Hand Painted Candle Tart and Oil Burners

Today I stumbled across these gorgeous hand painted electric tart burners by CandleWacks. They are custom made after you place your order and special requests are welcome by the artist who enjoys creating new designs.

Pictured here is the adorable “Cat Meow” design. I love the country blue trim touch. They have 50 more designs coming soon. Most of their tart burners have a cozy country feel to them and each will be uniquely yours since they’re individually hand painted.

If you get excited about bargains like me, you’ll also want to check out CandleWacks sale page. You can purchase a set of 24 scented votive candles that burn for 8 to 10 hours for $14.40, which is only sixty cents a candle.

CandleWacks also has a fun project page where you can make a hot chocolate candle with their simple instructions. It’s very well made, but I would dye mine a little darker so no one would mistake it for beer.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
