Happy Holidays!

2010-12-14T16:30:00.003-05:00

I just want to take a minute to wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy new yr!

I hope to keep up better with my blog but so far it hasn't happened! Alot has happened this yr and as i reflect on it....it was alot about personal growth.

Teaching me to be stronger and being able to let go.

In october I had to make the very very hard decision to put my kitty down.

He was my fur baby and he ment the world to me. He had gotten pretty sick and it was time for me to make that choice. Not one I took lightly. But one I had to do for him.

He made it clear to me that he wasn't going to keep taking his meds and was ready to go "home".
As much as I hated to let him go, I knew it was what I needed to do.
there isn't a day that goes by i don't think of him and miss him. But as time goes on, each day gets a little easier.
I'm sure he is up there watching over his "momma" and his "daddy and sis".

So this holiday season keep your fur babies close, and your loved ones close. and LOVE them with all you have!

Love to you all and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

this and that.....

Monkey'in around.....

2010-05-27T11:44:00.002-04:00

So it had been a while since I've made a monkey....

And I've been playing around with some new eyes:) So one night while watching American Idol, I got my clay around and made me a monkey! She is a little larger than the others I've made but I think she turned out pretty cute!
Her eyes seem to say it all:)
So the next day my little girl and I took her outside in our flower bed to take some pictures of her. We were tryin to come up with a name for her. So we are talking and I am like, Raina, I think the little monkey looks like a Molly. And Raina's reply....MOM! i think she looks like a MONKEY! LOL
awwww gotta love what the little ones come up with! So blunt sometimes!

Anyway............be on the look out for some new little monkeys soon:)

HUGS!

Recipe/picture holder:)

2010-02-16T16:41:00.004-05:00

While I had a few minutes I just wanted to share something I made with you all:)

A coworker of my mom's was leaving to go to a different job and mom wanted me to make her something. She loves to cook so i thought maybe a recipe holder would be cute!
This is what i came up with ;)

This is the first time I've made anything like this and well it was hard for me to part with it:)
LOL
I really enjoyed making it! and I am sure there will be MORE TO COME!
HUGS and ♥

WOW!

2010-02-06T09:10:00.004-05:00

WOW!
alright so its been a while since i've posted a new blog.....so much has happend.
Some good some bad......all in the way you look at it.
It always seems like right after the holidays is one of my hardest time of years.
Then right after the new yr, the house I grew up caught on fire. My parents still owned the house and i live a block away so i go by it everyday. When your young you can't wait to move out and start your life but when you see all your childhood memories go up in flames you are never really ready for that.
But thankfully my partents weren't living there anymore and no one got hurt.
So needless to say I've been in a funk. But hopefully knowing spring is a few months away.

I have managed to get some of the new lines for Gymbo done!
WOOHooooo!
hehehehehe

And I hope to have some goodies up on ebay tomorrow as well!

If you have facebook be sure to check out my fan page!

Hugs to you all!!!!!

Happy New year!

2009-12-31T11:33:00.002-05:00

I just wanted to wish you all a very happy and safe new year!
Thank you ALL for making 2009 a great year here @ Kind clay!

I put some of my last figures for 2009 up on ebay!

I am soooooooooooo excited to get some ready for 2010~!
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
be on the look out for fairies, and other little critters!

Be safe and Happy new year!

Twas the Night before Christmas

2009-12-24T09:35:00.000-05:00

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

Its almost here............

2009-12-18T13:48:00.003-05:00

2009-12-02T16:52:00.003-05:00

WEll its thanksgiving week!!!!
So much to do so little time! I really look forward to this time of year and being with family and friends! Although there are times I think of Thanksgivings/christmas's past.
I will always cherish those memories with my grandparents and other family members that have passed. It was wonderful growing up with such a wonderful family and for FAMILY is what i am thankful for!
Without my parents, my hubby, my little girl, I honestly don't know what i would do.
They can drive you nuts sometimes but in the end they are the ones that love you unconditionally! and not much can change that!
I am also thankful for all of you that like my work! Without you all there would be NO KINDCLAY! Its every single one of you that keeps me at the clay table creating more and more! SO THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

I've posted some new auctions on EBAY!
And i have some goodies on etsy, and I have also updated my website a little.
I hope to have some more new lines up this week!

Hubby's been under the weather and then raina came down with some nasty stuff friday after school and well lets just say I have had to be the strong one and I'm not handling it well!

I miss you grandpa!

2009-08-06T11:06:00.001-04:00

HI all!!!
I just realized that 15 yrs ago today my grandfather passed away.
We had been away on a trip and we got word that he was very sick. We did make it home to be with him before he passed. So in that thought......We miss you grandpa! I miss our trips to the barn together, feeding the kittens, and you making your leather key chains, and zipper pulls. I am thankful for the time i got to spend with you and thankful you had the patience to teach me to make the zipper pulls. I just wish i would have been a little older and would have learned to make your key rings! I guess that is something i have to learn myself though:) LOVE YOU!!!!!

