Overboard?

So I kind of went a little blog crazy this past weekend. Mostly I got excited about my dragon, then I just decided I wanted to learn a thing or two about html code. My little brother (the genius boy) knows a bunch of stuff and he taught me how to make a whole page different colors. Hehehe, you'll excuse me if one day I've got posts of differing colors.
There are still lots of things I didn't learn, and some things which are eluding me at the moment, but so far I've learned enough tricks to be happy with.
My next endeavor, Zcode!

Yes Yummies

Yummies, yes yummies. I've decided to relabel any and all of my food related posts yummies. Admit it, It's a great word ... you know you love it!Except maybe I'll keep pizza as its own label. Have you noticed that I only have one post labeled with pizza? I know; pizza is the happy food of my soul so what gives right?
And now for some fun; food related adjectives that tickle me inside.

  • yummy :)

  • gooie

  • sweet

  • chocolaty

  • frosted

  • candied

  • marinated

  • glazed

  • honeyed

  • smoked

  • grilled

  • caramelized

  • fudgy

  • sugar-coated :9

  • powdered -- usually cheese and sugar, nothing else

  • chunky

  • crumbly

  • cream-filled

  • flaky

  • buttery

  • suckulant


mmmm Is that not the most delicious list of words you have ever read? I love words that sound like there meaning!
Hope this little post tickles your soul as it does mine. =D

Some Closure


Well here he is again, wings and all. I hope you weren't worried that he didn't have a face the last time; I like to wait til the end so it doesn't get destroied while I'm doing other stuff.

His wings and horns all came from the excess clay I got out of his tail. I know his horns aren't very impressive, but We'll say he's a baby dragon. =D

I'm not sure what color he should be once I get him baked, I only know I don't want him green.
Well now I think I'm off to do some blog organizing. That should give me hours of entertainment--or at least hours of something to do. XD

Dragon With The Tail

So today I am making a dragon. Ha! yes, after posting on facebook for suggestions as what to make; I went ahead and made a dragon anyway. The suggestions if you're interested, were cat, penguin, whale and giraffe, all of which I actually made just last week for the street fair. =D
I intended to make the dragon kind of small, and the ball I used should have done the tric. I guess he was a little too big though, because I have been gradually shrinking down his body by carefully squeezing it out in to his tail. Now he has a really long tail, but I'm not sure I'm done shrinking yet. I am going to take off his tail after I'm done with it and I might even have enough to give him a nice pair of wings.
Here he is after I've shrunken him some.


Check out that mongo tail of his. It's heavier than he is, and keeps pulling him down.

Here's one of his claws.

I am still working on making them sharper even though they will just get flat when i bake him.
I thought It'd be a good idea to wear the glove so there was a better contrast. I'll try to post a few more picks after he's done and has wings. =D TTFN!

Rootbeer Tastes Like Candy

Wow! So it has been more than a month since I have last posted anything. I know you all are wondering what is going on in my life, but actually there is almost nothing at all going on with me. I am no longer at school and I've had no luck yet finding my own little place. I am still searching though and I can't wait until it is my turn to leave the nest--for real this time. I have actually been doing a lot of reading, but sadly no writing because the charger to the machine i write with is missing. And saddest of all up until the end of last week I had done absolutely no crafting! ;( I do have some clay at my disposal now so that should last me for awhile. Well, I did say almost nothing. Yes, alas I have a few friends that I have hung out with over the past month and a half,and I am so very glad to have them. Last saturday was my school's anual street fair that they hold during homecoming weekend. I stayed over with a friend and got to see some people whom I hadn't seen since last May. It ended all too soon and I miss them, but I know I wil see at least some of them again sometime soon =D And essentially, that's what I've been up to. Sorry for the long time away, but it isn't much fun to report on nothing teehee. ttfn, I may yet have more to report later :0)
