Merging crafts, funny how that works

I got a few crafts uploaded this weekend. Beading and working full time sure does take stamina LOL. I also bake between the beading and clay crafting. I threw strawberries and blueberries in a bundt  pan and made one awesome cake .... The strawberries baked up nicely with a tarty flavor, which was a nice compliment to the super sweet blueberries. 
I am requested to make Onion Dill Bread, and Zucchy Bread this week. (Kids and Parents gotta love em!) My husband also is having is 48th birthday Tuesday..... I am thinking I will let someone else do the cooking  (OUTBACK here we come!!)  I am sure he wont complain LOL. 

I managed to finally incorporate a really cool 1960's brooch onto a picture frame. The brooch was missing a stone and I was lucky enough to have a exact fit in my scraping pile of craft supplies. The color was different but with a little imagination and a bit of fimo clay ( More baking !!), I am able to give one of my favorite shots i have taken a place to call home. 

I love the black and white photo with the 3D colorful frame .... This is now sitting proudly on my fire place mantel. 

I also got a few hours this weekend to play a little bit more with my clay.... Much to my surprise I am finding that Clay is also a new obsession along with the beading. The great thing about that is I can incorporate the two passions into one :) While I was making my cute little bananas, I messed up on a peel piece. I rolled it up to add to my save for later pile.... and noticed that it looked like a tiny rose bud ,,,,I was like hummmm a few green leaves and a hole .... BEAD !!!!!!!!! I was so excited on how these bananas and rose buds turned out I just had to share ..... I drove over to show my dad ..... He got a great laugh because they are so little .. but so detailed ...... He even dug through his tools and found me a little thumb drill to help keep the holes nice and clean ...... He says I need a MONKEY to really make this awesome ..... ( Note to self look for a monkey clay tutorial) ...... 

This week is going to be hectic between bread making and agenda items at work ... But I should be able to get a few more bracelets done for the upcoming ESTY shop ....I start designing my cards this week also... Still haven't decided on a name yet ,,, But I do have a few ideas floating around in my noggin. 
Once I have the inner workings done I will update here. I say bring on Monday I am ready ... CIAO
