Feeling Better

My daughter caught a cold and passed it on to me so for the past 3 days I've been out of commission. I did do a little crocheting, which was very nice. I began making these love birds and Wow, are they big!

I'm really bad with measurements and just assumed they were smaller. So I decided to modify the pattern and make two smaller versions in blue and yellow. It looks like they are going to turn out perfect. I just need to go to Joann's and pick up some smaller safety eyes; the ones I have are too big. I also need to pick up some beads to weigh them down because the small versions kept falling over on their face.

I think I've found a couple new craft addictions: polymer clay and button rings. I found this awesome blog and fell in love with her pin toppers.

I think a polymer clay piece of cake on a ploymer clay plate would make an adorable addition to one of my clothespin dolls. I've always loved button rings and decided to make a couple as Valentine's Day gifts. Look out Joann's here I come, but I HAVE TO stay with my $20.00 shopping limit.

Time to go! My MISCHIEVIOUS 2 year old is getting into the ice cream and I'm sure is leaving a nice mess for Mommy. She is laughing at me with an ice cream goatee (I'm probably spelling this wrong) saying..."Funny guy". I told her #1 she is not a guy and #2 she is NOT FUNNY!
