Sew Funky Market Guest Blogger: Lil Cupcake

Hi, I’m Crystal from  the lil’ cupcake

I’m so excited to be a vendor at the upcoming

Spring 2012 Sew Funky Market.

I opened the lil’ cupcake in February 2010

and shortly there after opened my boys store, 

lil’ twinkle star.

I LOVE crafting and most of all creating unique handmade items for lil’ ones.

I often get asked, “Why did you name your shop, the lil’ cupcake? You don’t sell cupcakes.”

The very first product that I created and posted in my ETSY shop was

 a bling binky and I had this idea of how I wanted to package all my bling binkies.

It HAD to be in a cupcake sleeve with fun stuffing and the whole works!

I found an amazing graphic designer who helped me create the perfect logo and the rest is history!

Since my first ‘Cupcake: Binky,’ my creative, constant-thinking,

never resting mind has been busy creating new items.

Items that I currently sell and make:

Tutu’s, Bling Binky’s, Bling Onesies, Hair Accessories, lil’ leggies leg warmers,

Custom Piggy Banks, Bling Converse, Burpies, Bibs, Blankies,

Tee Pee Pee Pee’s, Pacifier Clips and LOTS MORE!

You may not know this, BUT…

I have NO Children of my own

(I’m a PROUD God-Mother though)
