, please convo me and I will do my best to accommodate you!

These make great gifts!!!

I don't know about you, but I love coffee! And what better accent to your morning coffee than a cookie that looks like your cup of coffee?! These soft sugar cookies will melt in your mouth.

12 pink coffee cookies come with this listing. The cookies come beautifully packaged, individually heat sealed, and tied with a matching ribbon. The cookies will stay fresh for 4 weeks and can be frozen in their original packaging for up to 3 months. I can also do a custom order with the other coffee cookies that you see pictured, so please convo me with your request along with any questions you have. These cookies would be a nice gift for any coffee lover.

These hippos are too cute, you'll just have to eat them!

These cookies would be adorable as favors for any party. They can be made into any animal, such as elephants, lions, zebras... you name it and I'll do my best to make it happen for you.

Cookies come individually packaged, heat sealed, and tied with a decorative ribbon. They will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks and can also be frozen in their original packaging for up to 3 months. Larger orders are available; please convo me and let me know your request! Gift cards can be included at no additional charge.

If you have never tried cookies from SweetArt Sweets, this is the perfect way to sample! Not only are they adorable, but they are tasty too. These are soft sugar cookies covered in royal icing.

Ladybug sampler comes with 2 dozen ladybug/flower cookies.
Cookie size is approximately 1.25"
Please specify which sampler you would like in notes to seller.

Have a different design in mind? Convo me and I'll be happy to make a custom listing for you!

Summer Time Key Lime Pie

Key lime pie takes its name from the type of lime it is made with, the Key lime, which grows in the Florida Keys. The Key lime has a mild, delicate fragrance, and the flavor is sweeter and more tart than that of the commonly found dark green, seedless Persian lime. Condensed milk and a graham-cracker crust are also common to the Key lime pie, which has remained essentially unchanged over the years. Look for brightly colored, smooth-skinned limes that are heavy for their size. Small brown areas on the skin won't affect flavor or succulence, but a hard or shriveled skin will. You'll know the pie is done when the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged. Before serving, chill the pie in the freezer for 10 minutes; this will make slicing easier.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
5 tablespoons sugar
1 can (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup freshly squeezed key-lime juice
1 tablespoon grated Key lime zest, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
Directions
1.Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.

2.Lower oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice, and zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.

3.Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

4.Shortly before serving, combine cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie; garnish with zest. Serve immediately.

True Treats Pet Bakery

I am always shopping online! Especially for both of my girls (my 6 year old 2 legged daughter Isabella, and my 4 legged daughter Magee!) While shopping for my little Magee, I came across this amazing Etsy shop that makes all natural pet treats! Her items are absolutely amazing and I wanted to share both her story and shop with you!!

When I approached Kristan about her Etsy shop and asked her about how she decided to get started in her business, this is what she said;

"At 40 years old, I made it my goal in life to improve the health of my pets and yours. Our family consists of 3 kitties: Meuski, Spartan and Olivia and one doggie named Ruse. They are the light of my life and their health is so important to me. I want them to be with me for as long as possible. I could never imagine feeding them food and treats from the grocery store! Have you read the labels on the brands your local grocery carries??

True Treats Dog Bakery (formerly Rockin Doggie Dog Treats) opened in 2009 with the idea of having a small business making dog treats. I sure fell in love with doing this! In 2010, True Treats Dog Bakery participated in 48 "shows" including pet fundraisers, farmers markets, community fairs and festivals, etc. It was a very busy year and I learned so much about my customers and the NEED for very specific dog and cat treat products. Things have grown dramatically over these two years and I believe our products are some of the best on the market. I hope you do too.

What makes me qualified, you ask? Well, about 8 years ago, I suffered from such severe food allergies that it got to the point where I could only eat plain oatmeal. Eventually, that too was a problem. One day, I learned of an allergy elimination technique called Bioset that sounded like it could help me, and it did. I was treated for a year with amazing results. I felt that I had to study this practice and joined up with the founder of Bioset where I trained extensively to master the healing powers of Bioset. In this venture, I learned so much about how and why we have allergies and my focus was to study how illnesses are related to allergies, especially food. Our pets have similar food and allergy connections. This is where the two came together for me.

Through the course of the past 8 years, I combined my love of animals, nutrition, and health with the wisdom I obtained while practicing these allergy elimination techniques.

True Treats products are fresh, pure, wholesome, healthy, and balanced. You will find a large variety of items in my shop here on Abe's. I hope you find something that fits perfectly with your pet."

Here are some of Kristans amazing items, I hope that you take a look, visit her shop, and show her some LOVE!

Grannys Craft Attic

As many of you know I sell my products not only on my own .com web site, but also on Etsy. Have you ever shopped on Etsy? All I can say is if you have not, you do not know what you are missing! There are so many amazing items to be found, and talented crafters/ artists to go along with! With that being said, I decided that I wanted to share the stories of some of these AMAZING people and their shops.

