Back From Morrisburg

Good morning world!!!!!
Morrisburg is over for another year, darn. Had a marvelous time seeing old friends, meeting new ones. There is such an aura of friendship and sharing there. Margi and Vio do a marvelous job.
I do hope Cristine is doing well, she took ill on Sat night.
Now its back to work, I have 2 shows coming up in May. I really dont know what I was thinking,but whatever it was it must have seemed right at the time. BB2shoes taught us how to do the porcelain look and I think I will try that. Got some great Japanese patterns from Georgia,so will have to try them out. Sandy used a stamp that was on the grab table,I loved the effects, so will have to try that. So much to do and so little time.
I will have to do better at posting, there seems to be fewer hours in each day but I will try.
Have a great day!!!!!!

snow,snow,snow

Well seems like we are getting more darn snow this morning.Dh is blowing snow again so we can hopefully get out and go get some food. Not that we are out of food but the freezer is getting low.
I recieved a great surprise this week, the occupational therapist is coming to see me in my home next week. To help me with my hands, I have arthritus in my hands quite bad, they are beginning to really be painful and are beginning to be misshapen. Any way she is going to help me find easy ways to work, and find some good exercises. Yay!!!!
I am working on new jewllery for fashion show that is coming up in April. I said I could have ten pieces ready for them .What was I thinking!!!!! I takes me a little longer to get things ready but so far I have quite a few beads , just have to put them together and find a few new designs.
I will post some pictures of my new pendants when they are done. Have to get back to work now, have a great day!

Good Morning World!!!!!!

It is a great day even if it's snowing(still) We went shopping yesterday,which entails an hour and a half drive. However the day was great, no snow and the sun tried hard to shine. I had a gift certificate for Michaels so that was one of the first places we stopped. They had findings on sale for less than half price so loaded up on some. yahoo!! The clay was on sale for $1.49,so got some of that too. Now I 'm ready to get to work. I have this idea rolling around in my head for a pendant so will try and see if it works.
I hope all the ladies attending Sojourn will have as great a time as we do at Morrisburg!!!!!!! Have a wonderful time!

I'm back!!!!!!

I haven't posted in a very long while. Been busy with Christmas shows , then Christmas itself and then we went to Cuba for a month. Had a wonderful warm time. Came home to all this snow and cold!!!
I am now ready and eager to get claying. I have a few shows lined up so I have get busy creating. If only I could decide what. I have to have several sets ready for April, I'm participating in a fashion show, so the jewellery should be a little showy I think. And I have a two week show in July so I need quite a bit for that, There are a couple of others I am going to enter as well, hopefully I will be accepted. First before I start claying , I think I will try and tidy my studio. A major job in itself. I know I'm procrastinating , but it still needs to be done. So off I go to start cleaning.

"Tess" my new Art doll

We are having a gorgeous day here,although it did start out snowy. I delivered my new artdoll "Tess" and some new jewellery to the Art Gallery today. One more show tomorrow and then I'm finished, literally. I had thought of putting some things in the show in Haliburton but I wont be here when I have to collect them. " Tess", my new art doll, is only about 6 inches high, and she was quite a challenge, working that small. I have to get ready for tomorrow so will finish a few pendants and maybe another little art doll. She is half finished so hopefully I will get her done.

My Show

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!! My first 3 day show was a huge success for me!!!!!! As BB2 would say I'm chuffed!!! Our show was held kind of out of the way but the people found us. There were 8 of us and we each did something different. I made 4 sales before I had unpacked. There is another show next weekend for 2 days at the same place. . I have a show on the 17 and perhaps one starting on the 21 . I wont have to be there for the last one though, they will take a commission. Not sure if I will do that.
So I am busy claying and making jewellery, have to get busy on the Ornament swap and the Winterfest gift. I need another pair of hands.
A lady dropped the lower half of my secretive woman on the cement floor!! There wasn't a mark on it. Whew!!!! The lady nearly had a heart attack though. So off to clay!

Back from the Studio

I have been chained to my clay table for the last 10 days and haven't posted. Today I am done whether I am ready or not. We have to go tomorrow to the granddaughter's for Halloween, we have done that since she was born. We wander the street with her and enjoy her reactions.
Today I will finish what ever needs finishing and pack up everything for the show. I had originally thought that it was a one day show on two different week ends, now I find out it is five days over two weekends, yikes!!!!!!
Sure hope there is enough stock!
I have 4 girls in progress, they are small copies of what Gera taught us. I used a small liquor bottle , like the ones you get on an airplane. So far haven't been able to get the faces right, the girls aren't co-operating. I did start the Christmas ornaments, so far have only 5 done. Have to work on that next week. I really don't know where the time goes!!!!! It seems to go faster the older you get.
I was up early today, thanks to Sam, my cat, who decided at 5 am that he needed food. He walks all over me or chews on the electrical cord, he knows I'll spring out of bed for that one. That's not a pretty sight!! So here I am trying to get caught up with some posting. I am off now to finish some beads.

Saturday, October 20./07

Its kind of a miserable day here , again. Well at least it isn't snowing. I have been doing some claying today, doing more glasses and a small art doll. She's giving me quite a fight with her face though. I will just put that away now and just get some clay ready for the dress.
I'm waiting for my sister to get here so wont be doing anymore clay till tomorrow night.It will be good to spend time with her. Have to get back to my clay.
