She took a cake decorating course a couple of years ago, and although she hasn't done so in awhile, spent many, many hours watching Cake Boss and other similar shows. She's done a few cakes over the years for friends, who have actually paid her for the effort!

What a nice neighbor you are..we should all try being as kind everyday as you are!! I love the website you provided, although I do not have a heart, I have a big doxie dog, cat, santa and bell. Any of these would be great as they are bigger than normal cookie cutters and I am sure the birds would not mind "eating the cat". LOL!!!

That is indeed super cute. As an alternative to buying one or sewing- get a plain white chair slipcover and glue on or iron on fabric for the back, and felt circles for the burners and such. You can even use fabric paint to write knob controls or a clock face onto it.

That is cute. It would also be a wren nest waiting to happen. I have one of those iron fixtures for 4" candles on my back porch. It has flameless candles with a remote. For the amount we turn them on, I could have flowers in there and not miss them. Cute idea. Don't be surprised if wrens make a nest in one of those. They have used my front door pots, hanging baskets and even check out the candles in that fixture wishing it was a better fit. With plants, I have no doubts I would get a nest.
