Not for the weak in spirit or poor of eyesight

I am one of those people who often finds herself saying " I can do that!" I was one of the kids who watched olympic figure skating and then said "I can do that" My mother would of course take me to the ice rink and giggle in the stands as I attempted to skate on one foot with my other in the air, and the hillarity ensued as I discovered the danger of toe picks. These failures have never really curbed my go to attitude when it comes to trying new things and so it continues into my crafting. After recieving my fabulous creations from My little bit of whimsy, I felt the need to give Fimo crafting a try, I had some of this stuff left over from christmas crafts with my kids. So I set out to create some {what I thought were} simple creatures. Here is the result. I really like them, but oh my goodness a women could go blind doing this. These little guys are no bigger than a nickel and took me about 4 hours to create. I am working with flecks of fimo smaller than a pinhead. I am in awe of Stephenies talent and I bow to her patience and eyesight.


My favorite is the duck maybe cause he was the easiest, so it was the first to get used in this layout with my beautiful neice. I love that I finally get to play with a few of the girly papers that I have picked up along the way.

  6. These are adorable. Good job.
    I too am a "I can do that...I can make that".
    Which most times I can, but I say that about everything, sometimes its just easier to buy it teehee.
    So now my kids believe I can do anything. which isn't always a good thing :)
