Eh....

This is a darn shame, I haven't even added any of my crochet stuff yet! And I have a lot of it!!!

OK so I suck at blogging! I'm sorry! I will try to get better, I promise! I will try to blog some photos of all my stuff that I have created lately.

This could take a while....

Another Weekend of Productivity!

Spent another weekend working hard on jewelry stuff! Here is what I made:

Little cheeseburgers!!!!

These cheeseburgers are Pepper approved!

Donut holes to match the regular donuts! A friend requested that I make donut holes so that she can keep the donut for herself, and give the donut hole to her best friend. I thought it was a really great idea!

Cinnamon roll! Yummy! The brown filling that is rolled up between the "dough" has real cinnamon baked into it so that it will smell good! It's not like a super-cinnamony scent... it's subtle, but satisfying!

Orange halves! These require some explanation! While thinking of good Best Friends necklace ideas (peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, peas and carrots....etc) I remembered the phrase "media naranja" from Spanish class in college. Media naranja means half orange if you translate it literally, but when people use the term they are using it to refer to soulmates. Saying media naranja is like saying "my other half" or "my better half". If you think of your love or relationship as the whole orange, you are half and your soulmate is the other half. Cute, huh?

Key Lime Pie

For Sierra's birthday!

Really excited for making my first citrus fruit out of clay. It took forever, but I think the lime slices came out really good!

Delicious key lime pie with whipped cream and a lime twist! I'm not a key lime pie fan, but this looks delicious!!!

Another view of the pie. Getting those tiny little thin lime slices not to rip completely apart was torture, so I'm VERY happy that they turned out well!

Valentine's Cupcakes

Valentine's Day is my excuse to use lots of pink and glitter...

Vanilla cupcake with pink glitter frosting.

Red velvet cupcake with glittery cream cheese icing. Makes me hungry!!!

SUPER NEON GUMMY BEARS!!!

I know that gummy bears only come in traditional red, orange, yellow, green, and clear. To me, that's BORING! So I made some super duper neon bears, and even some glittery bears!

Hot pink, orange, yellow, lime green, turqoise, and purple!

The Barbie Bears: PINK GLITTER!!!!

These Donuts Make You GO NUTS!

Mmmmmm donuts.....

Neon rainbow sprinkles!

Barbie donuts: Pink icing with pink glitter!!!

Lollipop! *POP* Ba dum dum dum...

You know you want a delicious lollipop necklace with matching earrings!!!!!

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall....

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the King's horses and all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

This is what happened to the poor thing:

Busy Bee

I have been a busy little bee this weekend! I made a lot of new stuff, and I think it all came out pretty well. I think I need to take a break (at least 3 days) because my fingers HURT!

No I did not cut myself again! They just hurt because I've been picking up little pieces of metal, blending clay colors, etc. Occupational hazard, I guess.....

Here's a pic of most of the stuff I did this weekend. Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I used a LOT of two of my favorite things: pink and glitter!

I'll upload all the close-ups next!

An army of gummy bears!

Gummy bears in an assortment of colors! One green one has been transformed into a keychain for Jimmy. I think I'll make one into a necklace for myself, but I'm not sure which color I want yet...I'm leaning toward orange, yellow, or red....we'll see!

White, blue, and purple gummy bears? I've never seen real gummy bears in those colors but who cares!

The one on the top right is my best attempt at a clear (pineapple) bear. I used "translucent" clay. It looks white before baking and turns pinkish after baking. Not very translucent, huh? Oh well!
