Another Few Days...

Recuperating……can't wait to get back to creating and blogging.  Miss it terribly.

Away For A Tiny Bit

Ugh!  I will be off for a little bit recuperating from foot/ankle surgery.  I thought I would be so efficient and do lots of pre-posts, but with the holidays fast approaching, I didn't get anything done.  I will be back in a few.

Patinas & Holiday Sparkle

 I used VerDay Paints to create a rich patina on these gift boxes.  Some bits of leather and some vintage brooches gave them some sparkle for the holidays.

Faux Leather Stars

 I used leather stamping tools to create the designs on my polymer clay faux leather stars.

I purchased some fun faux barbed wire online to go on the tomato cage I will be decorating with the polymer stars and some rusted polymer stars (below).  The hand mirror is for my booth.

Bead Squiggle Ornaments

I strung some of my bead soup onto a thin wire and then wrapped it around a knitting needle.  The knitting needle's shape created the natural squiggle.

 I made a bunch of shrink plastic Tee Shirts with bead sayings on them.  Still working on it, but it is coming along nicely.  Thank goodness it is a 3' tree.

Happy Thanksgiving

 Sometimes we have to look for things to be grateful for; there is always something.  Wishing you a good holiday.

Sewing Stoppage

 I officially have every tabletop  covered with some project.  That's when I'm happiest.  However, in the middle of my tablecloth project, my sewing machine decided to break down.  So, the tablecloth has been put aside for now and the sewing machine put away.  I'm aggravated.  I will see about an estimate after the holidays.  On to the next table of projects.

Sweet Secret Teapot House

 I've started this little two cup teapot house which is on a shelf drying for a couple of days.  In the meantime, I want to sew a tablecloth for the holidays and am anxious to get that going.

Are you getting ready for Turkey Day?

Polymer Clay Canework Beads

These were my first cane work beads way back when.  I sized and hand rolled each one.  I keep saying I am going to re-string them, but I still haven't gotten around to it yet.  Having too much fun.  Hope you are too.
