Stay Golden

What a sad day......Bea Arthur is no longer among us. At 86, I suppose that she lead a very full life. I don't know why it's so upsetting to me, but it is. I just saw her on a Comedy Central Roast not that long ago it seems, and she was funny as ever. The Golden Girls was one of the best shows ever made. RIP Dorothy, you will always be Golden.





On a happier note, the Deck Out Your Yard Swap is officially open. I did change the name to Deck Out Your Outdoor Space. If you live in a condo you probably have a greenspace, or in an apartment you probably have a balcony, so I didn't want to exclude anyone if they didn't have an actual yard. I have yet to fill out my questionaire, I have to decide what I want! :)








I am working on some ying yang buttons in pottery, and so far, I think they will be pretty awesome. I may use the word awesome a little too much but hey, I'm a product of the 80's! I also keep meaning to incorporate embroidery into my pottery. For the embroidery swap I made an embroidered pendant from polymer clay:
which I also posted on craftster, and got positive remarks. I'm thinking some sort of vase or serving platter? Maybe using rope or twine so it's more durable? So many ideas...
