I finally got back to a project I’d started back in October or so: my second Sassymetrical. Sort of. I made my first, much in the spirit of the original pattern (i.e. same general shape) but with some modifications to deal with the different gauge of my yarn and the different curves of my body. […]

I hope by now you are running your fingers through a big bowl of buttons you made yourself! I also hope you have enjoyed learning a little bit about polymer clay. Some of you have asked questions about the process I use to make the buttons I sell. While it is beyond the scope of […]

I’ve decided to play along with Tsh at Simple Mom, and join Project: Simplify. I’ve had decluttering on my to-do list for some time, but there’s always some reason not to do it, and always an easy way to talk myself out of it. Tsh provided just the push I needed – she’s made it […]
