Very Successful PC Class

My first official clay day was a raging success! Everything went according to plan and all of my guests were complementary! After a verbal poll, I determined that all of my students felt supported and capable of creating beautiful beads. I had so much fun working with each group!

If you are interested in taking one of my classes, feel free to email me with your request! I require $15.00 down to reserve your seat. I will be posting information on my next class soon. Please enjoy the great pictures of my talented students!

Great class opportunity!

Black and White

Here are some new pictures! I had a black and white order that inspired these pieces. I used black and white polymer clay and crystals to create this stunning focal piece. I reduced the pedal of the flower to create a flower cane that I paired with a kaleidoscope cane to make the beads.
Enjoy!

Pink and Green but Mature In Style

I was approached by a friend to create a set that would showcase her love of pink and green. I decided that i wanted to take on the challenge. I chose to find a way to help this color combination grow up. This is the result. I think that i achieved what i set out to do. As the piece comes together, i will post pictures.

I am the mother of a three year old!!

We celebrated my sons third birthday on Saturday. He got a real drum set and a guitar. You should have seen his face when he uncovered the drums. All smiles. Friday, my husband and i went shopping for him. It was fun to look at all the fun toys there are. We decided that we wanted to have a water theme so we got him an 18 inch swimming pool with water toys and water balloons. My husband wanted to get him a squirt gun but i was resident to commit. Isn't he too young for guns? Well, after a long discussion, we decided to pass. Not because we were opposed to them, just because it merited further discussion. Anyway, we invited mostly family to the party and it was a wonderful time. We all talked and ate and admired the little reason we all gathered for. Presents were not the focus of our little get together, so if there were any we opened them quietly with the giver. Uncle Dan very excitedly gave his gift to Caleb and what would it be? Four little squirt guns!! Funny, It was a relief to have someone older and wiser settle the discussion for us. As a result of Uncle Dan's contribution the party became much more entertaining. We immediately established who the first target would be....Yup, you guessed it. Uncle Dan! Because of Calebs height, everyone looked like they had wet themselves.

What a wonderful day!

Great days in the fellowship!

Church rocks!!! It was so wonderful to be with my christian family today. We had Andy Avery sing for us at the church this evening and Leah was in heaven. She danced until she tipped over and fell asleep.

Caleb said the sweetest thing today in the car on the way home from church. He wanted to know why the sky was getting dark. I told him the the sun went to bed. Then he asked, "is the sun in heaven with God and Jesus in the ky!" I told him that Jesus is in my heart and that someday He would be in his heart. He replied, "za! When I get bigger I get Jesus in my heart a whole much too!"

I pray that these words are a sign of his future. I want him to love Jesus and someday give Him his heart.

How did I get so lucky! My son is the best!

Back at it!

Well, it has been quite a long time since my last post! Sorry! I guess I better catch you up on all the latest. Mothers day was a blast. It is so cool to be a mom. I think it's great that, because God blessed me with two amazingly wonderful kids, I qualify for an additional gift giving day. That rocks! I get beautiful children and presents! I got a digital camera from my fabulous mother and father-in-law. My husband finally gave me the Ipod that I was suposed to get for my birthday. I am so excited to actually have it in my hands! It is a brilliant piece of technology! I hope it will help me to post more often.

Caleb said the funniest thing on Friday. I always go home for lunch so that I can feed my 8 month old little girl. Caleb (3 yrs) love to have me home and hates it when I leave. He always says, "Mommy, no go a werk! Chay heew!" Naturally it is very hard to leave such a darling
little guy. Well, I have taken to telling him to find his cell phone and call my principal and tell him that I shouldn't go back to work. It has been effectve in passifying him. Friday however, was a different story! As I headed toward the door to go back to work, I heard Caleb cry out, "Wait a minint! Mommy, dust a sekind! I get my cew pone an caw Dam Mader! I tell him dat you no gotta go a werk!" When I returned to work I did warn my principal of my sons impending "cell phone" call. He cracked up!
