Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Black Friday has come and gone but Cyber Monday is almost here. Unfortunately, I spent most of my money on Black Friday shopping. I had a huge craft haul where I discovered that the Hobby Lobby has cheaper clay than any other craft store we've been too. This will teach me to look for prices rather than just stick with my usual stores. Now, in total, I have 44 blocks of clay that want to be used.  I also went to town on the bugle beads. I plan on making more ornaments and I'm going to try to make wind chimes for my step-mother.

Time to do a little craft planning.

Snowflake Ornaments

I've decided to practice making ornaments so I could decorate my sitting area. I only have 3 made so far but they took more time than I expected. It was all about figuring out what I wanted. I wanted something simple. My first attempt at making a beaded snowflake failed miserably. Maybe I should look at beading tutorials before I try to start beading. My second attempt was with materials I knew a bit about: Eye pins, headpins, polymer clay, glass and crystal beads, and glue. Here are the results.

Less Than 24 Hours to Go

My store will be opening soon. It will be open by 10:30am EST on November 21, 2011 (tomorrow). I'm rushing around making new things to put up in my shop and experimenting with ornament making. Pictures will be up on my DeviantArt account soon.
