Long time no write!

As part of my getting back into the swing of things I decided my mannequin needed a make over.
I am really happy with how she turned out, and she is ready to wear all the new fun jewelry I have planned to make!

I do have a new member of the family, and her name is Jazlynn named after my Jasmine Kitty. She is crazy high energy and already thinks she runs things.
This is Jazzi doing what I call her road runner impersonation Jazzi Roadrunner
I haven't had a great deal of time to create this past year; however I have lots and lots of fun ideas in my head and I'm eager to start creating again.
I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone and getting back doing the things I love :)
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

while i was away...
Hi everyone!! Yep, I'm still here :) Life has been ..well... like life gets. So sorry for the absence. I did want to stop in and say HELLO! Missed everyone so much! And to let you know what I've been up to.
Other then just getting by day to day with life's little obstacles...I have also been creating. Not jewelry this time... I've taken my beading into a little different direction. Some place I never dreamed of going, but am so very glad I have.
I have ventured into doll repaints. What is a doll repaint? That's what I asked too the first time I heard it. Essentially you take a doll, strip her down to her base, remove her factory makeup, and if you would like.. remove her factory hair, eyes, what ever you want. And then you begin to recreate her.
That is what I did here. I took a liv doll. Removed her make up, removed her eyes, her hair. And replaced her eyes with new ones, changed out her hair and curled and styled a new do for her. Gave her honey bee wings, and an outfit completely created by hand.
And it was so so much fun! I've always had a love for fairies, so it really was so much fun to create my very own! I'm excited to create more and will be sure to share them as I do!
Again, so sorry for the absence and do hope to get to spend more time here as things settle down.
Much Love!

Fun Nails..
I love having my nails done. However (as all you beaders know) having nails can really get in the way, and can also be hard to keep when you work with your hands all day.
So I am going to attempt to commit to taking time once a week to do my nails in an attempt to keep them from breaking (crossing my fingers).
For any of you who haven't checked out the nail isle lately it has changed dramatically! Now you simple find the nails you want, and press them on. No, not the press on tips. Press on nail polish. So far my experience has been the more expensive they are, the worst they are. I know, doesn't make sense to me either. But I have tried three different types of the more upscale expensive brands, and they never stay on, my nails look terrible with in a day. If you can get them to stick on at all that is.
So I've went with the cheapest brand I can find, and I love them! They stick better, they last longer, and I like the selection more.
So here is this weeks! Although I did spend a little extra time with these. I polished my nails with a shimmery blue, and cut out the flowers. Still even with taking the extra time, I still finished my nails in less then 20 minutes including drying time. and now when I bead I get to look at fun nails versus broken chipped ones!
Okay.. enough rambling... here are this weeks nails (3 days after doing them) The blue polish didn't turn out as nice as I would have liked, especially for the brand it is, but other then that, I like them very much.
