Happy New Year!!

Best wishes for a great 2008 everybody! I know I have not been as good as I should on the posting here. Things get in the way and time is flying so fast lately, I can't keep up with all things I'd like to do.

I am excited that I did my first show and things were really well, sold some pieces, recouped my fees so I'm happy. I am not going to say that I made money because that would be a lie, I have so much money invested in supplies, equipment, clay materials
etc, etc, etc. But I am getting in gear to add more venues for the cause. So, in a way I am excited about that beginning for me for the new year.

I am also going to be teaching a six-hour workshop on making ceramic beads, pendants and ultimately the last class is making jewelry with the ceramic pieces made. I will be teaching it at my local supplier,in Santa Ana, California. The workshop will be held Fridays, February 15,22 and 29, from 9-11am.

This Chritmas was fun for me, I got to spend time with my Dad, brothers, sisters and their kids. Some of them I had not seen for a few years since they live in Yucatan, they are all grown and beautiful kids. Lots of food, screaming, laughing, and games we played that almost turned into a war....it was fun.

More later,
