At the Tippy-top: A Finished Product

September 21st, 2011 @ 7:19 am by Miss Doily

Remember when I showed you guys my mad clay skills? Also remember when I said that the kitties were only the beginning of a bigger project? Well, I finished said project and I think it turned out so good that I just had to show you all. I’ve really been excited to do this because Mr. D gets tired of me squealing over a project time and time again, and I know that you will appreciate the work I have put in. After all, you all understand these milestones that I am hitting and can squeal along with me!

So I took one of these:

And one of these:

Then I got out my trusty paint brushes and some paint, and did up the wood stuff to make it look pretty. After the paint dried, I got out my trusty hot glue gun and started gluing away, until I was left with a completed cake topper. This topper, to be exact:

I am really proud of it. Mr. D really likes it too, which made me really happy. I smile  every time I see it sitting on our bookshelf, which is where it will reside after the wedding as well. I think it’s a great memento that we can keep hanging around well after our day. I can’t wait to see this perched on top of our tower of goodies! Which, as of Saturday, will be only six months away! Eek!

What projects have you completed that you just grin at every time you see them? Are there projects you have completed that have made you realize just how close your big day is?

I love this! Do you have a baker for your cake yet? I wonder if the topper will fit nicely on top of the cake. Perhps it looks bigger in the picture than it really is. If it is large, that just means a bigger tastier cake, though!
