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 […]

Temporary insanity
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. I closed the book store on Sunday, got the last of the orders on their way yesterday, and today I am diving headlong into holiday preparations. I’ve been working […]

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 […]

Not 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 […]

…if I had the materials I needed on-hand, is a fabulous lunch ensemble idea that I came up with. It would start with a lunch bag, something like this, these, or this (no need to click these red-underlined links, by the way – just hover over them to see the images). I’d make two of […]
Read More: What I would be making right now…Family Tree Magnets
Ever since my sons were tiny, I’ve had an interest in photo crafts, and have found many objects to decorate with their photogenic little faces. A few years ago I had the urge to branch out a bit and include other family members. The result is this set of Family Tree Magnets. I chose to […]

Thank you for all of the nice comments on the projects I’ve posted about recently! I’ve wanted to reply to them all, but I’ve hardly been online today. I spent much of my time buried under buttons. Making buttons, baking buttons, drilling holes in buttons… Arranging buttons prettily in Lenox bowls. You know, important stuff. […]
