I have made some progress

I managed to get going at last. The teapots look so cute, I want to keep them all. I love little flowers so most of them have little flowers. There are a few with dots and leaves - can not put flowers on everything, I suppose. I am hoping to get them varnished on saturday afternoon and they should be ready to be sent off to their new home on monday.

I get to play with clay

I am thrilled - I got an order for 15 teapots. I have free reign over the colours too which is rather nice. I love any excuse to get the clay out and make beads and charms. The only problem then is that I have a difficult time packing it all away again so that I can make jewellery with other beads. We have a craft market coming up this weekend so I will have to make a few more items before friday. Winter is so quiet at the markets that it is hardly worth all the effort of loading the car and leaving early in the freezing cold morning air - I am not looking forward to it - can you tell?
