Just a short update :)

I had a happy Christmas. Did you have a happy Christmas? I'll assume you answered 'yes' and say 'good'. Anyway, it's that awkward time of year now when you have no idea what to do because Christmas is mostly finished and it's the New Year next week (and also my birthday!!!).

So, anyway, you may be happy to know my conjunctivitis decided to leave me alone without even spreading to the other eye like it normally decides to do :) In fact, it didn't even hang around for that long. Only for about two days. I guess not touching it really does help... Also, eating a load of immune system-boosting oranges helps too! (Sorry, teeth.)

Moving on to something slightly more relevant, it's about this time last year that I discovered polymer clay. My mum got my sister a jewellery making kit with polymer clay in it last year. Not very good polymer clay at all - most of it didn't go hard at all after we baked it and it's still pliable now. Anyway, my sister ended up getting all frustrated with it (she was only 8!) and I ended up gaining a jewellery making kit with polymer clay in it. lol. I was already in to jewellery making, but I guess making polymer clay jewellery with my sister was what really got me in to jewellery making. Soon after that, I managed to get my hands on some real polymer clay (well, it was Sculpey III polymer clay, so at least close to real polymer clay) and I started off by making a few charms and earrings. Then my favourite craft shop got Fimo Soft clay in!

My first polymer clay earrings lol :) I cut them in half when I was making them
with scissors because I didn't have a blade or a craft knife lol!

A few tutorials I'm planning on making:

• I'm going to make an updated version of my polymer clay Plumeria Flower tutorial. It's by far the most popular tutorial on this Blog! I think I could make a much better version of it now, though :)
• I'm also going to have a go at making a Plumeria flower cane, but I don't know if I'll make it in to a tutorial or not.
• More ear cuffs!
• I'm planning on making a dragon fruit cane, because I love dragon fruit but there is a severe lack of tutorials for the canes :D
• I'm currently going through an artistic-looking-earrings phase, so I'll be making a few tutorials on that.
• I want to make some 'Kawaii' style charms... I'm not entirely sure what, though.
• NYAN CAT!

(Btw, I know this is no longer a 'short' update!)

It's Christmas!

I'm so happy that the world didn't end yesterday. lol. Actually, it did kind of end for me because I got conjunctivitis! I HATE conjunctivitis. I would rather have a bad migraine or a cold. I've only had it two or three times before, fortunately it doesn't seem to get worse each time you have it. But it doesn't get better, either! So I'll be trapped at home for the next few days. It's so annoying and no matter how much I try to stop it, it always finds a way to transfer to my other eye. The good thing about it is it never seems to last very long, just  three or four days :) I can remember only having it for one weekend before (that was before I got glasses to help it transfer to my other eye though).

Anyway, rant over, as mentioned in the title, it's Christmas!!! And exactly a week after that, It's New Year's day AND my birthday! I'm going to be 17! I really can't believe it :) I feel so old! I'm going to be old enough to drive :D Oh yeah, and you did just read that right, my birthday is on the first of January.

So, anyway, I'll be making some special posts because I have the time now :) I feel like doing something to the layout of my blog, too. It needs something!

polymer clay Christmas Cake

The cake originally said 'Merry Xmas' on it, but now all you can see is the 'merry' part. lol.

Ok, tomorrow I'll be showing you how to make my very weird looking eye pins. :) I've not seen them like that before, so I'm hoping I've come up with an ooak idea lol! The only problem is, I've been having a few issues with my computer (again). Maybe my computer will behave tomorrow!

Polymer clay Biscuit style Christmas tree decorations

Bad quality ftw! (that stands for 'for the win' btw)

Yay! I'm getting more excited about Christmas everyday :D It's not like last year, I spent the whole time super depressed. Anyway, I had the random idea to make these :) I have no idea whether they've already been done or not. But I made them anyway because I felt like I was making ooak tree decorations.

Anyway... It's the 12/12/12 and NOTHING exciting happened. That's right. Just another day. Ugh :( I was expecting at least something to happen! It's kind of depressing to think about, though. To be honest, I wish something did happen. (Now I'm hoping someone will turn around and say "Oh, but something did happen...")

Christmas Lollipop jewellery :)

It's that time of the year now where everywhere you go is all Christmas-y and it takes about five hours to go shopping because there's so much people!

I know it's been done like a million times, but I decided to make some polymer clay lollipops :D

They're in Christmas colours :) Red, green, gold and translucent clay. I'm going to wear them on Christmas Eve, lol!

I haven't got round to making anything else yet, I've been a good girl and done lots of revising :)

I've decided to change the layout of the Blog, too :) I'm in a Christmas mood haha XD
