Jonathon from is reminding us of something we love about our silicone moulds — they're food-safe, which means chocolate, fondant, candy melts, and more are absolutely fair game. 🤭

Today we browsed a few vintage markets, found some fabulous lil'decor pieces, vintage fabrics and on the way to the car a vendor was packing up. Cottage Joe found an amazing Vintage Adjustable Ball and Claw Foot stool 🤩

Its time to ask the masses!

Where are you setting your sourdough starter in between feedings?? I've been working on mine for over 2 months! Smells amazing & ye**ty, but No doubling in size just an inch or so of rise but always bubbly and also passes the float test so I know its active.

I looked it up and everything says its probably just not warm enough. Needs to be 75*-85* WHERE is it that temp consistenly ?? Not my oven unless I leave it on 🙄 I see everyone saying they leave theirs on their counter... I'm SURE their homes are not 75-85 degrees inside. Oh!!! ASKING FOR A DETERMINED FRIEND 🤣

🍂 We've been loving flower frogs lately and thought, why not make our own!

We used the IOD Sunflower Mould to keep it seasonal, painted it up, sealed it with UV resin, and tucked in some cheerful stems. The whole thing came together beautifully, and it makes us smile every single time we walk past it. 😍

Steps:

✨ Dust your IOD Sunflower Mould with cornstarch and press in your IOD Air Dry Clay

✨ Use the micro rim for clean edges, release and poke your stem holes

✨ Shape a paper bowl into a relaxed flower form and let everything dry completely

✨ Paint with your favorite FUSION Mineral Paint colors and add a little gold metallic on the petal edges

✨ Seal top and bottom with UV resin and cure

✨ Pop it on a glass jar or vase, drop in your stems, and voilà!

You know what stops me from posting ALL my videos that I continually record while working on projects?

THIS!! This right here... I know I have it, and honestly it's really the only thing on my over 60Yr body that gives me a big ol' sigh. The sags, the wrinkles, that never ending tired look I can handle.... I EARNED all of that. But this dreaded side/under b**b will be the death of me 🤣... give me a thumbs up if you FEELme!!

I usually paint in between customers, as one does when you're a one woman show running a store. I've had a vision for this Broyhill cabinet for a while and as much as I love my customers, it's so difficult to continually close my paint, wrap my brush mid stroke, making sure I don't leave a harsh stopping line, then wait over an hour or longer to try and start again, then repeat that process every day.

You do what you got to do being a creative small business owner... and It's been well over a month of those stop and go's, but today after I closed for the day, I was able to hunker down and actually enjoy what I was creating... of course talking to myself all along the way, hahaha, which decision making requires!

Here's the before and a little sneaky peek of what's in the works and I am LOVING it!! I'm about 90% complete with only touch-ups, clean-ups and final touches remaining! It's Fusion Mineral Paint Paisley, Putty, Tapestry, Antiquing Glaze and the IOD - Iron Orchid Designs Grisaille Toile Paint Inlay (with added hand-painting) topped with Fusion White Wax for the win!

This gorgeous lady will be available soon!
What do you think of this peek? 🧐👀
