Birthday Month

I have had a busy busy month. Both of my girls birthdays were this month. Aria, my older one is 9 now and Rainah is 3. How this happened I have no idea…. Didn't I just have Aria last year??? =-/ I don't feel old at all..really. Well a new season and growth spurts means that new bikes were in order! They LOVE them. Since this is Rainah's first bike she hasn't grasped in yet (considering it has been so cold we were only outside testing it for about 10 minutes and gave up). I think she will catch on easily though.. besides the steering.

I guess I jinxed the weather because this month we had almost a week of snow days, and let me tell you after the 2nd day everyone in this house was cranky and ready to leave. Now we are planning for another one. I can't say I am excited.

I have had time to work on many late night projects being bundled up at home! I am quite happy about that. I had a custom order of wine glasses for a wedding. She said they were exactly what she wanted, so I must say they were worth the 3 day ache in my hands from kneading the clay lol. Also, the awesome necklace I made my husband for christmas that I forgot to post! It is fluorite wrapped in clay with sterling silver and wood beads. It has inspired me to purchase a few more Fluorite stones and to make a few to sell. =) I will post pictures of those when I am done.

The countdown begins

The Christmas countdown begins. It feels like thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet. Maybe because it has been so warm? Who knows.
I ordered a ton of bezels from etsy to make my painting pendants, but when I got them in the mail I realized they are just too small to see the painting. I didn't want them to go to waste, then remembered
what I have wanted to do for awhile.

Polymer clay! I have messed around with it a bit but nothing I really thought worked. I want it to be very sturdy and secure.
I think for my first clay design it turned out pretty well! Better pics soon. I still need to glaze it as well.
What do you think??
