~*NEEDLE TATTING!*~

I finally just learned how to needle tat flowers and a lace trim!
I am so excited!!!
~*YAY!*~

I'm doing it on a miniature scale for miniature napkins to go with my miniature cakes and cookies!!!!

The size of a US dime-

The polymer clay cakes etc. are pictured with a US dime (10 cent coin) to show size.

For those who are not in the USA, the size of a US dime is-

Diameter	17.91 mm  (0.705 in)

I should post them next to a measuring tape or ruler for better understanding of scale.

100% Polymer clay! 100% smaller than a US dime.

This is CLAY

~*My Wonderful Birthday Brooch Gift by, Pat Winter!*~

Each year I like to order a colorful and cheerful piece of jewelry made by one of my art friends for my birthday. A few days ago I wrote to Pat and asked her to create this little beauty for me.
She made it right away and my heart is delighted by how CUTE she made it!

Isn't it wonderful?

And it is filled with such a calming scent of dried lavender.

Although my birthday is not for another month, I will start wearing this sweet doll right away!










~*Thank you SO much Pat!!!*~