On a brighter note.....
I have posted some new M2M Janie and jack on the site as well as some gymboree.
I have some gingerbread up for auction on ebay just posted lastnight.

*** PLEASE NOTE FOR THE WEEK OF 8-10 through 8-15*****
I'll be kinda taking the week off. I will still be taking orders but those orders made during that time may be delayed a week. Its our last week before raina starts Kindergarten. And well we haven't taken a vacation this year so Hubby and I decided that he would take the week off and we could go to the zoo and all that fun stuff! Yeah summer has went TOO fast and we have had other projects going on and nothing like waiting till the last week.....
But i just wanted you all to know that i will still be taking orders but they will be delayed a bit. Not too long. she will be going all day so that first week of school i plan to get ALOT done!

Story Time....you might learn something...heheheh

2009-04-22T12:25:00.001-04:00

Alright so......Another fellow clay artist, Linda Peterson, told us in her blog that when you tell a story about a figurine you are making.....it kinda makes them come to life!
So naturally I had to try it....and It really does make the little one come to life.
While I was making this little froggie, I kinda stepped into his world a little! What would be like to be a frog.....what would your life be like, your feelings, your cares, your fears? It was kinda fun to make him come to life and to tell the story about him!
So maybe if you are working on a figurine.....try to think of a story to go with it!
You'll be surprised how much more lifelike it will become........ Thank you Linda for sharing this tip with us! I'll put it to good use:)
Here is my story......

Spring is just around the corner!Raina and I went outside the other day and took a walk.It was such a beautiful day! The birds are starting to come out and all the little critters! After our walk we went and played on her swingset. She just loves to play.As she got into her sand box she heard this Crrooooaaakkk."MOMMY!!!! What was that" she asked. I listened. "CROOOOAAAKKKK""hmmm sounds like a froggie sweetie!!!" "A frog? Ewwwwww frogs are yucky mommy!"The little frog was listening to what Raina had said.First he was a little upset that Raina thought he was yucky.He looked at his little froggie legs and thought to himself, I'm not yucky!So as he heard me explain that frogs ARE NOT YUCKY and that they are pretty cute, Raina started to think that maybe they were alright.But she was still unsure about it.So as the little frog kept listening......he looked around."Hmmmm what could I do to show her that I am not so bad after all? She is such a cutie and I really want to meet her! I mean we do share the same yard and all....."CRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKK"That's it!!!!!!!!!!" He thought!He hopped over to the little flowers that were comming up and picked one.He hopped back over to the sandbox where Raina was sitting."CROOOOOOOOOAAAAAKKKKKKKKKK"She jumped a little because it scared her. And as she looked down, here he was with his cheesy little smile and a flower just for her!"MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!! Look!! isn't he cute!" she yelled. Looking down I seen the cutest little cheesy smiled froggie."well that is your little froggie friend that you heard a few minutes ago, Raina!" She had the biggest smile on her face!"Frog's aren't so bad after all mommy! They are pretty cute! and Nice too!"

Moral of the story.....
Just because you have this impression of something or SOMEONE, it doesn't always mean you are right....You could be totally wrong! Things aren't always as they seem!
Sometimes you just have to take the time to notice!

Happy Tuesday!

2009-04-14T13:24:00.000-04:00

Alright....so there is this site called Blue fuzzy Slippers or FuzzB.com.
Its a pretty neat site! Its kinda like ebay, etsy, myspace, facebook, blogging, and all that wrapped into one site!
I have a my page there! But I am trying to get the nerve up to start selling there.
Its a pretty new site so they are still working on it from time to time but I think it will be a pretty big site!

http://bluefuzzyslippers.com/profile.php?profile=100154

It is fairly cheap to sell there as well!
http://bluefuzzyslippers.com/sell.php

If you do decide to start up a store could you please put my addy in the referal box?
Sorry to ask but if you don't want to that is alright:)
jc2177@yahoo.com

Right now you can even try a free store to see how it goes!
You have a limit of 10 items to see how it goes!

then if you want a store for a whole year its it only $25.00!
with no listing fees and no Final value fees!

I just wanted to spread the word on the FuzzB!
Looks pretty promising to me!

HUGS!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

2009-02-14T10:38:00.000-05:00

Its the day of Love!!!
I had wanted to make Raina's valentine day or pre valentine day super special at school!
She was to have 3 carnations delievered to her and they were going to have a party!
And wouldn't you know it.....thursday night she came down with a high fever and she didn't get to go to school. She was so bummed out! I had forgotten about the flowers and her teacher called and wanted to know if I could pick them up for her so my mom went and got them for her!
And her teacher also sent her valentines for her.....she was sooooooooooo happy! and she started feeling better! and by lastnight the fever was GONE! The POWER OF LOVE!
Or maybe it was because her daddy got that teddy bear she had been wanting! heheheheheh
Today its snowing!! A pretty snow!
We aren't suppose to get much which is a good thing! LOL

I hope to get some new goodies up on my site this weekend!
Some new bow centers/beads and hopefully some new easter goodies!
