Ok folks sounds like you are all quiet which either means you are
busy,
or bored, or doing other things? I have had a dreadful winter here
and
just could not pour any slip! It was a nightmare, and when I went to
my dealers, they said it was nation wide!

People had orders but they just couldn't fulfil them. The days are
just gorgeous here now that Spring is arriving although the mornings
and nights are still cold! But during the day it is heaven! You
could not ask for more. I have actually been outside with nature and
admiring her with full swing. In fact I have been cleaning up and
seeing what sort of projects I could get on with. Richard I have to
thank you for the dress pattern links. I have had a good look at
them and they give me a lot of ideas.

I have picked up some of the faces of lady dolls and decided to do a
portrait on them. Painting them like I am an artist. I am so
flabbergasted at the results. Am still firing them there is a lot of
firings. I am so looking forward to a new kiln! This poor old thing
has really had it's days.

Anyways I have pulled out some Diana Effner's babies, for the start.
I didn't realise I had so many. I bought them years ago and forgot
all about them! I have pulled out my machine and have been playing
around with my sewing skills. Am impressed with the results and soon
I will be putting new pics on. In todays market things are so hard,
but I have decided to do overthetop things my way, like a true artist
and see if I get any response??

Christine and Richard you have inspired me now I will show you what
it takes when one learns from each other? Hope to hear from you
guys! I have also been busy doing my web, boy I am learning, Richard
that is something good for you to participate in? It's very
rewarding and all I can say it improves with practice!......Hoping to
hear from you all to see what you all are up to.......Natascha
