Which Way To Turn ?

I Need More Hours

   What a week it as been, at last we are getting back to normal with the hot water all running ok and yesterday the car getting through it's m.o.t with no real problems, this morning was the first morning in months I woke up without my first thoughts being how to sort problems out and for the first time in ages I got a good 6 hours sleep, things must be looking up ! But, there is one big worry, how the hell do I get everything done work wise, I have spent two days making seaglass beads for commissions, which I have now completed, I have a mountain of beads to clean, photograph and list on ebay and etsy, then to finish it all off I have a kiln full of ceramic beads and pendants to fire and glaze, which way do I turn ?
   To be honest I'm loving every minute, I couldn't think of anything worse than having nothing to do and I'm really getting excited with the ceramics, so many ideas I want to try with a few already working better than I thought they would. This weekend I'm hoping to try out some pendants into which I hope to incorporate glass, so that's a first for me and I'll show the results on here, unless they look so bad they get binned.
   I've been collecting seed heads and leaves for ceramic designs this week, as yet only from the garden but I've found a very wide selection which I hope will give me plenty of ideas to work with.
   I'm starting to notice the fens are getting that early winter look about them, going are the green fields of vegetables and now the carpets of the plough cover these flat lands, a rich earthy look making each square mile look like three. The winds seem twice as strong as those of summer, bringing coldness and grey cloud, making this area that cold hard part of open ground we all know it to be, the home of weather beaten farmers and fen tigers, hard living people who shy away from nothing.
   Well it's time for me to head back to the barn to face that pile of beads that await a clean then its focal making for me today followed by a few hours in the ceramic room and don't tell anyone but I'm working on hearts, yes me and hearts, god whats happening to me ?
