Today I woke to find myself in a number of collections on ArtFire. It always gives me a little thrill to know my work has been looked at and considered worthy of inclusion. Thank you to the wonderful folk who have recently used my pieces in their wonderful collection, even if only as an alternative!

Sunday Shopping Spree - Feb 27th
I decided my blog needed a little revival, a little attention. Step one is a new weekly feature called Sunday Shopping Spree. What I am going to do is showcase some fabulous online shops and sellers that I think everyone should go visit. I am very lucky to call a lot of great artisans my friends, and this will be my way of showing them how great I think they are.
This week is a very talented single mum known as Aislinn Marie. She happens to have a couple of ArtFire studios, Serenity Grove and Aislinn's Erotic Jewels. These are both wonderful shops with lots and lots of eye candy. At Serenity Grove you can find a range of handmade soaps, bath salts and lip balms, along with lots of pendants, magnets and stunning chainmaille creations. At Aislinn's Erotic Jewels there is a fabulous range of chainmaille pieces and pendants, many with a BDSM theme. I am always really impressed with the growing talents of this lass, and really urge you to check out what she has available. To whet your palate here are a few of her pieces.

Let's Begin!
Here we are again, at the beginning of a new year, full of promise and possibility. And I am supposed to be writing a blog post about 'Beginnings' and every time I begin I get stuck.
I cannot decide which Beginning to go with. The Beginning of Life, the Beginning of a new project or the Beginning of the End. In the end I decided that I suck at Beginnings.. so I am going to show you some fabulous items from three Smoosher's ArtFire studios and suggest you begin a new collection of amazing Polymer Clay creations for yourself... :P

Gratitude
For my first new blog of the year I decided to do a little piece on Gratitude. There are many things to be thankful for in this world, some are small, almost insignificant things, like paperclips. Others are big things, like love.
This blog is about a few things I am especially grateful for, and to make it even more fun I made a little collection of items created by some of my favourite artisans to illustrate my post.
So here we go...
1) I am grateful for ArtFire. If I had not found ArtFire almost two years ago I would not have made some of the amazing friends that I have now, nor would I be experiencing such a major boost to my creativity.
2) I am grateful for coffee. Let's face it.. I would barely make it through the day without a regular supply!
3) I am grateful for chocolate. Yes, pretty obvious really. I know my kids are grateful for chocolate too.. it has saved their lives on more than one occasion! LOL
4) I am grateful for lemons. Yes, I said lemons. I like lemons. I like lemon scent. I like lemon flavour. I also like oranges. Actually, I like citrus in general.
5) I am grateful for butterflies. They are pretty, and interesting and they can fly. To me they are the closest to fairies in the 'real' world...not that I'm saying fairies don't exist..because they do....
6) I am grateful for wood. There is something about wood that draws me in. The smell, the feel, the endless possibilities.
7) I am grateful for seed beads. Let's face it, I use them a lot. It really is amazing what can be done with a tiny donut of glass with a hole in it.
8) I am grateful for copper. I love the look, the feel, everything. It is frankly one of my most favourite metals ever!
9) I am grateful for wire. I know I mentioned copper specifically, but wire is important to me too. I am forever grateful of the day I decided to play with wire, especially in terms of turning wire into chainmaille rings.
10) I am grateful for Amethyst. Amethyst is my birthstone and has always had major significance to me. It is the reason I love purple so much.
11) I am grateful for Polymer Clay. The day I discovered Polymer Clay changed my life forever. It has led to me expanding my talents in unforeseen ways and brought me some of the most amazing friends a girl could wish for.
12) I am grateful most of all for love. My children, my man, my mum, my grandpa and my friends give me more love than I ever thought possible, and for that I will forever be grateful.
