Cute Polymer Clay Beads!

Have you ever wanted to make your own cute beads? Apparently polymer clay is the way to do it! I tried my hand at these yesterday and finished lacquering them this morning. I am so happy with them! Of course I am a novice (probably always will be at this craft), but I still feel like it's an achievement to make them.

My Etsy Shop

Well everyone, my etsy shop is finally up and running. I was encouraged by a close friend and felt it was time to do it. I have been waiting patiently for a sign, hehe.


I have crochet chokers and earrings up in my shop at the moment. Here is a link to it with my new banner:

New Lily Pad Cross Choker

I wanted to show you guys a new crochet chain I came up with for this choker I am going to sell on etsy. 

The chain has picots and freeform solomon knot's along a foundation chain. I crocheted rings at the each end of the chain to tie a green ribbon to for fastening. 

Toasted Earrings Pattern

I made these earrings for a swap-bot.com swap I entered called 'Ode To Toast'. I am also making a squeaking toasted keychain and a dishcloth to send. Enjoy these wacky earrings guys!

Summer Blossoms Lineup!

Hey all,

I have been out of touch for the past few weeks and decided to give you an update on my latest work.  My aunt-in-law just opened a salon where she lives and asked family if they wanted to put their stuff in it to sell and I tried my hand and making crochet jewelry. This is what I came up with!

Summer Blossoms Jewelry
By: Heavenly Stuffed

I worked on all of it for about a week in a half. Making time for it was almost pointless, but well worth the effort. I am pretty burnt out from the experience and ready to make amigurumi again, ha ha! But I will make more jewelry soon, just need a break is all.
