Today is going to ROCK!

Just finished this. It will go in my new office at work. :)

The Island of Misfit Toys

I always loved that Rudolph Christmas special that had the island of misfit toys. Was that the New Year's one? I can never remember.

They always seemed so loney and sad and I wanted to take them all home to love and play with. So to fulfil that childhood wish, I've started to make my own version. They aren't exactly toys, but they are in the spirit of those who are "just not quite right."

These are all up on the Etsy shop if you feel like taking one home to love and play with too. :)

Wow, I suck at blogging...

No excuses- just lazy. But to make up for it, here's what I've been up to over the summer.

Paperclay Easter Bunny

My first foray into paperclay. This guy was so much fun to make. I'm totally thrilled with the way he turned out. The only problem is now I need to get my hands on some more clay and there's no local supplier that I'm aware of. Hrrm, a


trip to Berkeley may be in order... Happy Easter!

Butterfly by

Just another square to share. I tried to do my own varigated floss by combining the yellow & green on the body. Didn't really work out...

Another embroidery inchie

Here's another stiching along square. I should mention that my piece is only 16 squares, not the 39 that Amy is doing. I just don't have that kind of an attention span! Also, my squares aren't really inchies either. They're more like 2 inchies. I know, I know I'm such a rebel! :). My dream is to be able to take a picture of one of these squares that's not totally blurry by the time we're done.

Flower cuff

So ignore my fat arm, but man
I love this cuff. Took one of those flowers from the previous post and attched it to a lace cuff. Just wish I had something appropriate to wear it with!
