I’m working on this year’s party for The Boy’s #4 Birthday right now (DRAGONS! Coming Soon!), which got me thinking about last year’s party. For the #3 party, we did a Robot Spaceman theme, and everyone loved it, so I figured some of you might be interested in what we did….
This is a cute party idea, that kids like, and is fun to do. You can seriously go retro with this, and decorate with Tin Robot toys. Or play up the spaceman side of it with stars and outer space decor. Think space, rockets, robots, stars… there are tons of…
New to Dabbled, or haven’t checked in lately? Here’s some old cool stuff you might like to check out!

Good Morning… This friday I present to you a slightly cracked dragon. He’s a little silly isn’t he? Almost Suess-ian my husband thought. (PS- See him in CAKE FORM here!)

As you may have picked up, I’m planning to get the Dabbled/Art shop up and running, all new and spiffy. To give you my fabulous readers a little taste, I’m offering Dabbled readers-only special: a set of 8 postcards with the (reader favorite) “Talisman” piece (The flower sniffing robot shown here, without the copyright watermark of course).
Postcards are professionally printed, approx 4″x6″ with a glossy front–they’ll come packaged in pretty paper if you want to gift…
Today’s guest post is by the very talented Brooke, of So She Sews. I discovered her work on flickr one day (love it!) and I thought her style was such a great twist on the fused plastic trend. And it turns out she’s also an Atlantan, how cool! (Look at this cup holder! Isn’t it neat? You’d never guess that came from grocery bags!) So I asked her if she’d do us the honor of a tutorial.. and she did a great one. I had seen fused plastic bag tutorials before, but not with the thin grocery bags like this.
Hope you…
