Cooking, Sewing, Working, Traveling, Gardening and Pondering

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

Something Special to Share

On Friday night when I got home at 10pm from a Junior League meeting I found this envelope on the counter for me. It was from my friend Regena. You see she had this giveaway on her blog and I won! Don't you just love this Hello Kitty Hobo bag?


I'm gonna take it with me on my Vespa to the farmers market this morning. She also sent along a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser! I'm going to put it next to the one my friend Kimmie gave me and the Santa one my hubs gave me!



Then late last night after dinner, I started to play with some polymer clay. I had ordered a book off Amazon on "Create Anything with clay" and it came with a selection of clays to play with.

Here is what I baked up last night after dinner - I made 2 of each.

Sculpting Pin Heads

Here are my first attempts into making those cute little pin heads that float around the sewing world.

Note, I cheapened out and bought the crayola modeling clay instead of fimo clay. I wanted to see if I could actually make something look like it was suppose to before I invested in good materials. Considering the modeling clay box came with 4 colors and cost me $0.94 at Target it wasn't a big investment.

I may have to get myself some pretty Fimo clays now. What do you think?


Oh and go checkout the awesome giveaway Regena is doing!!! You gotta love Hello Kitty!
