Finally updated my Etsy site yay

so guys I finally updated my etsy shop, if you have time check it out. These are little ceramic charms I made in class and turned into a necklace they are hollow shaped pinch pots with little rattlers inside so when you shake them they rattle..pointless but cute.

I am sooooo sorry for the length of time between posts lately, there really is so excuse....but my internet also has been very unpredictable and last weekend when I took photos and uploaded them I sat down to blog and I coulden't sign on to blogger!! Anyways I am getting used my new job as an ART TEACHER of kindergarten through 4th grade at trinity school in Midland. It is going very smoothly... I love it!!

3 reasons why I haven't posted granny # 10

Reason # 1

granny number 10 is ridiculous and not a true grann square, it does not crochet around the edges but diagonally...and it is not cute and hard!! So I have expelled it from the count down and I am working on # 11

Reason #2

my fiance and I made a frivilous purchase....we bought a Wii and it is really fun!!

Reason #3

I was making this!! for my new sister in law to be!!

it is 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas,

it is called "All in the Family"

the pics turned out a little darker than it is in person, it is also coated with many THICK layers or varnish

What do yall think?
