A Platter Full of Pretties

Polymer Elegance in Aqua Blue

I am sorry it took so long but good things come to those who wait so here it is. As before I have created these using polymer clay. Each set has a necklace, earrings, a ring, and two hair pins. Each set comes in a variety of colors as well as different flowers to choose from. They are perfect for every occasion. Be sure to check out my Creations page.

Yay! School Starts.

For all us parents, we look so forward to hearing the words, School Starts. Our kids dread those same words but in the end they are happy to see their friends again. Never had trouble with Joshua going to school, he loves it although some day things may change but they haven't yet. Mickey on the other hand, hated HATED  school. Though she saw her friends she wished she could be in bed, now she's home schooled and hates it. She complains about not being able to see her old chums. No win situation! We parents who have home schooled kids have the benefits of being around our children throughout the whole day and it can be both a curse or a blessing depending on what kind of child you have. Mickey and I once got into an argument over Napoleon Bonaparte of all things! She was upset that she had to learn about an old dead guy as she put it. Now we just laugh and laugh but it was a serious matter that she did not want to read about a dead old guy and I had to listen to her cause she would follow me around and argue her case. I couldn't say, Yeah I know how you feel cause I myself hated American History and I myself thought it to be quite boring. What would have that helped? She would have won. Sometimes I think Mickey will be a great Litigator because she sure can argue. Boy can she argue a point. Well on to another year and she got a Trigonometry book, Lord help me.

New Blog, New Start.

I have been meaning to update my blog for some time and have been finally able to do it. Yay! It was actually quite simple, which is surprising since I suck at technology, haha. Well I hope you like it. Drop a line and let me know. Still in the process of designing a website so that has been taking longer than I thought it would. Been contemplating on asking my brother-in-law but he's so busy and I don't like making people feel obligated.  Well I am doing another sleep over so nighty night.

More Polymer Creations Coming Soon.

Okay so I know I am Lara Crafty Murphy and the headline states Handmade Crafts From the Heart but since I began working with polymer clay I can't get enough so I will be making more crafts with polymer. There is just so much that can be made with polymer. So far I have made a business card holder, earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, beads, miniature food charms, polymer people, and there is still so much more I want to make. For those of you who have never heard of polymer clay it is often referred to as bake-clay. It is called Sculpey Original, Sculpey II,  Sculpey III, Studio by Sculpey,  FIMO Classic,  FIMO Soft, PREMO, Pardo, Cernit, and KATO. They come in a variety of colors and so it makes it easy to get carried away. Poor Terry, My husband Terry is very supportive of my crafting adventures and he knows that the polymer adventure is just beginning

New Creations In The Making

Sorry that I haven't blogged in so long, I have been busy with new creations, I feel like I have come a long way from my first creations, my children as polymer clay and I progress further as I go. I have also been going through some rough patches but with God's help I can make it through. Well I am off to Joann fabrics, they have polymer clay 50% off. Awesome! Usually I stock up when I can. I am also in the process of creating a website so that also has taken a lot of my time up, so when I am satisfied with that I will have that up and running since I have so many questions on the prices of creations and what colors, etc. It is very helpful that if I run into a block my brother-in-law designs websites, too. Right now though I am trying to do it myself, kinda a sense of accomplishment for me. Well until next time, many blessings.

Long time no write.

Today is my hubby's 43rd birthday. He took the day off  but still had to get up early for a dentist appointment. He opened up his gifts which are a t-shirt Mickayla decorated, along with her card. He got five t-shirts and a 3-d poster of the Avenger's which Joshua picked out. The kids were so anxious for him to open his gifts it was like Christmas again. Well didn't spend much time creating but we did go on a cold cold water slide. Talk to ya later. More to come. Gonna do some crafting tonight while Terry goes to softball uless it finally warms up.
