0 What's Up Wednesday 3/11/15 (Twisted and Troublesome Friends, Lisa Wingate and a Mermaid)

 What's NEW???  Well, there is a new Lisa Wingate book coming out soon!!  I am so excited!!!  Just look at the cover art....

....this is the 3rd book in a series, but let me tell you, you can read them along just as easy!  They are all great books!!  You do know that she is my ALL TIME favorite writer, right?!?!  Keep a watch out, I'll be doing a review and then a give-a-way as we get closer to the September release....but you can always click on it and PRE-order it now....it will be worth it!! :) 

Just look at what I did last night! I was able to work on my strap!!  Like it?  I just love the way the beads are going together! Remember, you can come over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day.

Just look at both of these great creations!! They would be great for spring or summer! 

Yesterday I was able to introduce you to Ms. Leeza (Lee-zah) the designer owner of Twisted& Troublesome Friends.  Today I get to tell you more about her, and her beautiful creations!!

Like many artist that are self taught she started out with something small and 'easy'.  Here is what she says about it;  My first piece I named "Thy Slug." It was a yellow sausage type thing with little spikes stuck to it. It broke after I took it out of the oven from baking.  And now when I look at her creations I think - how far she has come!! 

I think that personally one of the things that draws me the most to her little cuties is their expressions.  She has worked really hard to get the 'eyes' just right and then you see the 'tongue' hanging out and it just makes me smile!!  I, for one, am so glad that she has kept up her passion and that we get to look at these little creations - and for some of us we are lucky enough to own one!! 

Here are a couple of my favorites!!

Remember to go check out her page (and let her know where you heard about her) and watch for future creations!

5 Talented Tuesday 3/10/15 (Twisted and Troublesome Friends, Blue Peacock and Pizza Pockets!)

 

Last night I wanted to try something I saw on Facebook!!  So, here is my attempt at mini - personal - pizzas......

And, other than messy, I have to say, they were really good....and the kids LOVED them!! They are even taking the extras for lunch today!! OK, MOMMY WIN!!! :) 

These two aren't new, but they are wonderful!!  I have to tell you that the first bracelet seemed to catch everyone's eye at the show!!

 

I didn't get much done yesterday, but here is where I left off.  Remember, you can come over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day.

This one has ended, but if you like these cases, please keep watching.  I have 3-4 more to give-a-way.  Click on the photo to see if it was you that won!!

Today I have a great artist to introduce you to!  Ms. Leeza (Lee-zah) the designer owner of Twisted& Troublesome Friends.  Unique name?  Well, here is what this unique artist said about it - it suits the quirky charisma associated with my work - and that it does!!

The detail in each of these little one's are simply amazing!  They all have great expressions (you can almost 'see' what they are thinking)!  She uses Polymer Clay which gives her more ability to 'mold an sculpt'.  And from start to finish she is very 'hands on'! 

Having only been making these amazing creatures for just about a year it has been a wonderful learning experience for her. Learning on her own from kits and videos she is always working to perfect her skills.  

Here are a couple of her favorites...come back tomorrow to learn more about her and to see my favorites!!

 

Make sure you visit her page....and let her know where you heard about her!
