Clay Easter Eggs


You can't have Easter without Easter eggs. I made these a while ago, but I plan on making some more to fill up a jar-thing-a-ma-jig that I have instead of keeping in an old strainer. They are really easy to make, but for now you will have to just follow worded instructions instead of picture step by steps.
How to Make:
1. Get an egg and blow out the yoke (poke a hole on each end and blow!)
2. Get some sculpty or premo (I've used both) and use an extruder to make some nice long strands. You could just roll some, but they will not be as even.
3. Start sticking all the bits on how you want.
4. I took out the ink thing out of a pen and used the end to make little circles.
5. You can put some glitter on to make it sparkle. I did it on some of them.
6. Bake!
7. You can put a glaze or something of the sorts if you want. I just left them and even with my nieces and nephew playing with them they have held up well. You could put an eye hook on them too so you can hang them. That was my plan at one point, but I never got around to it. =)

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs.  We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs.  Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick.  Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us.  There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes!  Each glove puppet came with a poem.  They are just to cute!

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own.  So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!

Scrapbooking, Adore

    Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them.  I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love.  This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus.  I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy.  I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page.  It really is a random page for a random photo.     This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration.  I felt that they would make a fun background.  At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk.  I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol.  I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use.  At first, I was going to just paint the frames white, but then I decided to make them gray.  I'm glad I made them gray because now they
