I'm on fire!

Cute & quick. My favourite kind of project. Get the pattern here. WolfDreamer has a bunch of super cute Mario patterns on her site. I'm thinking of making a Luma (from Mario Galaxy) next.

Yup, I am indeed back.

The birds and the bees they are wise to the lies...

Two bad things I learned today; 20 hour migraines are quite unpleasant and the smell of burnt popcorn lingers. Forever. Two awesome things I learned today; Xbox Live 1 vs. 100 and that Swiss Chalet delivers in just over 20 minutes.

Finished up the necklace with the beads that I mentioned in the last post. C-h-h-h-h-h-eck it out.

You're lying if you say you didn't like like this game....

I spent many hours as a kid (or six months ago) spending hours playing Tetris. I love that game to pieces. You can imagine how psyched I was when they put out Tetris Party on WiiWare! So when I came across this yesterday, I totally had to make it! So I did. Super easy and most of the supplies I already had in my ever growing craft stash.

I made my way over to The Loop today after work to see if they had any bag handles for my project. They did! Sadly none that were going to work though...sigh. I guess I really am back to square one. Bah.

I also must state how bummed I am that I am going to miss the Halifax Crafters spring sale. I only just realised that it is this upcoming weekend and I'll be out of town at my parent's place since my sister arrives home on Thursday. Maybe next year. Or maybe I can even be a seller next year! Here's hoping!

I love Geeks.

My hands have never hurt as much as they did after this project. Honestly. Using my clay gun once makes my hands go red and raw. Using it about a hundred times within a few hours, made it impossible for me to touch anything for awhile without squirming in pain. I've been making polymer clay canes for a few years now but I've never really tried making any pictures within them (except for a once failed skull, so bad). I decided on an 8-bit Nintendo character as it would be pretty easy to work with. I printed off a pretty basic picture of one, broke it down into a grid pattern and got to work! Originally I was going to do with the more typical mushroom colours but I was lacking in orange and red so I decided to go with cute (and would match most of my clothing) instead.
