On the road again
I guess I’ve done a fair amount of polymer clay related travel this year. I hadn’t realized it until two Real Life friends said to me, when I told them that I was heading to Philadelphia this weekend, “you’re going away again?” They’re just jealous And what’s not to be jealous of? I’m here to [...]

Under the influence of TV, that is. I put it on simply to break up the silence, but to my surprise, Saturday Night Live is actually funny tonight. I haven’t been able to relegate it to the background like I’d planned. Maybe it’s because of where I am in my own life at this particular [...]

It’s been a long day, exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Walking, lugging, more walking, more lugging, and even more walking – those were the exhausting parts. But the wonderful conversations with those who dropped by my table at the vendor fair, the opportunity to put faces to so many familiar names of customers [...]

I’m just checking in from what has to be one of the ugliest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Don’t get me wrong. It’s clean. It’s tidy. There’s a place for me to put everything, and all of the bare necessities are available. And the service so far has been really good. The thing is, [...]

I’ve got a new apron design in mind, kind of along the lines of the patchwork scarves I’ve been making. The best part is that I don’t need any big pieces of fabric to make it happen. I’ve got the fabric for two of them cut out – one in that Martha’s Vineyard Watercolors fabric [...]

As you may know, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in so much stuff this week, but I needed some moments of brainless activity to help keep me sane. Sewing a series of straight lines is brainless enough for me, so I worked on my non-seasonal everyday napkins. I did a few every day [...]

It’s pretty handy that C in the Encyclopedia of Me should land today, because clearly C is for Clay, and I just happened to attend the monthly workshop of the New Jersey Polymer Clay Guild today I love the guild workshops. It’s 3-4 hours once a month that I know I can set up my [...]

Here’s a recent family portrait, courtesy of The Simpsons Movie. I wasted far too much time on that site this morning. Neil designed his own avatar, and I did mine & the kids, although the boys did pick out their own outfits (if you couldn’t guess…) Thanks a lot, Neil, for sending me that and [...]

I love the first Sunday of the month. It’s the day the NJ Polymer Clay Guild has its workshops. In the three or four hours I’m there, I get to socialize with like-minded individuals, sharing some of my knowledge and absorbing some of theirs. I get to sell a couple of the latest books & [...]

Just a little reminder – if you are the librarian for your local polymer clay guild, you can order books & videos for your guild’s library and have them shipped for free. Drop me a line if you’d like more information about this! Coming soon, I plan to start a mailing list (or rss feed) [...]
