A Late Night Building

First Evening Building The New Site


   It's a later start for me this morning after spending what seemed like half the night starting to put together the new ceramic site, I'm hoping by Christmas I'll have both a new bead and pottery site up and running. After being asked by more customers why I haven't still got my websites and explaining about the problems I had, I thought it was time I sorted it all out, the idea is two brand new sites, both with shops to sell beads and ceramics, it will take a week or two to get them built and sorted ready for sales but at least I'll once again have somewhere to sell items without having to pay all those sellers fees.
   I will still be selling from both my etsy and ebay shops but in the website shops I can just list my favourite sets and ceramic pieces, I guess these sites will be more for me to show off the items I enjoy making rather than making lots of money, but we''ll see how it goes.
   Another really wet morning here in the fens with blustery winds playing with hedgerows and reed beds alike, the last autumn blooms dancing in the garden, hanging on until their winter fall while a pair of gold finches hang on to their feeder for dear life like north sea fishermen riding a storm, god I love mornings like these, sitting here in the warm with my cuppa while watching those wild skies.
   This morning I'm at my torch as normal with spacers and focals to make for ebay, I have a commission order for ruffled discs to complete and I have beads to clean and photograph ready to list this evening. The afternoon will be spent in the clay room trimming salt bottles, salt shakers and some tall slim neck bottle vases followed by throwing pieces on my wheel, maybe today I'll produce the first special piece that I can save for the new site, fingers crossed.
   Ok, back to it for me, I have wild weather to watch while I work away in the warm next to my kiln and whatever your plans for the day I hope the weather isn't too bad where you are.
