I just bought my second pasta machine this time with a motor and I love it. It makes conditioning the clay so much easier, even without the motor. I bought mine from http://www.consiglioskitchenware.com I bought the atlas 180 and the universal motor. they currently have a manual pasta machine for $19.99, it's not an atlas but it would be a good beginner machine to see if you like working with one. They have excellent customer service, the day i purchased mine i went back to check on something and noticed the price had dropped by $10 so i emailed them and they refunded the money right away!

those are great!

for those of you looking for tiles i bought a body mat in chinatown and took it apart. i now have jillions of tiles. i have made a lot of things with the tiles and haven't even made a dent. i will never have to buy bamboo tiles again. lol

great job those lips are beautiful, i love glitter! i have a lip resin mold and made a pendant out of it too. i used hot pink mica powder mixed into the resin and they were so shiny and bright, i loved 'em. a friend of mine picked them up last week and her little girl put it on immediately, she looked so cute.

i bought my mica powder in the sample pack that has a bunch of little plastic tubs of different colors. if you are near a hobby lobby this week would be a good time to snag them because they have the 40% off coupon this week. the pack costs about $25 before the coupon. they will last a long time cause a little powder goes a long long way. and the powders can be used in a ton of different ways. mixed with translucent polymer clay makes a really beautiful end product.

great job i love all the colors and it looks like you did a ton of work. your friend is very lucky to have you. It is all so beautiful!! i hate pastels too, i like bright colors that pop and you captured that perfectly. wanna come do my room? 

that is one adorable baby too, i could just gobble up all that sweet bun fresh out of the oven cuteness. i especially love her name. we are planning to try for another kiddo and if it's a girl her name will be chloe.

you did a great job and you are the greatest daughter a daddy could ever hope for!! i was so close to tears reading that story and i love that you did so much work to help your dad. *big squishy hugs* for you and your dad. 

I love that cupcake fabric....

I wonder....I bet you could put a split ring on a ribbon and sew it into the seam allowance for the short sides, basically the last seam you do before turning it...then you could carry these on your keychain...

oh good idea i think i'm gonna try and add one.

i love the last one.

here is a link for creating your own.
