Here’s part of a custom cane request I had for some school/state colors and symbols. This paw turned out really well. I just wish all of the available polymer clays haven’t gotten so soft. It really makes caning a challenge. Even Kato is going to be softer. Pooey !

Stay tuned for the next cane, it’s going to have a palmetto tree ! Hopefully ……..

Back in the saddle again……

Hi to any one reading this! (I know, I have but a few readers)

Yet again I have let this blog slide to the side. Things here are finally starting to calm down some. The doctors finally found out what was wrong with Brian, acid reflux and a high hernia of all things ! Who knew that a hernia would make you so very nauseous ? Well, we do now! He’s on some meds for it and is feeling much better now. He was finally able to go back to work last week. Thank god! We are really tired of dealing with the disability insurance and the doctors. It’s over…. almost. Surgery has been mentioned for the hernia.

Myself, on the other hand, was sick as a dog last week due to a mix-up with my meds with the insurance company. They denied my prescription due to they prefer that you take a generic brand at all times. Well, I’ve been on this particular medication for 3 years and NOW they want to make a fuss….sheeeeessh! My doctor got that straightened out for now.

I do have some more good news ! I got a request for a particular cane with our SC college teams colors. It’s to have a palmetto tree as the design in the middle, with each being surrounded by the team colors. It shouldn’t be that hard to do, I hope. Also I mentioned to requestor that a Clemson paw would be great too. I know that will sell around my area! So, I’m going to work on that too. This is going to be interesting….and fun I hope

Until next time…..

Well, I did it again. I went and left this blog out in the cold. It never fails, Life gets in the way and eventually, something is just forgotten about. Life has certainly been in my way for the last couple of months. My husband has been sick from Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, virus’, and an abscessed tooth caused by the dentist leaving part of the last tooth pulled in his gum. He was in so much pain, he passed slam out and scared the crap out of me. On top of all that, I threw my back out at the same time Brian had the tooth problem. Sheesh, is it any wonder I forgot about the blog?
Well, I’m back (again) and promise to try to post something at least every other day. If anyone has suggestions for topics, I’m all ears Thanks for being patient.

Time to vote again in the PCAGOE monthly challenge

I surfed on over to Stormy Designs, a friend’s Etsy shop ,today to see what she’s been up to lately. Well , I know what’s been on her mind, Spring ! I don’t blame her, all this cold weather has me wanting it too. Look what caught my eye while I was there……..

I was checking out some of the PCAGOE (Polymer Clay Guild of Etsy) members listings on Etsy and I came across Mosiaco Decor. I have got to say that she has the most beautiful light switchplates that I have ever seen. I’m having a very hard time picking a favorite, but if I had to, I would say it was this one

Isn’t it just beautiful? And to think that it’s polymer clay!!! There are so many things you can do with this stuff, I LOVE IT !!!!

Go check her shop out, I bet you’ll find it hard to pick a favorite one too

This polymer clay pendant was made by Stormy, of StormyDesigns. I love the shades of blue in it. It looks like she’s gotten the wire wrapping down too. She has recently put her work in a brick and mortar gallery also! Congrats Stormy!!! Check her shop out on Etsy too!
