Clay Pin Toppers


A fellow swapbotter put in a request for some clay pin toppers. I have to admit I really enjoyed making something new. I love these pins and need to make my mom some. I know she will have a fit if I don't. LOL I think she's my biggest fan. It also forces me to create on a smaller scale as well. The teapot and cup are my favorite and first attempt at creating them.

Time to catch up =)

I've been a little slack on my blog lately. So here is for a little catching up. I have been playing with clay here and there nothing really great but hoping to change that very soon. I have been having lots of fun with perler beads. I have a small etsy with them http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7505581 . My niece and nephew from DH's side of the family have been staying the weekends with me here and there. I love having them around. I can play like a kid without looking to foolish. LOL I have also as of yesterday, 6/26/9, lost my job. Like many other companies/factories they just couldn't survive the economic downfall. Thanks to the wonderful girls on swap-bot.com and their support and advice. I see the good in what has happened. Move on to a better career. Use this time for a better education. I woke up today feeling much better about my future. Yaa!!!

I will get back to posting my claying adventures and hopefully inspiring some, if not all, to give clay a good try. =)
