Overhaul! New year, New ... stuff.

I've decided this year will be my year to succeed, and part of that success is going to be to as active as possible in my on-line community. I voraciously read several blogs, surf Etsy all the time, and am a general web-head. However, I have never one commented on any post, item, or other comment, ever. Seriously, Ever. I just lurk around on my forums, reading everything, and never contributing. That is changing, today. I'm tired of being shy, of being self depreciating, and of being self judgmental. Why can't I save all those for other people? ;p
As you all can see, I have overhauled the blog, changing the name to more accurately reflect my on-line presence. It's also a shameless plug for my Etsy store, which is of the same name. I will be linking these two, and will be very active on both.

So, enough with the navel gazing, onto the Craft-sanity!

I have been obsessed with polymer clay lately. You can really do anything with it, jewelry, figures, and my favorite, knitting jewlery.
That's right, Stitch Markers! All kinds, colors, designs. All kinds! I've even made chocolate ones! Stitch markers that look like chocolates, Love It! (of course, all of these are available at  SaylorRaye Creates.
I've also been coming up with new color ways to dye, but haven't gotten a chance to, haven't had the kitchen space lately.
I'm working on my My Little Pony series, have RainbowDash done (see right), and next will be my ShutterFly colorway, all pinks and greens. I am so loving coming up with my own colors, it's so much fun. And easy, so Easy! just vinegar and food dye. That's all.  I don't know why more people aren't doing this, it's so much fun to be able to (hypothetically) control the color of your yarn! Maybe that's why crafting appeals to me so much, I have complete control over my end product. Hmmm... Not that anyone would think that I need control. No.... I'm definitely not what you would call a control freak. Hah!
