I love cupcakes! Real or not, I just love them. They are so cheery and colourful, just the kind of things I like to have around me! So here are the crafty things I said I would try my hand at over the weekend. Do you remember a while back I bought some cupcake fabric? Well my very clever and talented daughter, Precious Princess, hopped on her Nana's sewing machine and together they made me a table cloth from the fabric! Then over the weekend I had a crack at it and made a couple of cushions from the same fabric. The cushions are for my kitchen lounge chair, and the table cloth is for my little afternoon tea table by the window that over looks the drive. I had to handsew them though because I don't own, nor do I know how to use, a sewing machine, but I do quite enjoy the art of handsewing so I found these really fun and relaxing to make. So what do you all think? Be gentle now ok, I'm fragile! lol When my Mum came over to join us for pizza dinner the other night, she brought over a box of cupcake tissues that she found and couldn't resist buying for me when she did her groceries. Isn't she just a sweetie! Then while I was out shopping yesterday (buying Princess a new bed for her bedroom redo!) I came across these little cupcake beauty products, a lip gloss and butter cream hand lotion. How adorable are these I ask you?! So with all of my cupcake love going on, I am one happy little cupcake myself! lol So there you go.......my cupcake madness. Please feel free to roll your eyes and be a little frightened. I know I am. Mawhahahahaaaaaaaa heheh. Love Cupcake xxx

Hello cupccake, This is all too cute. I would be grinning from ear to ear when I walked into that room. Love it! Susan
I'm there with you, I love cupcakes. I'm don't have too much of a sweet tooth, but I just love looking at pretty cupcakes.
I do believe it's a girl thing, don't you?
That tablecloth and those pillow covers look good enough to nibble on! You girls did a terrific job! You inspired me to break out my needle and thread and make some pillow covers, seriously! Your house is such a charmer. I'll be stopping by for a cupcake and a cup of Joe if you have the time....wouldn't that just be so much fun!
"The Cupcake Contessa" -- I love it! Good on you, Amanda. :)

Cupcake Contessa....how sweet that sounds, Rosie!
Yes, Amanda, you, PP and your mom all did GOOD !
hugs, bj
GASP!!!
Your mother did NOT find that cupcake tissue box! (California slang for I can't even believe how cool that is!)
And yes, the table cloth is very nice, but the pillow cases!!!
Let me tell you what I crazy love about those pillow cases: You left the bottoms OPEN!!! YOU TIE THEM SHUT WITH RIBBONS!!! How clever is that!?!?! I NEVER NEVER NEVER but NEVER would have thought of it. But now ... I am going to steal your idea IMMEDIATELY ... if you give me permission.
And a different color for the front and the back. CLEVER! I wouldn't have thought of that either.
You know ... pillows sell very well at our antique stores. I bet you could do a brisk business if you wanted to making adorable pillows.
Good job, Cupcake Contessa!!!
Very very good.
I love them.
You've done a beautiful job Amanda, we all love cup cakes oh yes indeedy!! I cant believe you hand stitched those lovely cushions, I would never have the patience :0) I think you will be buying yourself a sewing machine before long!

Hi Amanda,

omg i love them!!!! I love cupcakes, and i love the smell of them, especially vanilla. When I was working full time i always wore a vanilla essential oil...everyone called me cupcake because they said i smelled like cupcakes baking LOL!
Cupcakes are so cheerful whether baked or sewn. Love the center piece on your table. Hope you are having a good week.

Hi Cupcake Amanda, it all turned out well, the tablecloths, the cupcake finds and the covers which are so, so adorable. I've been looking for an alternative for cushions and the covers seem like a great idea.
Lots of Love,
Dy
Great cupcakes, especially the cushions and the little lipgloss tin. I'm happy to have found your very cheerful blog.
That is so cute. I love your cupcakes.
