New clay pieces

I have been busy working on some new ideas for some clay pieces. I hope to have them finished up in the next couple of days to see if I can sell on my Bigcartel site. So far the fairy houses did not sell, which is disappointing because I thought they were cute. 

Anyway here is a heart piece I'm working on, I still have a few more things to do. You cant really tell from the picture but the corner of the heart is shimmery gold. 

another heart

Two different shaped pieces I was just messing around with a little bit.
I have a few more I'm working on but that will be for another post.
Watch for my give away and be sure to follow my facebook page for details.
 

At least its still January

Just a quick note to let you know im having a sale in my store and would love you to stop by!

a poem

Day four

There is a wee girl 

who won't grow up at all. 

Did your angel bear her gently 

because she was so small? 

I wondered that you bothered, 

it's such a long long way, 

from Heaven to a parent's heart 

and then not let her stay. 

Forgive the tears and pleading 

and bitterness we've shown, 

we really did not understand 

that she was just a loan. 

We forgot in all the sweetness 

and joy from day to day, 

somehow we never really thought 

she'd have so short a stay.

Just some pictures

Day 3

Today I took some pictures of the birds that were visiting my feeder on the porch.

 This little guy is a tufted titmouse with no tail. Why he has no tail I don't know.

And this guy is a nuthatch.I always love watching the little birds outside. The are so funny sometimes. Today all the sparrows were fighting over one bird feeder.

 I also worked on a few more hearts just to try out some new techniques. I hope to get some made into necklaces tomorrow to see how they look. Not much else to say its very late and my computer is hot so I'm guessing its about to overheat and flip off again. 

New pieces

Day 2

I worked on some new necklace pieces today. Not much else was going on. Its cold here so no staying inside and warm is was I was up to. I need to work on getting the necklaces all put together now. Not sure how that will work, I'm not much of a jeweler. 

I have been busy working on a cafepress page with my pictures on various items such as t-shirts, mouse pads, clocks, etc. And I have a new facebook page to share all my work on. I also have opened a store at bigcartel to sell my clay. 

Now I just need to get in gear and get back to my clay projects. I get so many cute ideas off pinterest I cant wait to try them.
I included my links for anyone who would like to have a look. You may also find the links on the top of this page. Thanks for your time! And thanks for reading.

See you tomorrow.

Happy New Year

Day 1

I have decided I will try to post every day. That is going to be my new year resolution! I am going to try to post about clay mostly but there will be other things Im going to start to talk about. Some may be about cooking or pinterest ideas or even some of the hobbies I like. But whatever it is I will try to do a post every day this year! Whoa! That's going to be a good challenge for me! I also I am going to make sure all name requests are filled! Yay! So I'm off to bed so I can get up early and start some projects around the house. Here's to having a Happy New Year!
