Sculpting - Part 1

I love to make crafts, especially small ones. A while back, I had started making some 1 inch tall, miniature clay puppies for a board game. After a while it morphed into simply making them for fun. My favorite type of dog is a Westie (West Highland White Terrier.) Here are the four that I made...














pink bandanna puppy...














blue bandanna puppy from the back...














green bandanna puppy (my personal favorite) ...














yellow bandanna puppy (so you can see the size.)

I'm hoping to try to sell a few of them, but I have to figure out all the specifics.

Three Cake Birthday/ Color #2

I had an unusual birthday this week... Three Cakes! First of all, my considerate father, who is not exactly a whiz in the kitchen, (no offense dad), toiled away to make me a lemon cake. Thanks Dad!

Secondly, a friend of mine from church heard that it was my birthday, and made be a chocolate cake with mnm's. I was really surprised. She is so sweet. Thanks Shelly!

And last, but not least, another friend of mine, this time from my homeschool co-op made me a cake. It was more like a bar, with tons of chocolate chips! Actually I think her mom made it. So, thanks also to Julie and her family!


And now... Today's Color... Orange!

Stay tuned for color #3!
