I feel a little unwell at the moment, and am shutting down my computer for the night. Why do you need to know this? Maybe you don’t. But maybe you are waiting for me to process your Polka Dot Creations order. Or maybe you’ve emailed me a question that I have not yet responded to. […]

Birthday decor
We celebrated a certain someone’s 11th Birthday yesterday, and I thought I’d share with you a few of the simple things we did to decorate for his family party. First, there were the invitations, which I made using a silly photo we took earlier this year: I had a handful of 4×6 photo prints made, […]

I know it’s Wednesday, but I was up to my eyeballs in these yesterday, and I’m still not done. I got 3/4 of them off to the post office first thing this morning, and the rest are tricky little suckers that I will deal with after I hang out here a bit. Ok, so for […]

I am always impressed by the way that kids can take any situation and turn it into fun time. Their imaginations are limitless. When I have a weekend out of town, I bring a book, some knitting, and my laptop so that I am guaranteed not to go out of my mind with boredom. These […]

When I first created this shop, it was designed around my work at the time, which was almost entirely in Millefiori Polymer Clay. It worked well at the time. In the last four years, my work has evolved to include other materials, and even other techniques in the polymer itself. I don’t think the layout of the shop has worked for some time, and I am ready to do something about it.

It’s raining hearts. Happy Valentine’s Day 🙂 I sat down at the computer this evening to respond to comments and put the finishing touches on the next button-making lesson (read: write the whole thing, ahem.) but before I had a chance, my thoughts turned to fashion. I’ve been thinking about gauzy, light-weight, brightly-colored scarves lately. […]

I just got these really fun magnetic picture frames from Photojojo last week. They are shaped like Polaroid pictures and feature a write-on/wipe-off surface – dry erase marker also included. Fun, right? My family loves scribbling their two-cents onto anything that will sit still long enough, so I knew they’d like these. I found a […]
