We All Scream for Ice Cream
5 Mar
Ice Cream Earrings
Yesterday was another mini-making extravaganza, and I put the finishing touches on a set of ice cream earrings, whipped up my very first barrette, completed a variety of lime earrings and a bunch of juicy, red tomato earrings, and started some fried chicken earrings. I’m still working on the texture for the chicken, but fingers crossed that I can figure out a way to make them look crispy-crunchy.
Mint Chocolate Chip Earrings
I’ve been toying with the idea of making miniature trees, after seeing a beautiful Crepe-Paper Spring Birds tutorial on MarthaStewart.com. My mom had a little, white Easter tree when I was in high school, and I absolutely loved the teeny, brightly colored eggs. Perhaps I could make one tree and sell sets of itty-bitty ornaments for different seasons/holidays.
Rainbow Bright Ice Cream Earrings
Today’s projects? Sandwiches, sandwiches, and more sandwiches: meatballs sub, croque monsieur, and roast beef sandwich earrings. If I have time, I’ll complete a pair of candy apple earrings, and start working on new lemon and grapefruit polymer clay canes. Whew. I’m definitely looking forward to having a day off after the show…before the madness starts all over again for April’s event. 
Whew, your to-do list makes me tired!! Best of luck to you getting all that done. Yesterday I was so burned out I ended up playing games almost all afternoon just because I couldn’t stand the thought of making one more thing… then we went out for an evening (very unusual!), and today I woke up refreshed. Thank goodness. Good luck good luck!!
Good for you for taking a well deserved break! I’m glad you’re feeling better today. I still haven’t quite figured out that part of working from home yet. With the exception of yoga and the occasional staggering, gasping attempts at running, I always feel so fidgety when I’m supposed to be relaxing. Not good. I’m still working on bringing some balance into my work day : / And to think I used to be so good at lazing around for days on end!
