New Ideas

Every now and then, I have an idea. Odd, I know. So the other day while helping out with my production work, the boyfriend got ahead of what I had planned. I passed him scraps to blend. They made a pretty rainbow which turned into these pretty rainbow beads:

Random Rainbows

So there’s a stack of these with a little variation (depending on how they got rolled up). I doodled some of my brain waves -

We have earrings. I think some of them will have to be earrings. Bright fun earrings.

I don’t make stitch markers but one of my favourite teamies and customers, Heather of RyCrafty, makes stitch markers like these. So the idea occurred to me.

And finally, I think some will be buttons. because they could be really cute buttons.

When you all are brainstorming how do you go about figuring what you’ll clay? And if you, like me, make supplies… how do you determine what you’ll make as the end product?

Signs of Spring

Before I knew a thing about flowers – and this wasn’t long ago – I didn’t really realize there were flowers that were heralds of spring. I mean I guess it makes logical sense but if you’d asked me I’d have been unable to name them.

Pansy Canes

I started this spring off with a new order of pansies. I’m happy with how these came out.

Of course, another sign of spring is that we’re spending THIS weekend painting, too. The windows can be cracked open so it’s not even too fume-y.
