Slacker.

I'm slacking. For real.

I haven't been crafting a lot.

I haven't been trying new meals.

All in all - I'm sucking at life right now. But it's for a good reason.

My SIL is visiting from California! *squeeee*
There's a 5 year age difference between the two of us, but I'm just immature enough that it works. And things have been pretty fun. Kyle and I attempted to prank her with saran wrap (NOT on the toilet) and it would've worked, if it hadn't have been for Kyle's cat. That was a huge disappointment.

And she's been ordered that she's not allowed back home without pierced ears.

THIS MEANS I CAN MAKE MORE EARRINGS WITHOUT BEING DISAPPOINTED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO WEAR THEM!

So then..I just had to make something.

Quickie: I Need To Wear These.

I found a new technique to use with polymer clay.



It's to make faux turquoise. Or at the very least, get something close to the look.

I tried it, and I was pretty pleased with the outcome. Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much.
Then I remembered I had some feathers in my craft room and..well...

These earrings have grown on me. So much. They aren't too big, they're perfect as a statement piece of jewelry.

At first, I was just "eh" about them.

Now? Now I need another silicone flesh tube so I can actually wear them.

Resin, take 3.

After my first post about resin, I tried it a second time.

My resin didn't cure. I was so mad.

The curing mistake was my fault, though. My resin needed to be at a warm temperature, which I forgot to do that time. However, I was discouraged and haven't done it again.

Until now!



Hey, a girl's got to have some rings, right?
