Still Playing with Clay & Got Snow?


You know the feeling...when you awake in the night and it seems brighter than normal? Snow...we awoke this morning to a winter wonderland, so beautiful. There was about 1 1/2" of snow on the ground and it's still snowing. The forecast was that we were to get less than 1" of snow, so this was a real surprise.

Around here it doesn't snow much, so even with the slightest bit of snow schools close. The kids are super excited...snow and no school, a win win. However, they both have projects and essays due next week so we will be working on them. My son has to write an essay on his patriotic role as a U.S. citizen. Deep for an 8 year old.


Yesterday, I played with clay some more. Mostly I was trying to experiment with mixing colors and getting the beads the same size with a nice round shape. The size a shape are challenging me a little, but I had loads of fun. Besides, it's too cold to work out in my workshop...no heat, BURR!
Have a fabulous weekend:) And keep warm!

  2. These are great, Shelby! The colors are enough to brighten up any dreary day. My favorite is the orange one in the back with the lines running through it.
