About

Hi!  I'm Heather and I'm the owner and artist of Happy Cupcake Creations, a handmade plush toy and custom cross stitch business.  I'm a complete craft and DIY addict.  I like to paint, sew, cross stitch, draw, bake and design.  If I can make it with my hands, I'm there.  I'm also a bit of a gamer nerd.  My husband and I bonded while playing World of Warcraft for hours on end while we were roommates, and before we were dating.  I have a deep love for the N64-era of gaming, especially Zelda games.

I studied baking and pastry arts in college, and have my associates in general studies.  As soon as the kids came, I knew I wanted to stay home with them.  This gave me the best opportunity to take my love of art and share it with the world.

I've been married four years to my husband Josh, who is also my "computer guy".  Together we are currently renovating a late 80's house into a home.  We have a son who is four, and two year old twin girls that I spend my days chasing around the house.  They inspire many of my crafts and projects that I post on here.  We live in Texas with our orange tabby cat, Jazzy, and our other cat, Midna.

My Equipment:

I sew with a Singer 9100 Professional sewing machine that I purchased in March of 2014.

  Prior to that, and in some of my earlier posts, you will see my old Singer 7043 Imperial machine, that decided to go to sewing machine heaven in March 2014.

I also use my Silhouette Portrait in blog posts as well!

My camera was updated in June 2014 to a Nikon D5200.  All posts prior to that used a Canon Rebel T3!

The printer I currently use is a Epson Workforce 7110.

I'd love to get to know some about you, too!  Leave comments or shoot me an e-mail, I'd love to hear from you!
