I made this little sweetie out of polymer clay. Inspired by Christi Friesen.

His little soulful eyes are the sweetest. :) You can find him in my shop!  He would make a fantastic Christmas present for someone you love or for yourself!

Friday - Hooray!

I've been the worst about posting pics.... Probably because I haven't taken any to post. :) I was busy though, for a while. That was before I was overcome with crankiness. Now I sit down by my craft stuff, I sigh, I flip through a book, toss it aside, flip through a magazine, toss it aside. And I sigh. I've got the crafting cranks. My motivation is shot. Hopefully this weekend I'll get inspired.



I've just created a little piece for you all. My homage to fall (i love his brushes!):






















Last weekend we had a bonfire. C and I put luminaries all the way back to the fire. It was beautiful, but unfortunately I didn't take a picture. :(

Good times were had, C’s “Mr. Bucket” was passed around. A gave away the quasi secret recipe. Overheard:

L: What is in this?
A: In the bucket? (all matter of fact)
Okay, there’s alcohol, sprite and limes.
A’s husband: I can’t believe you just said that.

Overheard later:

L: Okay, so what’s in the bucket?

D pointed out this comet . You can see it with the naked eye, but we also looked at it through D’s telescope. So cool. I couldn’t believe how big it looked.

On to other notes...

I love this groovy dancing chick's style! And her big mushroom-like hat.

And I have (mostly) finished my cousin's website! I'm so cheesed. I'll link to it when it's all said and done!

Have a good weekend!

Lentil (click to see on YouTube)

Well you were waiting for me, you saw me, adored me
As I wish the whole world would
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
For all the things you thought you could
Yeah you would lick the tears from my eyes when I cried
Oh how I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you deceive you I needed you, I believed in you

Oh I I never meant to let you down
I’ll wait with the stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I’m trying not to fall apart

Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches
Money could never buy what you gave
And though my heart is aching and breaking I’m making
The most of what you send my way
Now I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told you
See I am coming back for you
Yeah I know we will be ok every day the sun
Shines a little brighter

Oh I I never meant to let you down
I’ll wait with the stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I’m trying not to fall apart

I never meant to let you down
I wait with the stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I’m trying not to fall apart
I’m trying not to fall apart

We’ll reunite oh we’ll set alight
I’m wishing with all of my might

Oh no, I never meant to let you down
I’ll wait with the state in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I’m trying not to fall apart
Never meant to let you down
I wait with the stake in my heart
Never meant to put you down
I’m trying not to fall
