Well it was a really rainy day here today and now its chilly. A good day to do some claying. I have been working on some new bracelets, the original design is Helen Breil's, it was in the latest edition of Art Jewelery, I believe. I have also been working on genealogy, getting everything ready for our family reunion. It's my job to send out the invitations and I have done that . I printed a bunch of books for the family , some genealogy charts that take our family back to 1500.
I am having a hard time getting motivated to clay, my muse is on vacation I guess. I think I might try some face canes, not sure what I would do with them but its a start. I almost forgot I made my first transaction on e-bay today and I won the bidding! Yay! Now to see how quick it gets here.
Have a great night!

Twice in one day!
Hi again,
My pictures didnt show up so I will try again. These are my latest endeavor, miniature veggies on a clay tile. A lot of work but I enjoyed it.

I'm back!!!
Good morning!!
What a beautiful day today!! The sun is actually shining , for now anyway. I have'nt been keeping this blog up like I should . However I am feeling much better and my studio is finally spring cleaned. I like it much better this way, its easier to work in.
I have been working on doing miniatures, which isnt my forte but it is addicting. After I spent hours doing research , I really enjoyed making them. I made 4 tiles for a friend, they have tiny vegetables on them. I had to hunt all over the internet to get the right colors for them , I now have a ton of vegetable pictures.
I now have to get busy and make some new jewelery for the Artisan's Marketplace and for the show this summer Art in the Village.
I am posting pictures of my finished tiles . Hope you like them.

Happy New Year Everyone!!
Hi everyone,
Well its hard to believe that another year has come and gone. A lot has happened over the year some really good and some not so good. Right now my son is back in Kandahar but at least he got home for Christmas! For that I am thankful.
I will be on holiday for a month and will likely not be posting, not that I am that punctual anyway. I do hope to get organized this year for doing shows and getting a lot of claying done. I dont usually make resolutions but this year I think that would be a good one.
So have a great New Years and I will see you soon.

Shows and claying finished for 2009
I had a good year doing shows and with clay. I did'nt do as many as I had wanted to but it worked out much better than I had hoped. I was so pleased to have been invited to have my jewellery at The Lindsay Art Gallery, they are such gracious , helpful people . I was invited back for the members show which ends December 18.
I am really not quite finished with clay for 2009 as I want to make some pendants for Christmas gifts. I have some already cooked , I just have to put them together.
We have had a major snow storm that dumped over 121 centimeters of snow on our little community. Dh has been shoveling and snowblowing steadily for 2 days. We could hardly open our door to get out. I havent seen the squirrels for 3 days, they usually come around to be fed at least once a day. I am going to try and post some pictures of the snowstorm and of some of my new jewellery,
Have a wonderful holiday season!!!!!!

New Show
Hi
I have been so busy lately and not just with clay. We have had a lot of company which we really enjoy and then I have had a show Art in the Village. This is to raise money for the health unit. We had more people attending this year but the sales were'nt very good. However I met this lovely lady who invited me to exhibit and sell at The
Lindsay Gallery for a month. I could not believe it!!!!!!! And I had only 4 days to get ready for it. I have been claying day and night for 4 days. So today I took my wares to the Gallery and was interviewed by 2 newspaper reporters and had lots of pictures taken. Even though my knees were a tad shaky it all went well. I must say I am very tired but I do have to get more clay ready to go. So I will take a day to recuperate and then get busy again. Life is good! I am going to post a few pictures, I hope you enjoy.
