I have many new beads that I should have added to my store by then.

And it is not too late to use my components to make something wonderful and unique for Christmas gifts; or just take advantage of the sale to get a head start for next year.

I also have a new line of leather items all ready for gift giving

Stop by my blog during the weekend, if you leave a facebook post, tweet or pin about the sale and the link to it, you will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to my store.

Christmas Weekend Raku

 I spent some time Friday, Christmas day (waiting for my sister and niece to arrive) and Sunday doing some raku firing. It is not fun in the cold...I do it out in my shed. I was even worried about the thermal shock to the pieces, going from the very hot kiln to the cold air. But everything turned out OK. These pieces are slowly going into my Etsy store. I did about 36 pieces total. This weekend the temp is supposed to go up near 50! Maybe I should have waited...well, who can predict the temp in OHIO?
