HA HA! PROOF!

     So, I twittered and facebooked* that I was going to spend my weekend CREATING and MAKING STUFF after two weeks of being sick, and pretty much spending my weekends napping and eating soup. (And going to rehearsals for a dance concert in March, but rehearsals are pretty much a constant in my life. It's a little like mentioning that I spent time breathing.  or reading.) 

So, TAA-DA!

A flower bobby pin!  Created on my flower loom

I didn't actually get as much done as I would have liked, because I took a "percussion for choreographers" master class on Friday, and we spent some lovely time together as a family on Saturday.  (And Sunday I had...yup, that's right, REHEARSAL!)  But I did find time to make this flower bobby pin.

*harumph.  Spell check doesn't think facebooked is a word.  What does it know?

The last two weeks....

Spent much of the last two weeks battling off a nasty cold.  My life pretty much consisted of going to class, going to rehearsal, eating soup, and napping.  Now, this is where I post the picture of the homemade chicken noodle soup I ate in a stoneware bowl, perched on a cute plate with a home baked roll sitting on the side.

Or, um, y'know, NOT...  It always amuses me when people think I'm an uber-domestic Martha Stewart type because I'm crafty and stuff.  Not, uh, always the case as you can see.  

Wordless Wednesday: Tracks in the Snow

Finally!

Got my hands in the clay again!  Here's a work in progress.  

A Frosty Morning...

Woke up this morning to find Jack Frost had been busy on my kitchen window! 

Stop Motion of making a polymer clay cane

     I took a class called "Performance in Society" this semester.  One of our assignments was to create a performance based on a secular ritual.  I love the ritual of creating, and so I made a polymer clay bead, from clay in the wrapper to the final smoothing before the bead would be baked.  This is the stop motion I made in the wee early hours of the morning (I am a master of procrastination!)  for our final portfolio presentation.  I did not have time to get to the making a bead part, but I hope you enjoy this little glimpse of how I create. 

New Journals!

My online shops have been on hiatus while I do local holiday craft shows and try to survive another semester of school as a Theatre Major/Dance Minor.

But thanks to Thanksgiving break (and a rather HUGE snowstorm which meant I did not get to go to the out-or-town craft show I was planning on =( ) I have gotten my shop back up and running, and am listing new notebooks and journals!
