This is my latest altered altoid tin, I'm about three quarters finished. Usually when I'm working on the altoid tins I have my patterns and papers picked out before I begin but with this one I'm not sticking to form. I have seen other honey bee altoid tins and knew I wanted to do something …
I've been meaning to make some matched luggage sets from regular and mini altoid tins and I've finally gotten started on it. I've finished the first set and I think they turned out nicely. I'll be starting on more soon.

Just a quick update, I've got several new projects going on right now. My computer is down though, the hard drive crashed. So in the meantime I'm trying to share from my phone. Wish me luck. This is an afghan I'm working on, V-stitch, six colors in Super Soft yarn. So far so good. 🙂 …

I'm taking a class over the next few weeks on coptic book binding. I'm hoping to combine it with polymer clay book covers. I'm hoping they turn out.
This dragon egg was purchased from my shop and as I pack it up to ship it out to its new owner, I'm a little sad to see it go. It takes an incredible amount of time to make these beauties and it turns out I'm a little attached. I hope the new owner loves …
A horse is a horse, of course, of course...that is unless he's Fatty Lumpkin. Fatty is much more than a horse, he is a child's best friend. A friend of mine came up with that and suggested I use it in the description on Etsy, and I think I will. 🙂 I purchased the pattern …
