Update Day

Let's see...what have I been up to? Oh yeah! I posted a bunch of stuff in my destash shop (SpringToDecember) yesterday. I found a bunch of embroidery items that I wasn't using and figured I'd pass them on to someone who needed them. :) I also found some extra beads from last Christmas.

4 Glass Peppermint Swirl Candy Beads - Red and Green Stripes

Hmmm...what else? Oh while I was digging around, I found some miniature dollhouse Christmas ornaments, that I had when I was growing up! I don't know how they ended up in my sewing box, but since I don't have a dollhouse anymore, I figured I'd post them.

5 Vintage Miniature Christmas Ornaments for Scale Dollhouse

I hope somebody gives them a good home. :) I also listed a new piece for my brother Tony (DigitalMushroom).

Super Mario 3D Polymer Clay Figurine

He also made a Super Mario treasury to go with it! Check it out here!

I'm currently working on a gingerbread man felt ornament, but I don't have any pictures to post yet. He started out as a plain gingerbread man, but he has evolved into a Russian gingerbread man. He is turning out really cute! I'm hoping to finish up today and post a pic either tomorrow or Sunday. Have a great weekend everybody! :)

Nice Relaxing Weekend :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was nice and relaxing, and I actually got quite a bit done too! I finally got around to fixing the pictures from my "little" brothers' graduation. Here they are after they both walked. :)



They both graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors Concentrations! Alex (on the left) got a degree in Accounting and Tony ([DigitalMushroom] on the right) got a degree in Art with minors in Advertising and Art History. Identical twins, but very different. :) If you know anyone in the New Jersey area looking for fantastic workers in either Advertising/Illustration or Accounting let me know! They are both available for hire! :)

I also did a LOT of work on my Ravenclaw ornament! I think it's turning out pretty well. :)



I got the raven attached. The wings were REALLY hard! I'm going to back the whole thing with black when I'm done, so I'm hoping that will give them a little more strength, but we'll see. The banner turned out nice. But I have a LOT of embroidering to do yet! More updates soon!

What else? Oh! Tony (DigitalMushroom) Made a really cool video game treasury in Treasury East this weekend! Check it out!

No school, like the old school!

That's pretty much it for the moment. I'm actually planning on working on some clay sometime this week. So maybe I'll have some more pieces to post towards Friday. :) Hope you all have a great week! See you tomorrow with a beautiful blue mini treasury! Bye! :)

New stuff! And other stuff.

I didn't get much done with my Etsy shop today, but I did help my brother Tony (DigitalMushroom) get his shop reopened. He (along with his twin brother Alex) just graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rowan University! Alex graduated with an Accounting degree and Tony graduated with a degree in Art. They are identical twins, but as you can see, they are very different. :) Anyway, today I helped Tony open his shop again, and have been taking pictures of some of his work for his portfolio. He's going to a advertising portfolio day in Philadelphia on Thursday to get advice on his portfolio. I'm kinda hoping they all really like it and offer him a job too, but I'm not sure if it's that kind of seminar or not. Oh, and on top of reopening his shop, he also posted a new piece!

Primitive Space Invader Polymer Clay Refrigerator Magnet

I think it's cute. :) It's different because it's a video game piece, but it's primitive. The old and new aspects of it together make it really unique. :) Well, back to work for me. Time to feed the monkeys...I mean children. ;)

Have a great night! :)

A New Things Update :)

So me and my Etsy addicted family have been busy lately. And since they are too lazy to have and/or update their own blogs, I'll let you know what they have been up to. ;)

Amber (thewanderingknitter) just posted the rest of her Halloween Kitties I told you about in her Featured Seller post. :) She also posted some fall kitties, this one is my favorite...and it's not cause his name is Jacob either. :P

Jacob the Fall Kitten

Aren't those colors beautiful? Perfect for the fall! :)

Next on my hit list, is my brother Tony (DigitalMushroom). He's at school at the moment, so whenever he has time to finish a piece I post it for him (cause I'm the best big sister ever!). Anyway here's his newest piece:

Halloween Kittycorn - Candy Corn Polymer Clay Kitty Cat Figurine

It's a kittycorn; isn't that cute! :) It even has orange paw prints on it's paws (you can see them in the last pic of the listing). :) I have another piece of his to post, but I need a better pic of it. Hopefully I can get that taken tomorrow.

Ooo! It's my turn! :) So I was making something (I forget what now) and I got distracted playing with the red clay, and ended up making a pin. It's my first attempt at jewelry, so be kind...

Pink and Red Heart Polymer Clay Pin - Little Bit of Love

It's cute, but it's heavier then I thought it was going to be (again, never made jewelry before) so it'll really work best only when used on thicker fabrics. I think it's cute, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to make more. I'd like to make some jewelry, but maybe something a little lighter next time. :)

I'm almost done with my most recent sushi felt piece. It turned out bigger then I thought it would, so I might make some polymer clay pins and sell it by itself and make some smaller rolls to go with my first piece. I was going to take a pic of it "in progress" but I don't know where my husband put my camera...so I guess tomorrow I'll post a pic. :)

Okay that's it for now. Later! :)

Sculpey Night

So tonight was a sculpey night. I finished my special orders for this weekend and got everything packed up for mailing tomorrow. I also started on some special orders for November and I was going to do some more Halloween pieces, but my children were not being very cooperative this evening, so I didn't get a lot done.

I can't believe it is already the middle of October! Where did the fall go? Of course my next question is where did the winter come from! It barely got above 45 here today and we have a frost warning for tonight! I guess I need to break out my fuzzy slippers, my feet are freezing! :)

Tomorrow is errand day, so I probably won't get a lot done. I am hoping to get some pics of my brother Tony's (DigitalMushroom) newest pieces (I forgot to do that today). He made a cute Kittycorn, a Space Invaders magnet, and an original robot piece. I'll post pics of them tomorrow night when I get back from wandering. :)

I think that's all for the moment. Oh I added a flickr feed widget to my blog. Keep watching, cause in the next couple days, I'm going to be adding some really cool pics of our trip to the sculpture park, Grounds For Sculpture, that we took last weekend. I'll let you know when I post them.

Okay I officially need to go find my slippers or some fuzzy socks of some kind, MY FEET ARE FREEZING! :)

Later!

Dude...

I just posted a bunch of video game pieces for my brother Tony. Since he's back at school, I'll be in charge of his shop (more or less) until he is back for winter break. So here are his newest creations!

Digital Mushroom's Shop

Later! :)

Too Cool!

Tony (Digital Mushroom) got something posted on CraftGawker! Yay! This makes me happy, cause I took the pics for him! :) As of right now, it's in the seventh row on the main page, and is the first item on the Dolls and miniatures page!

Here's a link to his item on Craftgawker:


Green "T"ea

Once on CraftGawker, you can click the picture to go to his listing on Etsy. Congrats Tony! :)

Later!

Digital Mushroom

So I helped my brother Tony (DigitalMushroom) finish setting up his store and post the stuff he has finished and had pics of. Here my favorite:



I also finished another Letter ornament. I started a gingerbread felt ornament set, but I can't find my beads I was gonna use for accents. I'm gonna look tomorrow, then hopefully I can finish them. I didn't get any sculpey done today, cause Pat was adding ram to my computer and had the room all torn apart. That's it for now.

Later! :)
