Early start

5.30 in the morning
Over the last week, I have been busy with home, children & clay stuff & because it's school hols, I haven't been setting the alarm every day, you know, trying to get every last drop of sleep I can, but still being woken up no later that 6.45 each day!but one day I woke up at 5.30, & didn't feel the need to go back to sleep, so I got up...it was so lovely at that time of day, really quiet (I know, theres good reason for that, sane people are still in bed)I managed to get, what would usually be a couple of hours of stuff done had I tried to do it later in the day! If only I could always feel that wide awake-I suppose that staying up late either claying or working on Ebay doesn help....perhaps it's time to change some habits!

workshop



last weeks workshop went very well, I think all the ladies really enjoyed it, I was really nervous, but as it happens, I didn't need to stand there & talk as we wouldn't have finished claying until really late!

Recovery!






Sorry there's such a gap in between posts, our half term was swallowed up by sickness, worry & a stay in Broomfield hospital, all is still not well in Happy house, sore throats & headaches, I think we need to make an extra effort to eat our 5 a day.








I managed to get some claying done (but not the ironing) I have got the Hylands house craft fair in a couple of weeks, & theres still lots to do, I still need to construct some sort of display stand, as my current arrangement isn't big enough, might have to concentrate on that for now and pack away the clay.......

Todays happy thought; Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing, is like clearing the path while it is still snowing!
