2012, A New Year

Quiet Morning

   How quiet it is, just bird sound filling the air, a new year and all we hear is nature around us, not a car or plane, no children playing or dogs barking, it's as if we were meant to sit and listen to the new year, just for a few hours before it all starts again, what a fantastic start to 2012.
   I guess most are still asleep after celebrating the new year and some nursing sore heads over a coffee, but what ever the reason it has made this few hours perfect.
   The kiln is on as we want to make a few beads this morning, the first of the year and I hope the first of many. I have pots to turn and finish in the clay room later and I hope to get a start on clearing out the greenhouse, it's going to be a busy day here followed by an evening sorting through just one spare room full of junk, anything that might sell will be listed for sale online and any other bits will be took to the dump, it really is a fresh start here.
   I'm hoping that my pottery suppliers are open Tuesday so I can order the raw materials for making my glazes as I've now got quite a collection of items ready and waiting to be finished. I hope this week to get some more pendants made and I hope some will please me enough to list on etsy and not get dumped in a box as so many have already. All in all it's going to be an exciting start to the year and I hope it's the same for all of you out there, lets welcome 2012 with lots of fresh ideas and make it a really good one
