Goofy Wiener Dog Giveaway

Okay, here's the deal...I made this weird, goofy wiener dog one day when I was feeling under the weather...the end result I'm not happy with...but I can't just throw him away. Instead I'm giving him away. Visit my facebook page at www.facebook.com/mirandascritters to enter by making a comment about the Goofy Wiener Dog Giveaway album.

Premo Polymer Clay Keychains

Sometimes when I need a quick clay fix, I'll dabble with tiny little crazy critters. Below are some of the crazy critter keychains that I sculpted last week but didn't find time to finish until yesterday. I'll be listing these little cuties in my etsy shop. I have to say, the little flying piggy is my favorite of the bunch :) Enjoy!

My son graduated from high school this past weekend. It's hard to believe how quickly time flies by. One day he was my little boy swinging from a tree branch (the point of time that he was appointed the nickname, Monkeyboy or Monkeyson) and the next, he's growing a beard, dating & setting his eyes to the horizon. I found a little time in the week before his graduation and ensuing celebration party to create a Graduation Monkey for my son. It had a spot right next to his diploma on the party table :) Enjoy!

My monkey son, Nate

Help from other bloggers

Hi all,

I just noticed that the gadget I used to show my Flickr photostream at the top of my blog no longer works. Anyone out there have detailed suggestions on how to fix it or use another gadget?

Thanks!

Where oh where does the time fly?

What? It's already mid March? I'm not sure where the 1st three months of 2012 went to but it seems like they just went "poof" and disappeared. And not that I'm complaining (well maybe just a little bit since I wanted to play in the snow), but where did winter go to too? It was around 80 degrees today here in Ohio. Weird.

Hmm...

At least I've been busy with my clay critters. Very busy. Some days my head feels like it's spinning with all the new critter ideas and orders that I've been getting. Not complaining there by any means :)

I did finally put my big girl pants on this year and submit two tutorials to Polyform Products for their use. One is an owl, the other is a cute dog. The dog was used in an online ebook by Polyform on their website. It may still be available at www.polyformproducts.com . Just search for the newsletter section.

I want to find a world map and start tracking where my little critters have went to live. Some have went to New Zealand, Australia, The Netherlands and all over the US. Looking forward to sticking a pin in the different locations.

I promise (with a shudder) that I'll do better updating on here. I'm pretty sure I've said that before..hehe. I'll be posting pictures soon as well of my current critters that I'm working on. In the meantime, feel free to check some of them out at www.facebook.com/mirandascritters or check out the critters I have listed for sale at www.mirandascritters.etsy.com .

Tootleloos!
