Bracelets, Bracelets, Bracelets

I've been busy making bracelets lately.  It's really enjoyable picking out different beads from my local craft store.  I love all the pretty colors, shapes, and varieties.  I've also been trying to use up my stockpile of beads.

I find myself doing other things besides what I should be doing.  Do you do that too?  It's not just me, right?  Ha!  I should be working on getting my tax stuff together.  So, I guess I'm procrastinating.

I think I'll start tax stuff on Monday.  Hope you have a great weekend!

Polymer Clay Earrings

I've been playing with clay again.  A long time ago, when I first discovered poly clay, I made tons of beads.  Mostly in a swirled pattern.  Boring.  Meh.

One of my first beads. I suppose it's kinda cute.

But recently, I've found so many beautiful patterned clay slabs on Pinterest that I've been inspired to try my hand at slab work. 

First attempt at patterned clay cut outs.

Since I didn't have a very fun mix of colors for my first batch, I picked up more clay.  Stay tuned.
