What's Cooking? Earrings and Soap, Of Course!


My kitchen has been getting a workout lately but there's been no food in sight...
Abbey has been creating "Abbey's Treasures," a line of glycerin soaps she's been making and selling recently. You'll see samples in the rotating slide-show on the right. She's quite the entrepreneur particularly for an 8-yr old!
Last night I baked up a pair of earrings... Kenneth said they're great - if you're a hippie. I'm no hippie but I do like the fun and playful feel to them. The polymer clay was baked prior to the wire and earring parts being added. I enjoy the creative outlet jewelry making gives me. It was a nice transition from the loom-knitting once the weather got too warm to think about scarves!
It's not very fashionable but one of my favorite projects was decorating a vase filled with beach sand and mountain rocks from California that Ken brought me a few years ago. I used beads to convey my take on the ocean and mountains. Basically it (the vase) has a double-strand necklace. Wow, that really sounds off-the-wall. Maybe I'm getting too carried away with all of this. Oh well...
Here's to Creativity!
