Can you say Slacker? .... I knew you could.

Shame on me.  Neglectful blogger.  I must say though, while I have been cranking out some creations lately, I've just been too lazy to crack open the ol' laptop to blog.  So whats been on my creative list these days?  I have been making polymer clay buttons like crazy lately and selling them in my mom's vendor booth 'The Quilted Trillium' at quilting shows and sewing expos.  I have also started the ball rolling for my own business named,  wait for it.... All Things Sweet.  I procured my business license and a website (although not up and running yet) and I even have business cards!  I feel official.  Now, if only I could just sit down and work on my website and then market myself.  Anyhow, button making is fun.  I have found a love for many things like knitting, painting, sewing, bla bla bla.... but what I am noticing is that when a project takes longer than a few hours my A.D.D kicks in full swing.  Buttons take a few minutes each and I can crank out a couple dozen unique pieces in just a hour or so.  So anyway here are a few of my buttons that I have created over the last couple months.  Enjoy.











 I also knitted this amazing pair of fingerless gloves/armwarmers that I ended up giving to my niece.  She is sooo lucky. They are made of baby alpaca and are so super soft.


A couple weeks ago I made this cake for my cousin's baby shower.  She didn't have twins, the shower was shared with her best friend who also had a baby recently.



And here are some random things that I have done in the past... ok, it's mainly cakes, paint and hair, but it's all me.
