Busy Working...Could Really Use Some Christmas Elves!!

The last few days have been CRAZY busy!  Trying to get all the custom orders I received for Christmas done and mailed so they actually arrive in time to be put under the tree.  I've been making LOTS of ornaments.  I'm working on a custom ornament now that I'm actually pretty excited about.  It's VERY detailed, but if I can make it work...it will be exquisite!  Don't worry...I'll post pics here. :)  But with all this over night business, I haven't had much time to work on Christmas present for MY family...So I'm still heavily in production mode!  Can you believe Christmas is only 22 days away?!?!?  OMG!!  Where did the time go?!?

 Lots of new goodies pulled out of the kiln and listed on Etsy last night and today...Here's a sneak peak!




I've been doing LOTS of hand building and not as much work on the wheel.  I'm really loving what I'm coming up with though....Especially the fused glass ring holders!!!  REALLY love the way the purple flower and the fused glass turned out..  BEAUTIFUL!!

Well, I guess that's enough procrastinating for today...time to get back to work.  Really does make me a happy camper though.  People LIKE my ceramics enough to buy them for themselves or as gifts.  I'm helping bring in a little extra money to help our family...You have no idea how much of a boost that can be to someone who cannot hold a regular job.  I have to be able to work on my schedule, which is never predictable.  Just last night/this morning...I stayed up all night and finally fell asleep at 0800 this morning!  Slept for 4 hours...and now here I am!  So anyway...being able to bring in a little extra money by doing something I absolutely LOVE is amazing...

Well, I guess I shall get back to work now.  :)  Thank you all for "listening" and participating in my endeavors!  <3
