It’s looking like the new GREEN issue of From Polymer to Art will be dropping on my doorstep today or tomorrow. There has been such an overwhelmingly good response to this issue (thank you!), that I am close to selling out already, and the magazines haven’t even gotten here yet! I’ll be ordering more this […]

How would you like to help me improve Polka Dot Creations? I want to make it easier for people to find the books, magazines, and DVDs that would most appeal to them. Right now, there are several ways to browse: by media (book, magazine, dvd, etc.) by what’s new or coming soon by what’s on […]

I feel a little unwell at the moment, and am shutting down my computer for the night. Why do you need to know this? Maybe you don’t. But maybe you are waiting for me to process your Polka Dot Creations order. Or maybe you’ve emailed me a question that I have not yet responded to. […]

Happy Thanksgiving! I usually spend Black Friday hanging around in my pj’s with the rest of the family, maybe geeking out on the computer, maybe reading a book, maybe knitting something, probably enjoying a little leftover apple pie… I rarely give much thought to shopping.

I spent Monday feeling worse and worse, Monday night being sick, Tuesday being feverish, nauseous, and headachey, and today I seem to be left mostly with the headache and a little dizziness.

I’ve got some show-and-tell and a shop update to talk about later tonight or tomorrow, but first really quickly I wanted to let you know I’ve got a little piece of ancient PolymerCAFE history […]

I finally came up with a plan of attack for the basement. You may recall we were flooded last weekend. It was only an inch or so of water, but it was across the entire floor, and anything that had been sitting on the floor was damaged. Thankfully that wasn’t too much stuff, but Neil […]

I have Sherri Haab to blame for all of this. And by “this” I mean the polymer clay supplies that lurk in many corners of my house, the business I’ve built around clay books + videos, and the piles and piles of polymer jewelry mostly gathering dust in my bedroom. (You know how that goes […]
