Better late then never...

I've decided to put my blogs together as I just don't have the time to give them both the attention thy need. So there will be a mixture of my nail polish endeavors as well as my creations. They are both creative outlets for me and that's what I like to share.

Here's my Christmas mani a little late. The base is China Glaze Paper Chasing.

I found this little blue tree last year after Christmas and thought it was so neat. I decided to take it easy and just hung some candy canes on it.

WOOHOO I finally got my Cricut!! It's been sitting in the living room since Thanksgiving teasing me and now I can finally play. I got the Cricut Create which is the size of the original with the features of the Expression. Big Lots had it on sale on Thanksgiving and I was there at 6:45 am waiting to get one of the 7 they had. YEAH!!!! I'll be letting you know how it goes.

Violet

Meet Violet. She is the latest addition to my new fabric flower creations. I am having so much fun making these. This one is attached to two ribbons so she can be worn several ways, such as a headband, choker, or even a bracelet.

I've been doing some rearranging of my creative space and boy have I collected a lot of crafty stuff. More than I will probably ever use. Once I get things more organized I'm going to have to do some destashing. I dream of the day I can have a studio and have everything in one room. Right now it's all over the house and garage. AAAHHH someday!!!!

Bubble Gum

So I don't know about everyone else, but I have the worst time thinking of cute names for my creations when I list them. I see most people give their items names on etsy rather than just pink flower for example, but it doesn't come as easily to me. Anyway I've decided to just go with whatever pops in my head when I look at the finished product. For this set of bobby pins Bubble Gum was the first thing so that is their name. The are made with several fabric layers in pink and white. They are available in my shop. Enjoy!!!

Flower brooches

I know I've been away for quite awhile, but I have made some new creations and am going to try and get back in the swing of creating and sharing. It has been really tough for me to find a balance between work and play. My schedule can change at a moments notice and it just wears me out at times. Any how on to my latest creations.

I have been playing with lots of different types of sheer fabrics and layering them into flowers for various items. I love getting out a big pile of fabric and just putting all kinds of color combos together. My first two are brooches. The first is Gypsy a blend of purples, blues, and greens. The second is Apricot a blend of mint green and peach with silver glitter accents. They are both available in my shop.

Oldies but Goodies

Well here's a few more of my faves. I just renewed them in my shop so please go take a look.
I'm getting lots of new ideas sketched out so should have some done soon.

Some favorites

As you know, I have been in a slump for awhile as far as creating goes. I finally got my sewing table cleaned off and set up. YEAH!!! I'll share some pics of the new set up soon. It's not a good pic day here today. Rainy. Anyway I thought I'd show some pics of some faves. I'm really trying to get back in the swing of blogging and creating again. It's been way too long.

Looks like a couple of my critters jumped out at me so here is todays faves. My adorable little chameleon and my sweet little parakeet. These are both brooches. They are both available in my shop.

Have a great day!!!!
