Signs of Spring

Just the other day a whole flock of yellow Finches came to Finch feeder and are now here! what a joy to see them!  In this state of transition & anticipation of moving into my new studio, I have decided to put some of my jewelry designs on etsy.... so now I have Ladybrook Beads & now my designs on Etsy!  Will be listing as I go along.  In the process of organizing...yikes...my years of collections of beads, findings, ok, my passion!LOL!  I have clay in many stages of being finished Ladybrook Beads, pendants & charms...

Looks like this will be a very interesting, creative year & I welcome it!!  The sun is shining today & that's a great start!  May you have a beautiful day! I was thrilled to have my Fairy Dance pendant chosen for an etsy treasury!  Well, back to work....

Feels good to be coming back!!

It has been a long lost year...managed to survive  life threatening health issues, and it has been a long recovery! but on the mends & back with clay & going forward!!  Studio is coming along beautifully.....should be in there soon!!  Recently have been in touch with my clay group www.BeadsofClay.org   and amazed with the growth of the group & amazing designs!!  So, I will be adding more beads to my etsy store and soon be adding  jewelry to my website.  I never gave up my dreams! I feel grateful, humble & thrilled to be going forward....back to clay & working on the studio....love my old metal sink base ( a Craigs List find), that was very rusty but with our hard work of sanding & cleaning & repainted, it is now restored! hubby laid down bamboo flooring in the front room area of the studio and we are leaving the back area cement, where the clay, glazing & kiln will be. So, we're getting there!  The light through tunnel is shining...I can really see it after so long!!  
Have a day of blessings!

December...

November has bid us farewell and here we are into December!  Time has taken wings!

Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with blessings & cheers & lots of turkey with all the fixins' !!   So much rain came down yesterday our big rock in the basement has a channel where when heavy rains come, the water makes a little stream ( a little Ladybrook ❤) right into the floor drain to outside.   Wish I was in my new studio...sigh...but will be soon, so in the meantime I had to bring all my clay & stuff back to the basement (arghhhhh! no room!!) and dealing with it!LOL!!  "it won't be long"  "it won't be long"!!!   I did manage to make some new snowflakes & pendants, which are over by the woodstove drying.  Will photo some pieces later & show.  There's so much going on  with Beads of Clay!! and  I was thrilled that my Empowered pendant was chosen along with sister clay Artisans for the Black Friday Giveaway!
