I finished two more pinatas. The spider and a pumpkin. Look at this creepy picture of the spider’s face. I really did find pictures of spiders with eyes all over their heads. GROSS!Here is the finished pinata. As I’ve mentioned before, shipping the pinatas is a problem. I made this spider so his legs can be unattached for shipping and the customer can quickly attach … Continue reading The Sweet and the Creepy
As promised, here is more of the piñata list. I got as far as number eight. Number 8: The wedding cake is done and for sale in our ETSY shop. Number 9: Mark’s owl is almost finished. Isn’t it adorable? For some reason, I think he should be wearing tennis shoes. Number 10: Paula’s owl. Poor thing is still in pieces on the table downstairs. … Continue reading 20 Piñatas…Continued
Haha. Pinata… Busted. Nice play on words. Nope, I didn’t win the 20 Pinatas in 20 days challenge. Good thing it was just something I made up. I do think it could be an interesting reality TV show, though. Even if I didn’t meet my goal, I feel I accomplished a lot of what I wanted to do. First off, my daughter told me I … Continue reading Pinata Challenge..Busted!

Then I painted some black … Continue reading It’s Not Easy Being Orange

You can’t see a lot of progress looking at the piñatas, but we’ve been busy getting ready to decorate and put together the last five piñatas. The latest addition to the 20 piñata list will be … Continue reading Piñata Challenge Day 6 and 7
Paste, paste and more paste. I pasted for hours again today. Tomorrow I’m going to take a break and start on the decorations. That will be fun for me and a little more interesting for the blog than pictures of shredded newspaper. The Perfect Pumpkin Shape We’ve been brainstorming how to get the perfect pumpkin shape. We started with a punch balloon. They have a … Continue reading Day 5 of the Piñata Challenge
After several hours this is what I had on my back porch. About the Burrito A while back I picked up a couple of very sad reindeer from a clearance rack to ‘upcycle’. Mark thinks I’m cheating, but I think I’m saving the environment. Here are the little reindeer before I started my torture. Only one will become a burro. I’m going to make a … Continue reading 20 Piñatas in 20 Days – Day 4
