Summer

Yay, it's the summer holidays! Six weeks (well now five weeks) of summery fun! Of course, I absolutely hate  hot weather and end up wasting lots of sun cream because I'm so paranoid about skin cancer...

Anyway, it was my sister's birthday last week :) She's nine now. (Yeah, there is actually a seven year gap between us... I don't appreciate that.) I made her a necklace out of wire that had her name on it. I also made a charm bracelet.

Here's a picture I took of the charm bracelet on my NEW camera! ;D

I made a close up of this cake charm, because I managed to actually put her age on it. I worked hard on the flower, to! Anyway, I assumed that most people do know how to make polymer clay cakes by now seeing as there's so much tutorials on how to make them.






By the way, I love making those little polymer clay plumeria flowers. They're beautiful and really simple to make. I'm planning on making a slide show style tutorial (I'll explain why I can only make that style video in future) to show how to make them.

Anyway, (caution: moving away from subject) the Olympics started yesterday :). As a British girl though, I found the opening ceremony a little disappointing :( I'm not sure what I was expecting exactly, but it just seemed a little... well... disappointing that they put seven years in to preparing for the Olympics, and this was all that happened. I guess I'd like to know that the Chinese think so far because they had the Olympics last time. They probably came expecting something similar to what they did... And when they leave they'll know a little bit more about British history... lol.

Personally, I've been worrying about the terrorist threats... They keep saying about the security on the news and it's really bugging me.

Anyway (before I over use the word 'anyway' anymore), I've been playing Sims 3 lately and forgetting to update this! I ought to make a Sims 3 blog or something. In fact, I probably will at some point seeing as I gave up using the Sims 3 website so long ago.