This first talented artist, I met in a treasury, and I have to say is an absolute gem! So please, get a cup of coffee, sit back, read about her, browse her shop, and let her know what you think! Show her some LOVE!

What inspired Judi to begin crafting?
Judi has been doing some sort of craft for longer than she can remember, and has always wanted to have an outlet where she could sell those items. Judi continued to say, "since I am now retired and my girls each have their own lives, when opportunity knocked, I opened the door."

Judi's daughter's friend told her about Etsy, where she first started out with an Etsy shop named Smart N Sassy Sayings, making little hanging pillows with outrageous sayings on them....a throw back from her NY upbringing. When her older daughter was pregnant with her third child, she revisited crocheting, and started adding crocheted items to the Etsy shop. Since the crocheted items did not fit the previous shop name, she decided to open Granny's Craft Attic.

Judi LOVES thinking out of the box, and when she finds a pattern for an out-of-the-ordinary item, she just has to have it and make the item....like the Couch Tissue Box Cover or the Miss Lizzy Tish TP Cover. Judi also says she loves patterns where the stitches form a picture. One such item is the Colorful Kittens Afghan she made for her Etsy shop; it sold within a week of being listed!

Judi believes that excellent customer service is the most important thing, with 90% of her business being the interaction with a customer. She will work with a customer as long as it takes to make sure they get what they want, and LOVES when a customer requests a special item, or an existing item in a different color, or size.

Here are some of Judi's wonderful finds that you can find in her shop:
http://www.etsy.com/people/grannyscraftattic


SANTA CLAUS GIFT CARD HOLDER
What do you give to the person who has everything? A gift card of course....and here is a Gift Card Holder with Santa Claus ‘watching’ you. Use it to insert money or a gift card. Made with plastic canvas, acrylic yarn, wiggle eyes and a dab of glue, it measures 3" x 4 1/4". I am really jazzed at how this turned out!

If you would like to hang this on your Christmas tree, let me know and I will add a metallic thread hanger.
Need more than one? Please convo me for volume pricing.
The Joann gift card is NOT included


PEEK-A-BOO PASTEL BABY AFGHAN - PINK
This beautiful afghan will envelope your little sweetie in clouds of softness....she will be floating on air while snuggled in white, pink and multicolor stripes. I have made a scalloped edging.

The afghan measures approximately 38" x 41".
Machine wash/dry at low temperatures.


COLORFUL KITTENS (this is an already sold afghan but will be happy to make it if requested, and in whatever color scheme the customer wants)

What a great combination....babies and kittens!

If you look closely, you will see rows of little kittens....all in different colors: pink, yellow, blue, green, lavender and white. The stitch configuration turns the yarn into little kittens. I crocheted this lovely afghan with a very soft baby yarn. The dimensions are approximately 35" x 35". This afghan is machine washable/dryable on low.


COUCH TISSUE BOX COVER - MADE TO ORDER
Every table needs a couch on it...lol....so here is a couch to put on your table and cover a box of tissues at the same time. This whimsical tissue box cover will fit a box of tissues measuring 3 1/2" deep x 4 1/2" wide x 9 1/4" long. The back and arms of the couch are stuffed with fiberfill for that 'comfortable' look. The round pillows each have a crocheted flower applique, fiberfill inside and are sewn on to the couch. This item is a MUST for your home!

*****This item is made to order.*****

I can do this in any color that will fit your decor, and can even make different types of pillows, as you can see from the pictures of the couch. Please convo me with your color/pillow type preference.
The box of tissues IS NOT included.


MISS LIZZY TISH TP COVER- MADE TO ORDER
Hey there you Red Hat ladies (and non-Red Hat Ladies too)...here's a really cute item to spruce up your bathroom... This little cutie wears a ruffled bottom dress, with a ruffle at the neckline and on the sleeves. She's all dolled up with her pearls and of course her red hat has a purple feather, pearls and a crocheted flower. One picture was taken by a very satisfied customer, who emailed it to me and is allowing me to use it.

*******THIS ITEM IS MADE TO ORDER*******

Now some of you may like the idea of this but not the colors....so if you would like it in another color combo, please let me know and I will be happy to make it up for you. Those who prefer another color I ask for prepayment because I do not have all colors of yarn and feathers on hand and would need to get in touch with my supplier. I figure I would need 10 days to have supplier send me materials, 2-3 days to make the item for you, and shipping to you takes about 3 days.

This tp topper is approximately 10" high and will fit a standard TP roll. The roll of tp is NOT INCLUDED. ***This item is shipped Priority Mail Flat Rate so you will receive it within 3 business days.*** I know the shipping fee is pricey but in order to not squash the hat this is how I have to ship it.


So now that you have met this talented Etsy Seller, Visit her Shop, Look around, and show her some Love!
