And now for some Sculpey creations...

My daughter really enjoys making things with Sculpey. Lately there's been a penguin theme. Here are few pictures. I believe one of the penguins is named Ducky.



Before the penguin craze, she made a wonderful mini version of her doll Taryn. Here are some photos of mini Taryn and accessories. Sorry, one of the photos is a little blurry.






She has also made a present for Auntie Anne. I don't know how well this one will travel so here's a picture in case it arrives in pieces. Should have cropped that one.


Now the last item is something I made a couple of years ago when I was still trying to keep the tooth fairy fantasy alive. Her head is made of Sculpey, her body is a pencil, her dress is tissue paper and her wings are saran wrap. The plan was to crawl into the bedroom waving the tooth fairy above my head while I switched the tooth with money. It turned out to be a three handed job but fortunately the intended audience did not wake up. The tooth fairy used to have a little bag for the tooth but it was left behind during the mission. I found it weeks later and decided not to keep it but the fairy has been sitting in the pencil jar for years. Occasionally her head falls off but I haven't been ready to throw her out yet.

That's some fabulous Sculpey work! My creations always look like they've been made by blind-folded apes. I'm going to have to practise more.

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Cookie Jar

My sister Anne discovered some retro cookie jars recently and one of them reminded her of the one that was in our house when we were growing up. A search of the archives has turned up this photo. You can see our actual cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I remember taking this picture and thinking that the contents of the cupboard would be interesting to us in the far distant future.
