My 50th Post! And a Happy 4th of July!

I hope that everyone is having a great day today. What are your plans for the rest of the day? I am going to be cooking out with my husband and just spending time at home. We took our daughter to see fireworks for the first time last night, and took her to see her first movie at the theater today! Here are a few photos showing what I have been doing while not blogging:


Over the past two months, I have been working on some display options for my jewelry, taking care of my plants in the backyard, taking my daughter all over the place (beach, living museum, aquarium, petting farm), indulging in some cupcakes, and finally getting my daughter to sleep through the night in her bed.

I've also been working on some new art/jewelry finally. I felt like there was a hole in my life when I hadn't made anything in about a month.

My mother-in-law and some other family are coming in town soon, so I plan on working on some blog posts for next week over the weekend! Have a great holiday.

Treasury Tuesday - The Colors of Aqua and Green

Today in my part of Virginia, the weather is cool but still really nice outside. So I found some treasuries today that remind me of that. It is also a big time of year for weddings, and this Aqua Treasury was put on the front page of Etsy.

And here are a pair of earrings that I just listed on my Etsy Site:

Renewing my Blog, and a Before and After of some new Clay Work!

Yesterday while my daughter took a nap, I decided to take some before and after shots of some new Polymer Clay work that I started this week. I also read some great tutorials on fixing up this blog.
You can find the tutorials here: Kevin and Amanda's  Blog and Other Tutorials

Originally, I wanted to create my version of comic strips each week and post them here. Unfortunately things around my house got really busy until the middle of this month. So now my goal is to make behind-the-scene posts of my art that I am selling on Etsy, great art and geek finds that I see around the internet, and if I have time, a new comic each month!


The other day, I posted this picture to my Facebook page:
My Messy Art Corner


 And here is a before shot of what I was working on that day:
Raw Polymer Clay


And the (almost) finished product:
Painted, Baked, Sealed, and added Canvas and Felt "wings"

Messing around with some Translucent Polymer Clay, I came up with these. It took me a while (two days) to figure out what to call them and what to do with them. I added felt/fabric to the bottom of them, and then made these canvas and felt "wings". I decided to call them pocket animal familiars (since they are about 2x3 inches). They also match my latest greeting cards!

Hoping to add these to my etsy shop in the next week or two. In the mean time, I will keep fixing up my blog, and maybe even get some time to play my current video game.

Thanks for reading!
