I was talking to a new friend yesterday, who is starting to get her feet wet in polymer clay, and I was showing her some of my tools, many of which are repurposed from some other use, or are handmade by me. It occurred to me that some of you might also be interested in […]

So sleeeeeeepy
This was my last batch of buttons from the Clayathon. I didn’t even get to drill the holes properly before I left for home. This time instead of matching to a particular colorway of a fabric collection, I used a particular pattern (French Wallpaper) in several different compatible colors. These are from Belle by Amy […]

So, I started my day with two tiny little buttons. Tina had made me these great mittens, and kindly left off the buttons so that I could embellish them myself, and now I have – after nearly a month of wearing them button-less. I love the way they look, although if I ever need to […]

This is the first project I worked on at the Clayathon today. I mixed three colors to coordinate with Joel Dewberry’s Aviary collection (the “bloom” palette), and then I whipped up some buttons, a pair of earrings, and something else that I’ll show you in a little more detail another time. I’m not completely sure […]

I’ve got Clayathon on the brain. I’m figuring out what new-this-year books & videos I’m going to bring with me for the “Polka Dot Creations South” ( as I like to call it) that I’ll be setting up in my room. I’m also gathering up all of the canes I want to bring with me, […]

Autum Hall, aka Creative Little Daisy, made an apron that appealed to me for its simplicity. It was a light solid color, which I initially mistook for linen, with a patchwork pocket and coordinating colorful ties. I was surprised to learn that it was actually made from canvas. More specifically a canvas painter’s drop cloth […]

Or, for sale, anyway… On Etsy, I’ve got three new items, meant to coordinate with particular fabric (as all of my Etsy items are). Of course, if you like the colors, you can use them in whatever context you wish. Meet Flea Market Fancy Striped Decorative Button, Flea Market Fancy Triangles Decorative Button, and Flea […]

Ah, Friday. Here are some of my favorite photos this week. You can click on the mosaic to get individual photo credits. I came this close to buying the Heather Ross horses fabric in the green skirt on the bottom row, but I resisted. It’s not like I have a particular attachment to horses. I […]

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 […]
