Polymer Clay Weekend

I had an artful, creative, and relaxing weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day! I worked on these clay tins on and off all weekend. I'm mad because they won't cure quick enough because the weather is humid. I want them to dry so I can post them to sell on Etsy or Ebay. I don't want to try and sell them until they are dry and ready!

My family got me three Richard Gear Flicks for Mother's Day. I have not watched any of them yet. I like to delay the satisfaction. He is my sweetie....besides my husband of course. Anyway, Cody got me a dozen beautiful white roses this morning for Mother's Day. He hugged me and told me he loved me which meant so much to me.

Things are bitter-sweet lately. My son is graduating from highschool in less than two weeks. He goes off to college in a month or two. I am scared to see what life will be like without him here all the time. What will we do? Hmmm......In one way, I look forward to the peace but in another way, I worry about his safety and happiness. I just want him to be ok. I have thought a lot about making him a little booklet-like a recipe booklet with references to all the problems that could possibly occur along with soluti0ns to fix them. Like, I already bought him a hide-a-key because he has locked his keys in his car many times.

Am I crazy? Am I too controlling? I don't know how he will make it. I guess he will just have to learn everything by "default" as my sister says. Afterall, isn't that how I learned about life?

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Dumpster Diving Diva

Dumpster Diving Diva Yes, I have to say, I probably looked something like this yesterday. I'm hoping that my bo - hiney did not look so much like this one though. OK, are you ready for this Lucy Ricardo story? It was Monday and I was working. I parked in the hospital parking lot and was going to go in and market to all the social workers. I spotted a trash dumpster and decided I should take advantage of that and clean the trash out of my car. (When you work out of your car...you are constantly cleaning trash out). So, I gathered up all trash and proudly walked over to the dumpster that I was parked so close to. I'm always so proud of myself for making do on the run. I proudly released my trash into the dumpster and before it hit the bottom I realized I also released my car keys! DANG IT! I could see them but for the life of me, I could not reach them. First, I looked all around for witnesses (none) so I dipped in slightly with my arm reaching as far as it could.....no go. Not

NO WATER REQUIRED FABRIC FLOWERS

I finished these fabric flowers yesterday. I loved the polkadot material. I just used fabric stiffener and I baked them some to make the fabric hard. I hot glued the stems and tied pretty ribbon. These are my kinda flowers......I can't kill these. Just dust and go. LOL Then after thinking about it a bit, I decided to make some round ones....kinda like pansies. That was not enough though.....I wanted them to be sort of primitive so I tea dyed them and baked them to stiffen. I also added polyurthane.....which by the way, I don't like as it seems to have a very mild stickiness even after they dried. So we live and learn....anyway....here they are. Then I decided to so something else with fabric....something different and unique. Oh my goodness, sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I do not like this creation but I like the concept so I might have to play with the idea some more. I wanted to make a fabric sculpture piece of art that you could hang on the wall. This is
