Welcome, former Polka Dot Creations customers!
I closed that book shop in 2012, but I have not given up polymer clay. There are a few things here you may enjoy:
Looking for something in particular?

Greetings from the Clayathon, where I’m making canes… …and pens… …and buttons… …and barrettes… …and typing to you with less than 15 minutes left on my laptop battery. Note to self: next trip, don’t forget the power cord! Note to Melanie: thanks for letting me borrow yours to recharge my battery today! This is everything […]
Read More: Half dead batteryOnce upon a time, before I learned to sew, and before I started knitting, this was a polymer clay blog. Ok, it still is to some extent, but there have been enough detours into other crafty territory, that I’ve picked up plenty of followers who know very little about the clay. And on those days […]

I finished my little neckwarmer project. And, wow, was it ever a quick knit! I nearly completed the whole thing while watching TV last night. I should really call this my “Stargate Atlantis Series Finale Scarf” but I think I’ll stick to the simpler “Malabrigo Neckwarmer.” The Details Pattern: Cashmere Neckwarmer by Kim (on Ravelry) […]

Or, in our case, on the little tinsel tree. These are fifteen polymer clay stocking ornaments. I was inspired by these fabric stockings to make a miniature version in clay. I’ve always thought of my patterned clay sheets like fabric anyway, so it was a pretty logical progression, in my mind. Every year I make […]

Today is the first day of my Christmas Vacation, which, if you were paying attention last year, you’d know is really not a “vacation” at all.

Whew. Glad that‘s over. Interesting as it was to try and take reasonably compelling photos of everyday tasks and let them speak for themselves here, I do prefer being able to sit down for a while in the evenings with my thoughts and share a bit. And that includes words. Often many of them. So, […]

For Week of Few Words. I’m sitting on my parents’ couch after midnight, listening to the banging of the pipes. I’d forgotten how noisy the steam heat was in this house. I used to find it a comforting noise. Now, I just hope it doesn’t keep me up tonight. I’m here because I’m participating in […]

For Week of Few Words. After a slow start involving a Wii that is going under our tree this year but clearly needed to be taken for a test drive – just to make sure it works properly. further testing may be required. you know how it is. – I managed to cross some things […]
Read More: WoFW: ThursdayI wanted to point out a few fundraising efforts I have a part in, and hope that you find yourself in a position to help. First is Claythings for Cassidy, which is happening right now in my own Polka Dot Cottage shop. 50% of the purchase price of anything you buy between now and December […]
Read More: Buying handmade with a purposeNot to wish October away or anything, but I am eagerly awaiting the first week of November, when a big heavy box filled with copies of this little gem will land on my doorstep. It’s funny (or maybe it’s sad, given that I own a polymer clay book store), but this is the first clay […]
