haven't been claying.... I've been redecorating!! I've been re-doing my bedroom. This is the before. (I started taking things apart and realized I hadn't taken a before shot. Usually I have drawers in my nightstand :-) Just finished tearing out all of the carpet. I HATE carpet tack strip!! Layed down Pergo flooring. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! Painted the walls a dramatic color. Also, LOVE IT! (I did paint all of the switch plates to match) I'm thinking of doing something fun with clay, but it's still in the foggy, not quite a plan, stage. Originally we had a waterbed frame in here, with a huge headboard and we plunked a sleep number mattress into it. After taking that damn thing apart, AGAIN, to clear the room, I decided it wasn't coming back. I have a teeny, tiny bedroom and the extra 8 inches I gained by not having that headboard is very noticeable. In it's place I built this platform bed and made a headboard. The headboard is 4 separate pieces of foam ...

BUGS !!

I just thought this was one of the better commercials I have seen lately. Whether you are into the whole "hybrid" thing or not, if you appreciate the creative spirit, you will appreciate this.

These cute little bugs are going to be photo holders or business card holders. Obviously, they are not finished, the more dimensional paint I put on them, the more I want to put on them. (Please ignore all of the background clutter in the photos. I have finally figured out, that is just "how I roll".) And, Please meet Dilbert. He is very shy, but he is trying hard to over come it. He REALLY wants to make friends.

I've been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster the last few months and in t he last couple of weeks I hit a dip in the tracks, but I think I'm working my way back up. I got a nice surprise while I was "gone". A new blogger friend of mine, "The Crochet Cultist", bestowed upon me a very nice award. (My first and only) Thank you, Thank you for thinking of me! This is what it's all about: “This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.” Now, I have some decisions to make about where this lovely award will go next.......................

A birthday gift for a special young lady who is all about pink.

I recently made a lot of little cell phone charms. (Just felt the need) And I was trying to figure out a unique and interesting way to display them. I went out to my stash of twigs ( I use them to make fairy houses ) and found this lovely piece of driftwood. I thought I would try to make a "tree". I almost decided to leave it natural, but I had to use too many different colors of wire. So I ended up painting it a solid black. I like the way it turned out.
