cookies, shawl pins and buttons

I was in a baking mood today although this has been a hectic day. My next batch is m&m cookies. all those ingredients and only 3 dozen. Was hoping for more. So I also made some new shawl pins and buttons. Of course I use 2 separate ovens as I don't want my cookies tasting like polymer clay. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and have yet another batch of cookies to bake and shopping to do .

Practice makes perfect

or at least that is what I hear. The more I play with my polymer clay the more ideas I come up with. I figured out how to make a bracelet and how to make my own bails for making necklaces. I have a few pics but will be showing more soon

The longest part of doing polymer clay is conditioning. Seems like it takes forever to get the clay conditioned and yes I do have a pasta machine. I would say I probally have most of the goodies required for doing a lot of polymer clay work.

Polymer clay and crochet

Polymer clay and crochet. Both are so versatile. I made these and then crocheted to make a necklace and a couple of bracelets.
