OMgoodness !! I love this!!

I just love my new knitting machine!!



See how easy it is to make baby hats for fun or to sell. OMGoodness!!!!... I love this device...This is an awesome product. And just to let you know , no I did not get the product for free to review it. I just wanted you my subscribers and viewers to know that. The Addi Express Knitting Machine is well worth the price! I know how to knit and crochet a little bit, and have always wanted to make those cute, adorable hats that you see children wear, but my skills are not that great. And my hand cramps up after too much crocheting...painfully so... WIth this machine you can crank out lots of baby hats in an evening. I took the extra step to decorate them as well. I have checked prices in the store for baby hats and prices range from $8 and up. If you sell 20 or 30 hats you will make back your money on this machine in no time at all.
Here is a great link to how to use the machine and where to buy it...Be sure to tell the folks at paradise fibers.net that you were referred by me.. maybe they will send me a free box of yarn :)

This video shows you how to start http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQdd0USeFUU
And this video show you how to get the yarn off the device.

Cake Pops

OMG....who thought of this!! :) a machine that makes little hot bites of cake!!!





After having a burning desire to make cake pops, I did! I bought a cake pop make from a big box store and the cake balls were too small...sooooooo... I took it back and researched for a better one. Finally found a better one the BABYCAKES cake POP Maker and they came out great! Here are some pics of my cake pops and a link to where you can get a groovy cake pop maker.



Some Quick Tips!
I did not use any cooking spray or oil in my cakepop maker!
I used store bought cake mix
Don't overfill the pan
Try not to eat them all before you get them frosted.

SugarPlumDolls.com now on Artfire!

I'm excited to let you know about my new online store here at Artfire.com, http://www.artfire.com/users/clothespindolls where I'm able to offer great products, prices and service. To celebrate my grand opening, I invite you to visit and look around. All the dolls that you see pictured are available for purchase immediately, and will ship to you when your order is placed.All dolls measure approx. 4.5" high and are made from a wooden clothespin, head and stand which have been painted with non-toxic acrylic paint . Most of their clothing is not removable. Most of their arms are can be repositioned if you like. All dolls are handmade by me in a smoke-free environment. They are all beautiful little clothespin dolls.It takes about 2 to 3 days to make each doll. Each doll has her own personality. No two dolls are alike, some dolls may be similar but because of the handmade process each doll is unique. Some dolls may have slight imperfections in the wood, but aren't we all a little less than perfect! By email: sugarplumdolls@gmail
