Let Them Eat Crafts

What kind of weird Universe turning in on itself kind of thing is happening lately.

My two greatest loves (oops besides Alan) are merging into this big blob of creative, crafty, sugary, cuteness…. and I’m just way too obsessed by it all.

I’m talking Crafts and Pastry.

It all started with this thing….

It’s  Cricut.

It’s a Cricut Cake.

It cuts fondant for cakes.  Yep.

(that eloquence there would be my brain in overdrive trying to grasp the coolness of it all)

My teeth hurt just thinking about what I’d do with all those ‘scraps’ of frosting when I was done.

And then I ran across these adorable little Punkins,

( Coraline Cookies from Bakerella)

Peanut Butter BUTTON cookies.  SHUT UP!  And then she drenches them in chocolate… and I turn into a pile of goo on the keyboard.

These have been a favorite for awhile… the craftsmanship is stellar,

(Knit Night Cupcakes from VeganYumYum)

I mean adorable or what?  I don’t think I could eat them adorable…. ok probably just one (or two).

Of course it goes the other way too… lest you wish to save on calories,

(onenonly88)

The chocolate straws are perfect.

(KnitCrochetBBQ)

Mercy.

(TimeToPlay)

Oh mercy mercy me.

After all that you probably need a little of this though…

(pukashell)

Or actually I should probably go for one of these…

(Shoosha)

Now I want carrot cake….

S’cuse me please… if I don’t tear myself away from this post now there will be issues.

Have a good day friends.

Back with less tempting crafts soon… because we stopped eating actual paste in kindergarden.

But if Mod Podge comes out with cream cheese flavored sealer I am telling you it is OVER.
