Cutest Wedding Cake Topper!

I just made this adorable wedding cake topper for a couple on Etsy who are getting married next winter. A crab with a fargo hat holding a heart sign on a wooden stick sitting on a turtle wearing a touque with a pom-pom! I am so in love with it. The little touques are too much, they make me melt, and the little heart sign, man oh man. This will be one great wedding cake. You can feel the love!!




If you would like me (Heather Bays) to make you a custom cake topper, please email me at heatherbays@gmail.com OR come to etsy and see my custom cake topper listing for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, showers, or a cake for any old day!

Felted Soaps, oh YES!

Felted soaps are basically a bar of soap wearing a wool sweater. They are handmade by me (Heather Bays) using a wet felting/soap felting technique. These ones here were each made with a 120g bar of Olay Body Ultra Moisture soaps either in Vanilla Indulgence or Shea Butter. They smell yuuuummmmy!

Felted soaps are softer and more luxurious than using a cloth or loofah. They work up such a rich silky lather and as you wash it gently exfoliates your skin! Plus you won't have to deal with the end bits of soap that are slippery and hard to hold and usually end up slipping down the drain, and are wasted. As the bar of soap shrinks, so does the wool! In the end, you're left with a little wool scrubby.

If you are interested in trying some felted soaps just email me heatherbays@gmail.com or check out my online store for availability!
