retro crafts!

ok on this post i am going to post pics of past stuff i have done and actually have pics of!

this was my fist venture into chocolate/candy coating. i made these for mothers day (obviously!). this was a personal sized tray for just my husbands mom but i made a GIANT tray for all the other moms at the family get together. these were such a hit im asked to make them for special occasions all the time!

this is an idea that i got from a lady that was on a martha stewart show. it was VERY time consuming and a little expensive!

not really sure where i got this idea from. i know it was a post on craftzine.com or something like that. the orginal idea was just stripes and stuff to make it look abstract or something. i read the post a few weeks before christmas and i came up wit this!

this is a baby blanket that i am making for my uncle joey. im not really sure if im done with it or not. its free hand embroidery. so the back of the blanket is just a MESS so im wondering if i should put a layer of really thin batting and then close it all up with a nice soft piece of fleece or something to match the other fabric. what to do! any opinions?!
