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:

This is the mosaic of somebody who had a four day weekend and didn’t let it go to waste. I had family time, I crocheted, I played some more with the fusion of NFC technology and polymer clay, I used polymer and resin to copy a pair of beloved-but-no-longer-for-sale Etsy-bought earrings that I lost, I got my dirty car washed so it sparkles and shines, and I enjoyed the last of the peonies.

Between the pink trees and the polymer clay experiments I’ve been doing, this week’s mosaic has been colorful.

It’s been a creative week. I made some wash cloths for the kitchen, two new types of tools to keep in my shop, and scones from last summer’s berry harvest

This past weekend was the Clayathon, so you’ll see a lot of my images are dominated by what I made during those three days. We also had an ice storm, which gave me something else to take pictures of.

I do not want to turn on my computer on the weekends! Weekends are for visiting! And going for long drives! And breathing fresh air! And sitting on the bed watching mysteries and knitting!

I can’t properly express how much it pleases me to be ending the year on a Friday. For TWiP purposes, all weeks end on Fridays, so when the end of a week corresponds with the end of the year, it just feels so neat and tidy. How nice for my 2021 photo and video projects not to extend awkwardly into the middle of another week! I’ve learned a few things this year, photographically speaking, and will tailor my 2022 project accordingly 🙂

Just like last year, we connected via video to watch everybody open their gifts from three different locations: the gathering at Mom’s house, my living room, and a quarantined bedroom. It wasn’t ideal, but I’m glad that we have the option of this type of alternate last-minute plan.

I wrapped up my ornament-making season this week, and then whipped up a few jewelry pieces, because I was surprisingly still in the mood. That’s not great news for my dining room table, but it’s good news for anyone who’s been thinking they’d like a new colorful bangle bracelet to go with that sweater…

It was a full week. I’m thinking about how to refer to multiple Flax sweaters in a grammatically acceptable way, because I finished one Flax and started another this week. I also made more family portrait ornaments, and moved permanently out of the office space that I used to occupy before the pandemic.
