Well, it's the start of my 2016 show calendar! I have two new fiber shows. The first is this weekend in Ocean City, MD, the next is the first weekend of March in Pittsburgh, PA. You can find all of the show information on my <a href="http://www.whitecloverkiln.com/">website</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get ready for these two shows I have been making lots and lots of buttons!!</div>

I love how some of them came out. The yellow is kind of yucky so I probably won't be using that one again. I'm not sure these are useful - they have two embedded hooks on the backs. I was thinking of them as closures for a necklace. What do you think? they are about 1 1/8 inches across. Too big? Too clunky? Would love some feedback on them.</div>

It was horrible losing Howard. I didn't really want to be home but at the studio it was hard looking at his bead and his toys and his treats - that was hard too. I cried and cried over him. Great Dane puppies are very hard to find so I went on line looking to see if any breeders in a 100 mile radius had any litters planned and was lucky enough to find 3 with litters that were all 6 weeks old. We picked one that was about an hour and a half from our home and went to visit him. Two weeks later we brought home the puppy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We named him Wilson. He was so tiny...</div>

Unfortunately, she took a sudden turn and she passed a few weeks ago. too. It's been a very hard year for our family. Stella's brother (litter mate) Stanley has bonded well with Wilson, but Stanley is 10 and a little too old for all this giant puppy energy.</div>

I'm afraid Wilson is going to hurt him. We are also worried that Stanley won't be here much longer. So I talked to the vet and they agreed that if we intend to have a second Great Dane we should get it now so that Wilson will leave Stanley out of the crazy play and we won't have the dominance issues later. If we wait till Wilson is a year (as planned) and then introduce another great dane we could have a little trouble with alpha male battles. So we decided to bring home another baby. We just happened to hear about a litter of puppies that are 7 weeks old and about 10 minutes from our house. So last week we went to see them and couldn't resist this face!</div>

Everyone is like "oh you have a presidents thing going huh?" ah no. We chose the names based on idiots - Wilson the volley ball from the movie Cast Away and Truman from the movie The Truman Show. We just aren't that deep around here - pure coincidence that there have been presidents with the same names.</div>

One has my glazes and the other is for the girls scrap book paper, beads, paints, etc. One desk will be for them to glue and paint and create on and the other is for making jewelry and I'll be using it to pack orders (once they get all of their stuff organized and put away)</div>

Eeeek! I am down to the last 6 days before BeadFest!!!! I have been chained to my desk for weeks getting ready and I still have sooooo much to do! My daughters, Molly and Kellie, and I will be leaving here very early Thursday, August 22 and heading to Philly to set up for the show! I love this show!!! So much fun meeting customers and seeing all of my beady friends - can't wait! If you are coming to BeadFest this year we will be in our same spot as last year. Artisan Alley Booth #454. Please stop by and say hi! Also, here is a coupon that you can print our and use to save $5.00 off the admission to the show!!</div>

I love pinch pot bowls. I never notice how crazy wonky they are until they are dry. Then I'm like how did I not see this craziness? But then I remember that it's the crazy wonkyness of them that I love! It's the reason I make pinch pots and not wheel thrown pots. I love the handmade lopsided fingerprints in them. So I say... bring on the pinch pots </div>

I got an email on Friday letting me know that a spot opened up at the <a href="http://www.sheepandwool.org/">Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival</a> and did I still want to be a vendor? Aaaaah, <b><i>yeah</i></b>! Can I be ready by this Friday....<i>suuuuuuuuure</i>! So since Friday afternoon I have been on a glazing, loading the kiln, firing the kiln, unloading the kiln, glazing, loading the kiln....you get the idea.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be ready. I think I have a good supply of buttons. I'm going to take some finished earrings, little pinch pot bowls, and a few other things with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this festival! I have gone almost every year so I'm looking forward to being a vendor this time around. If you are a knitter/spinner like me - it shouldn't be missed! So, if you are in the area stop by and say hi to me. I don't know my booth location yet - only that I will be in one of the barns. </div>

I spent the past two days playing with porcelain trying to create some new work. I was having so much fun that I was actually sad when 5:00 pm came today and I knew I wouldn't be back to the studio till Monday! Here is what I've come up with so far...</div>

Hello! It's me. I'm starting to get back on track now that Spring is here. I love the month of April. The weather gets nicer and I am out of my winter funk...hoooraaaah!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, I have some news about my <a href="http://www.whitecloverkiln.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm now carrying naturally dyed leather cord in sizes: .5, 1, 1.5, and 2mm! 15 beautiful colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the natural dyes with the leather. I think they work so well with handmade ceramic pieces. It also works with the Irish waxed linen thread for making bracelets - like this one for example...</div>

Here is the link to the YouTube Tutorial </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to make several of these bracelets with my buttons, shank buttons, and big ceramic beads for the closure. I'm working on making groups of beads (enough to make a bracelet like this). I want to make two size bead groups - small and medium. I want to offer kits in the near future - using my handmade buttons/large beads and sets of my smaller beads it would make one of a kind bracelets - who wouldn't love to make one, right? These bracelets are so quick and easy to make they can be a bit addictive. They make great gifts, too, just sayin'... I like when the thread used with the leather is a contrast so I should be able to make a lot of combinations with 15 colors of leather and 36!! colors of the Irish Waxed Linen Thread don't ya think? Can't wait to start playing with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning I listed the .5 and the 1.5 in 12 colors - the rest of the colors and sizes will be listed later today. I'm expecting the shipment today, but I want to make sure that everything is there before I load the listings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have three new colors of the 4ply Irish Waxed Linen Thread in the shop this morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 beautiful Spring colors...</div>

I'm also making some new ceramic pieces. Spring inspired...flowering branches, birds, bees, etc. I ordered some new glazes but they are back ordered - boo hiss...Hopefully they will be back in stock soon - I don't do waiting well.</div>

We are going to Gettysburg on Saturday. We (Mark and I with the kids) are going to do the whole tour the battlefield thing - it's been yeeeeeeeears since I have done that. Sunday is our 23rd wedding anniversary - zowie - I hope it's a nice day. I just want to have a fire out back and hang out (with a <strike>little</strike> lot of wine...)</div>

<strike>We</strike> Mark just built this fire pit in our yard. A lot of landscaping yet to do. <strike>We</strike> Mark put down mulch so that it wouldn't be a muddy mess, but we need to get the stones. In the meantime, it's pretty awesome sitting out there with a fire.</div>
