It's tough to only name one thing, I have such a big wishlist!
I'd really love to have my own kiln sometime, it's the only item on my wishlist that I'm not sure if I would ever get.

My husband and I are working on setting up a shop on etsy, hopefully sometime near the end of the year.
Currently we're just getting ready and selling locally in person where ever we find we can set up.
I'd love to hear any tips for once we get going selling online.
We both have been reading and doing research, but nothing helps more than hearing experiences from people that are already set up. Once we are ready we thought of starting a giveaway to draw some attention. It won't be easy but we want all the products we sell to be customized so that everyone can have what they would like.
Right now we only have jewelry, earrings and necklaces, but we're adding in some decorated bobby pins soon and have lots of ideas of different things we'd like to add over time.
Hobby Lobby and Michaels are my go to stores, they're close to me and I just use the 40% off coupon each time or wait for the 50% off sale for what I'm after. I've gotten to know the store manager at both locations and they know my husband and me very well now.
Hello to everyone!
I love being creative, what crafts I havn't tried yet I want to. I enjoy learning new skills and the harder it is to learn the more I enjoy challenging myself with it. I started with origami and while I didn't understand what I was supposed to fold at first that just made me more focused and once I got it I started going smaller and smaller.
My favorite thing to do is miniatures, I love the challenge of working small but keeping in all the details you can.
Inspiration for ideas can find you anywhere so I always keep a notebook and some pens with me where ever I go, and it's filled with projects. Some I have done, others are waiting to be finished.
I'm planning out some small figures to make, and I've seen some creations that have tulle added into the creation.... would I be able to bake that in since it would be such a short time, or would I have to make a spot for it and glue it in after?
I'm going to be using seed beads for the eyes of these ones, something I havn't done before and I am excited to create these. I would love any ideas of other things that I could mix with the clay before it gets baked.
This is going to be a special project, and any tips shared are very much appreciated, thank you!
I love it, I have the first 2 seasons on DVD and keep watching for more episodes.
I have so many favorites, but this is my newest favorite quote
"It's only impossible if you stop to think about it."
I don't know if this helps, but you could try making your own graham crackers.
I havn't tried to do that yet myself, but here is a recipe for them.

I'm looking for a pattern to make a zoot suit for my husband, but all I can find in my search is already made ones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
I was going to post a version of a project I found around halloween, but it turned out badly and I didn't want to redo it so I was going to delete it but it wont delete and it's listed in my projects 3 times.

I found it was good to practice with highlighters. They have the same tip as the felt caligraphy pens and are much cheaper.
Very messy, and supplies and half finished projects are all around my room. Yet I seem to be able to find everything I need or want quickly unless I havn't used it in a few years.
I've never gotten any comments on what I've created before so I never thought anything of it, except more recently with my mini origami, I like to do that when I'm bored and I tend to get people crowded around me staring at the cranes I make when I fold them during my break at school.
I have a scar by my ear from a spider bite, it seems I'm allergic to them.
