Christmas is in the air

Just a little show and tell today. I've hardly had the chance to play with my clay so i don't have anything new to sho you guys, but i do have some other stuff i wanna share :) 


here's a new picture of me and my "poyfriend"
he smells so nice today.. just the right mix of dusty-dog and soap smell ^_^


naaalala nyo pa ba ito? i do! meron pa pala sa robinson's hihi




i needed to pass the time earlier while waiting for my family to arrive. we were having dinner out since it's their first day back from a short vacation to the province. i didn't plan on buying anything, but i found these really cute Christmas ornaments and i couldn't help myself :)

these peppermints are so cute, i'm thinking of hanging them around the veranda or in place of gift tags-- i have a whole box of Christmassy stuff that i like to just add onto gifts as a final touch since i usually just wrap gifts with plain craft paper and twine :) 

                                      
and these are gingerbread men.. and women hehe some might go on the tree or the veranda, but maybe not on gifts because they're kinda big


and last but not the least --they're my current favorite-- are these Santa ornaments, a bit pricey compared to the microbead-encrusted two, but they're really nice and lends a touch of whimsy and country flair :)


off to divi later to look at garlands :) have a great weekend!!

Trash to Treasure

Okay. i will not start by saying i dont have enough time to do everything i want, because it feels there never ever will be enough time.  now isnt that just a obvious attempt at fake not-mentioning that i wish i had more time? confused O_o forgive me, it's 3am and i just finished the 1st blog entry on my to do list. those darned fb games are the devil's instrument, i tell you!! stupid bubble island made me lose 1 1/2hours blog time ( and here i was saying there never is enough time when there actually IS, i just dont know how to use it :P) so where was i, really? ah. the challenge. we had a challenge this week with the theme: Trash to Treasure.  It was something really close to my heart because by nature i am a pack rat. i save stuff i think i may need "in the future". sometimes i do find a use for them, sometimes i dont, but knowing they're there when i need them is an odd comfort. 2 days before the deadline, i swam deep into my treasured mountain of trash a...

purpleluggage floral headbands

Just a little info on the floral headbands I just posted. A lot of people have been asking about them saying they look so pretty and dainty but wonder why they're priced differently than most headbands out in the market, so I wanted to give you guys a little peek into what actually goes into making these pretty floral pieces :) I begin by making the petal canes I will use to make flowers. I usually make them by batches so i always have several canes with the same color scheme. my pasta machine, my trusty sidekick When I've made enough canes, i cut very thin slices from these petal canes and make the flowers by hand, building each flower petal by petal. And when I've made enough flowers I assemble them and lay them out on a brass finish headband base and bake the whole shebang in the oven. The whole process ( from making canes to baking to post-curing processes) takes about two days. yep. Two days. So although they do cost more th...
