As we were checking out, the clerk patted the foam and said it was so pretty, it was a shame we couldn&#8217;t do something crafty with it. The Spousal Unit and I both smiled, and I explained that, in fact, this foam is going to become gravestones.\u00a0 We then got off on a tangent about arts and crafts, and she showed us her great earrings and bracelet set she&#8217;d made from polyclay.

These are from 2006. Having a shop in the garage makes things ever so much easier, but honestly, that&#8217;s the only thing I miss about living in that oversized house. I will find a way to manage these pieces in our apartment. Though I&#8217;ll probably make a massive mess doing it! Eh, that&#8217;s what vacuum cleaners are for.<\/p>\n<p>Though I plan on treating myself to a new hot wire knife, I&#8217;ll get going with the equipment I have.
