Polymer Clay Bowl

05/29/2012

Well, not like I needed another addiction (I'm trying all kinds of new things lately), but I've finally ventured into the realm of polymer clay.  How have I never used this before??  It's inexpensive, easy to work with, and feels just like playing play-dough from way back when. :) This project was ...

Etched Martini Glass

05/28/2012

Good morning!  Happy three-day weekend to my U.S. friends, and a huge thank you to our military service men and women.  It's Memorial Day here, which has me thinking of my Grandpa who served in Korea.  That man told a story better than anyone else.  I really believed he had a blue dog named Ralph ...

Beaded Leather Cuff

05/21/2012

I have a nice simple jewelry project today.  I think I'm wrapping up my leather kick... maybe.  But the 2-pack of cuffs I picked up at Hobby Lobby was just screaming, "bead me!" so I had to find a way to make it happen. :)  (If you read here often, you'll recall that I braided the first one - ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
