Oh, and the most important thing happened today....the cable man installed cable in my room today. What? You expect me to craft without TV? What am I? A cavewoman? In all seriousness, sometimes I enjoy the quiet while I craft, sometimes I'm in the mood for music, but sometimes I just need to watch some Project Runway while I work. (Btw, have you been watching Bravo's Work of Art reality show about artists? I think I like it!)
Here's a little glimpse of what I was working on last weekend. I scoured all the Black Friday ads, and I was only interested in one thing; a toaster oven from Target for $20. I wanted it for crafting (of course) for baking clay. I never felt comfortable baking clay in the same oven that I use to make food (once in awhile). However, I wasn't willing to fight the crowds for a toaster oven. We happened to go to Target on Saturday afternoon. Low and behold there was one lonely toaster oven still sitting on the shelf. I swiped it and spent the rest of the weekend putting it to good use. It works great!
Did I mention that I'm not working on Fridays for the rest of the year? I love it when I end up with extra vacation days. I'm looking forward to getting caught up on some projects!

You can bake polymer clay in a toaster??? How? I wouldn't worry about baking it in your oven by the way, it's not a toxic plastic, but a toaster sounds like the way forward (my oven takes an hour to heat up!!)... You can also do stamping and embossing over a toaster, if you're so inclined!
Wow, I never considered using a toaster oven to bake clay before. What a terrific idea. I too have never used the oven to bake clay because it freaks me out. A toaster oven that I designate just to crafting- I just figured out what I want for Christmas!
