I am featured in a treasury on Etsy!

I was surfing around this morning and came across this treasury:

To my surprise, one of my polymer clay necklaces are featured. This treasury was created by a fellow member of the Etsy soapdish street team. Thanks very much CeruleaBathand Body for including me in this great treasury!

Newly listed in my store!

Here is my newest listing Safari pendant. I am proud of this piece. I created it for the PCAGOE challenge for March 2008. The theme is animals and I created this piece to reflect my daughter's love of the animals of Africa.

Stay tuned for voting information starting March 1st!

More wonderful shops and a process I can't seem to master.....

Last time I blogged about how I was in awe of those who could sculpt. This time, I want to talk further about this.

I do love sculpture...somehow I guess I just haven't mastered the skills and patience to sculpt with clay. It is very difficult to do. Some people just have a way with clay that sculpture seems to come easy to them.

Look at this little guy from Lucybluestudio. He is a great little octopus. I love the iridescence on him and how his tentacles curl around each other.

Another great shop I found was Designsbyginnybaker. She does amazing miniature sculpture. I particularly love the doggies but because Easter is just around the corner love this little bunny. She is just so adorable.

And why not have some sculpture on your wedding cake too? Huntersdesigns creates personalized wedding cake toppers. I love these. They are not the traditional bride and groom and would look fabulous on a cake.

These shops are three great examples of polymer clay sculpture. Who knows? Maybe someday I will brave scultping and even have a few creations of my own! Until then, I think I will stick to what I know best!

Have a great day!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Valentine's Day and a wonderful weekend! Time sure flies when you have kids....finding a moment alone is rare if not impossible.

I did have some time to peruse etsy today though and came across some beautiful shops today.

The first is the seller Mosaico who's etsy shop is here:

The cold is ending!!!

I am so happy to report that it is warming up! No more minus 30 something weather (for now!) in site for a while I hope. I might even get close to zero by the weekend!

The cold weather always puts me in a slump...feeling stuck inside and just plain old blah! But now the sun is peeking out and I feel more springy if that is possible.

I am creating again and working on some new stuff. Venturing into some new techniques in polymer clay which has me really excited. Also working on my entry for the PCAGOE challenge for March....can't wait...its my first time participating!

I am also knitting when I can....working on some more felted purses. I have a craft show coming up next month so I need to fill my table!

My little ones keep me busy too...my baby is so close to walking...she is only just over 9 months old. Can we say trouble with a capital T. My first was never this much trouble....lol!

Well, as I am writing this....she WAS napping....now got to go and get her she is awake!

Enjoy the week everyone....wherever you are!

I am so excited!

I am so excited! I have decided to offer free shipping to Canada and the US on all items in my etsy shop!

I have also been busy today trying to create my entry into the pcagoe challenge for March! So far I am pleased....I will keep you updated on my progress and let you know when it is complete!

Have a good day!

Monday, monday....
